In Drumphs interview in the NYT he said:
TRUMP: As I’ve said — most other people, you know, when they call up and say, “By the way, we have information on your opponent,” I think most politicians — I was just with a lot of people, they said [inaudible], “Who wouldn’t have taken a meeting like that?” They just said . . .
HABERMAN: The senators downstairs?
TRUMP: A lot of them. They said, “Who wouldn’t have taken a meeting like that?”
BAKER: You asked them about it at lunch?
TRUMP: Nah, a couple of them. They — now, that was before Russia was hot, don’t forget. You know, Russia wasn’t hot then. That was almost a year and a half ago. It wasn’t like it is, like it is radioactive, then. Russia was Russia.
Look at his last statement. He’s saying that senators told him they would have taken the meeting “before Russia was hot, don’t forget. You know, Russia wasn’t hot then. That was almost a year and a half ago….”
But Donald you said you had no knowledge if the meeting until just recently.
Things that make you go hmmm.
