By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 9 at 12:32 PM Donald Trump Jr. has so far not been indicted for his actions in 2016, apparently because prosecutors decided he was too stupid to pull off an actual conspiracy with Russia to aid in their efforts to get his father elected president .
The subpoena is not new; it was issued at least a week ago, people familiar with the matter said. But a person close to Trump Jr. argued that no lawyer would allow him to go back to the panel for open-ended questioning. Not that there aren’t some circumstances in which even an innocent person wouldn’t want to answer questions. But Donald Trump Jr. isn’t some poor 16-year-old kid the cops are trying to coerce into making a false confession to robbing a liquor store. He’s a grown man with a team of high-priced lawyers who doesn’t want to face questions from the members of a congressional committee, half of whom have pledged their political loyalty to his father.
We know already that Don Jr. lied to the public about the infamous June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that he attended in the eager expectation of receiving damaging information on Hillary Clinton supplied by the Russian government. The question is whether he also lied to the Intelligence Committee about it, which would be a crime. One outstanding unknown is whether he told his father about the meeting before it occurred.
Then the meeting turned out to be a bust, and the “major speech” about “all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons” never occurred.
Like father like son.
Because.......he is Guilty!
HE IS A GUILTY MAN, KUSHNER TOO, THE DAUGHTER TOO THE DADDY THEY ALL ARE INVOLVED IN CRIMES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THEY ALL FALL SOONER OR LATER ITS INEVITABLE HISTORY ALWAYS REPEAT ITSELF AIN'T NOBODY UNTOUCHABLE THEY ONLY THINK THEY ARE.
Stop...you people r crazy
They are all guilty.
I disagree. He is too stupid to be guilty.
Sure he is! Sure he is WaPo! Just stop your propaganda!
locktrumpup
Of course. When Russia said they had dirt on Hillary no one called FBI. That act was against the USA to benefit TRUMP and him ALONE.
More like pissed
😂😂
Typical Washington compost just stirring the pot with hate and propaganda and lies
Maga2020!
Like Obama’s crony’s
That’s because he is a guilty man and he knows his father will pardon him
Who would not be nervous knowing how people pervert the truth ... ummm like WAPO.
A bc he is
Finally, his honesty is seeping through...😂😂😂
Give you Three guesses on why he looks guilty the first two don’t count justsaying
What crap.
'Trump once said 'pleading the Fifth was for 'the mob' It's 'Disgraceful' Much easier to not testify, lie to the public, and withhold the facts from criminal investigation ? Would this be Barr's / Giuliani's recommendation?
Because he is...
'Acting'
really....pay your taxes
2017Guitarman He is!
Like father like son, both dimwits!
Lock him up
That's because he is guilty.
Agree!!! Lock him up!!!
Guilty as sin !!
No need to act! He's guilty
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
So now the hypocritical WP who rabidly rails against profiling is now doing that misdeed against Don Jr. , by announcing that he is acting guilty! which in the minds of the WP makes him guilty.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what pathetic freakish drama queens still think WAPO is a legitimate media outlet and what losers still work there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
WaPo is acting like the propaganda wing of the communist party and socialism.
BECAUSE HE IS
Can’t think why...🧐
LOCK HIM UP
New standard of justice in Neocon America? Acting guilty instead of presumed innocent? Purge the neocon mafia once and for all. Enough is enough.
Guilty is as guilty does
He has already testified for over 30 hours. This is an abuse of power to subpoena him again
Good thing this is only an opinion or people might mistake it as real
This is projection by WaPo. Well they are guilt of lying.
Journalism is dead.
He looks like he is a nervous reck
Off with his head!
Mueller didn’t see it that way.
What happened to you Republicans you settle for lies after lies.
Because he is!
There is no doubt he deserves some jail time.
No he is not You Police State Tyrants. A guilty man doesn't sit before Committees and testify for 25 hours
The WP is acting like “journalists “.
How about he is acting like he is sick of this bullshit made up crime
the felon doesn't fall far from the crime boss
That's funny because Mueller didn't seem to think so.
LOCK HIM UP LockDonnieUp
Maybe he has a pee tape too. 🤔
The SOB is guilty! Ignorance of the law is no excuse. He signed the checks (for starters) that heled put Cohen in the slammer ... I dont care what you call it, I say he colluded and tried to conspire with Russian agents in that meeting in Trump Tower.
To quote a U.S. President: “only guilty people take the fifth. The mob takes the fifth.”
That’s what he is
Because he is?
Fact: lied to the American people for years. NoCollusionNoObstruction
Like father like son.
He is guilty.
He's testified for 27 hours!! The headline is a complete farse.
Time to lock him ( JR) up
The attitude the Senate took by not even informing the Cheif of Staff of a pending subpoena of a family member to the President of the United States is so unusual at best. However I completely disagree with the comment from the Washington Post
Opinion: The Washington post is acting like an ass
G1 paulwaldman1 Resist
BS
Fact: Donald Trump Jr. IS a guilty man.
That’s no act
Like father like son.
There should NOT be any outrage when a mafia family member being brought before justice or/and exposed of their evils. Trump and his family are the parasites that have been making America ill. LockTrumpUp! ImpeachTrumpNow
The problem with the Trumps is they've been getting away with too many criminal acts that they now think they're above the law. They've been thriving in darkness for so long, now they're squirming under the light of justice. LockTrumpUp!
😂dumb.Yea esp after over 25 hours of testimony and questions.This is ridiculous. 0.02% of America care about this. It’s just bothering the American people it won’t be dropped bc it’s the Dems last out to kick trump out of office.Not going to happen. Sorry.Just losing their base
Fits the profile. Tell me how do guilty people act,

The restraint and understatement in this tweet is ridiculous. LMAO
Bullshit opinion
News flash: Because he is.
Lock him up!!
The boy needs to man up quickly..prison is not for daddy's boys
Like father, like son, he is FRAUD
Wellllll, yes!
I wonder if you are suggesting that Jr has a conscience.
When the rules & laws created to punish others come after you.
Bezos really has you all working OT on making this crap up...
“Opinion” aka I’m so fucking obsessed with Trump what I say may just be gibberish so don’t sue me
Well duh.
Junior is Guilty
You people are dumber than box of rocks
He might be.
Occam’s Razor
And Bezos's knows how a guilty man acts,!
We are in a war for hearts and minds.We win by coming up with solutions for common problems: how to create jobs, build better schools, health care for all. These are tangible things. A War of words against Trump is useless.
If Cohen went to jail for lying to Congress why should Trump Jr be able to get away with the same crime?
Those white teeth aren’t gonna save him now. Hahahahaha
Of course he is... he’s guilty. 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Lol ....hard for him to act any other way ...damn ..way too late on that joke..just wish people would wake up ...fire everyone involved the Russian inves..vilify our own intelligence...publicly defend putin..refuse to produce taxes or testify...block people from testifying..
PattyLehner He can't 'act' any other way bc he is a guilty man!
Boy u have another thang coming ask Judas Priest
BECAUSE HE IS GUILTY..
He only got off the hook because it was assumed he was too stupid to know he was committing a crime.
Actually he's 'acting' like the son of a dictator.
Because he’s not acting!
Lock him UP!!
Guilty of what? Didn’t we just spend millions for two years only to find out it was all a hoax!? Stop beating a dead horse. Find some real news to talk about like our booming economy and the record breaking unemployment rate, etc.
He doesn’t have to “act” - he just “is”!
So now, WP determines that someone is guilty by the way they act, what a frame-up and the planting of the gun.
Typical rush to judgement by the morons at the Washington Post.
Lies.
The Washington Post is acting desperate, like a failing news organization
Cause he is!
Like father like son.
I love it
Every last one of you need need to or follow LincolnsBible Kids? All of this is known, established and documented.
You broke my heart, Fredo...
If the shoe fits!
twentiextwo He’s not acting he IS guilty
twentiextwo Because he is☝
He's acting like a man who can't stand being accused of delusion/collusion anymore. Boring.
Why else plead theFifth
WHAAT? Is this real... NO FAKENEWS ONLY
Actually all the Obama administration officials are acting like the Criminals they are
No he is a saint. His track record of social work and activities to help the people in need has no comparison in history of human kind. Moreover, he has shown in all his life how much he respects other people without discriminating gender, race, believes etc.
You are beyond biased. You truly are a mouthpiece for TheDemocrats; nothing more. mediabias
Cause he is.
He took the fucking meeting. He is factually guilty.
Opinions aren’t news
Why does it took long for the law makers to imprison this “entitled “ person? Is it because of privilege ?
Redact 'acting like' and you've nailed it.
Lmao you mean he’s acting like someone who was set up?
There is more than enough to lock him up forever !!!
What are you, some sort of court of public opinion, sound like you are from the “guilty until proven innocent” crowd
No he isn't....will you idiots try to focus on real need.... Unbelievable...WAPO is directly the arm of what is wrong with journalism today
Or a guilty child
Lock him up
Who will the evil Democrats go after next barron
What is he guilty of? NOTHING.
Hilarious
Totally moronic.
It’s not an act
Cause he probably is one
And jeff bezos
Of course, like bill clinton
Take the fifth. So many did it
Opinion: WaPo can only push BS lies via OPINION.
And Hillary, Comey?
Guilty man from a guilty crime family
Because being a pathological liar and scam artist are the traits passed on in that family
You’re opinion is wrong, again. RussiaRussianRussia
this article right here has put you in the very top of the worst of its kind when it comes to fake news. You guys are idiots, Liars, and guilty of collusion and obstruction by posting false stories for political reasons in the next election
That's funny that he already sat down for so many hours of being drilled and came back clean. This is such b******* and fake news he has already testified and did his part. Who would want to keep going back and waist in valuable time that the Democrats don't mind.
Opinion are like assholes, they vary.
Give the Trump bashing a rest.... The WP is like a 2-year old lashing out when it does not get what it wants..... WP you stopped being a news organization decades ago.....You now serve the Dems not the American people
He’s not acting🙄
Bullshit.
Ummmm noooo, acting like a smart man! Trumpderangementsyndrome

No actually he is acting like an innocent make fed up with Liberal BS and lies that have dominated the liberal media for over 2 years,,,,, A-Holes at the WP are the slim, peddling BS to Americans for over 2 years.... Pathetic excuses for people..... You will all reelect Trump
The apple, well, you know the rest....crimefamily
WaPo projecting again... acting like a guilty FakeNews rag. Your days are numbered, WaPo. You're going down for all your lies and your betrayal of America.
elvislver56 Want my opinion...this is all for show...Burrs in on it and its a dog and pony show
Be clearer please, guilty Man-child
You are acting like a Democrat pundit.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Resist
He isn’t acting.
Fake news!
And an actor, too? Is there anything that guy can't do?
Not hardly!
If it walks like a duck.....
The derangement & obsessing over Trump & family shows sickness in the minds of lefties in the USA-Lefties are chasing nonexistent ghosts & demons to explain away Trump kicking Hillary’s ass in 2016-Lefties could solve it by not running a washed up loser like Hillary in 2020
He'll plead the 5th. I can't see him testifying and incriminating his papa. I would love to see him sitting in jail though.
IF Michael Cohen is in Jail also TrumpJr need to go to Jail too, because He lie to The US Congress and US Senate Under Oath about What Happened in TrumpTower and His Business with Russia Corrupt and Criminal People , LockTrumpJrUp & ImpeachTrump and it is on MuellerReport!
The apple, tree thing
Liberal’s melting down is a sight to see. It’s over people. Move on

Guilty men don’t give 25 hours of sworn testimony. WaPo is lying, again.
Really? Guilt that Mueller, 19 prosecutors, 40 FBI agents, 30 million dollars and 600 days couldn’t find! Notice..Mueller never charged Don Jr with Anything...why not geniuses?
He probably think his daddy will get him out of this, by all accounts he is not very bright. To me he looks sullen, not guilty.
He's already testified for over 20 hours on a hoax. He's not guilty just fed up with all the crap the dems are doing.
He's not acting bone heads
He learned from the guiltiest man.
Just like daddy.
So is his father.
Lee_in_Iowa It's NOT an act!
Lee_in_Iowa Only if you read the emails
Doh! Because he is!!!! LOL
No sh*t
Is Don Jr the ultimate deflection? Take the blame for Don Sr.’s malfeasance and Dad will give him a pardon? Throwing some raw meat to the population
How can you tell? Did he ever act like anything else?
data4all Oh look here's another opinion I won't read because all thr news outlets have tarnished their reputations by letting stupid people write opinion pieces. Too bad. It could have had some good info in it. Unfortunately the bar is so low Idgaf anymore. Plus they want money.
Just want attention 😩
Like Father and Like Son stupid is what stupid does. Trying to impress daddy may get you some time little bo peep
Could it be because he IS guilty. How do you like them apples Junior?

He’s acting like a guy that knows he’s untouchable

No he is not. Mueller exonerated him and Trump. WP was wrong from the start and has been putting out incorrect stories for 2 years on this. WP should apologize.
There's no acting...he's guilty AF
WP your giving Jr to much credit. He’s a complete buffoon.
Not acting he is!
He most likely is.

Must be hereditary.
Runs in the family.
In other news - water acts wet.
Don jr is killing it with the younger voters. Dudes a rock star 🇺🇸
NoTrumpIsAboveTheLaw Everyone with a clue knows Trump family is a criminal enterprise. Now it looks like Trumps have been trading state secrets to the highest bidders.
I’m confused. Isn’t he?
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
The sewage doesn’t fall far from the pipe.
A guilty man voluntarily sits down for 22 hours of questioning 🤔

You do understand he was cleared by a two year investigation correct ? How ignorant are you people
So, if a media outlet was found to be a knowledgeable and willing co-conspirator in an attempted coup would they be protected under the first amendment or would any staff members or reporters be charged, tried, convicted and punished for treason?
بابات ما رو یاد شیر فرهاد تو برره میندازه... کلا اوس مغزه😂
Because he is a guilty man.
What do you mean “like “guilt is written all over his slimy face
The Washington post is acting like fools.
He has called on every Rep. senator to tweet how unfair this is... what a crybaby. You can tell he’s used to having somebody fix things for him.
And the Washington Post is acting like the propoganda arm of the DNC.
“Acting”...?
Trump, Sr.: This man set us up Trump, Jr.: Dad, I'm sorry, but I don't know what the hell's happening.
Fact: WaPo is acting like the National Enquirer
Because he is guilty, like realDonaldTrump.
Because he doesn't want to get dragged in for another round of nonsense? He's already testified and been cleared by Mueller.
Like father, like son.
Well, duh.
