Opinion | Glenn Kirschner: 'But it's unlikely we're going to be hearing the full truth from Don. Jr. anytime soon.' - NBCNewsTHINK

Perhaps the committee legitimately wants to understand how and why Trump family members and associates interacted with Russian contacts. But I strongly suspect the question of what Congress hopes to accomplish by subpoenaing Don Jr. will ultimately go unanswered, especially the president's son is able to successfully limit the scope of his testimony.

If his track record is any indication, Don Jr. likely will attempt to use every trick at his disposal to keep from testifying. The GOP-controlled Senate clearly does not believe that Attorney General William Barr’s redacted version of the Mueller report is sufficient. Onthat Don Jr. had told everyone who would listen about the Trump Tower rendezvous with the Russians on June 9, 2016, which the president called “a nothing meeting.” A quick fact check proves otherwise. The Mueller team was able to interview six of the eight participants in the. However, Mueller states that Don Jr.

Tellingly, the next sentence of the Mueller report is redacted for “Grand Jury” reasons. If we could peek under those black bars, we would almost certainly see that Don Jr.’s lawyers told Mueller that the president’s son would invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination if forced to come before a grand jury. Accordingly, Mueller did not go through with the hollow exercise.It’s worth noting that Don Jr.

According to reporting by NBC News' Ken Dilanian, Burr’s committee also wants to explore communications between Don Jr. and his father regarding the Trump Tower meeting. This sure sounds like the Senate is exploring potential misconduct by the president as part of legitimate congressional oversight of the executive branch. Could it also signal the Senate is starting to grapple with the question of whether to impeach the president? Only time will tell.

THINK Why people let the Trumps off the hook for lying?

THINK No 👎

THINK Jr. is just like sr. he doesn't know what the truth is.

THINK More supposition and lies. DNCs Pravda at work spreading lies and propaganda.

THINK Oh come now, be fair... We're not going to hear any truth at all.

THINK Just like HillaryClinton

THINK LMAO, a Dummkopf telling the truth, PLEASE, that is about as reliable as a prayer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THINK I believe Don Jr that time he said his dad called him a loser. That’s the only time.

THINK also give him a lie detector while testifying

THINK why not let Congress hold the hearings then when and if he lies it will be prison time

THINK Liberals aren’t convinced anyone is telling the truth unless it’s something they want to hear. He hasn’t even testified and this writer is already condemning him as a liar in this hearing.

THINK Do you have an implant too? What is this inside my neck? Never talk to me about honesty unless you can come clean. Enjoy eternity.

THINK Duh

THINK Worried democrats I’m sure investigating these people will be priceless 😂

THINK Lol

THINK

THINK if they've already decided not to listen why bother asking?

THINK He is so stupid, he doesn't know what is the truth. I doubt he would know.

THINK QUESTION ¹ for Democrats: Does that mean Saint Mueller didn't do his job well when he said no collusion?

THINK Politicians complaining about people not telling a person the truth.😆😅😅😅lmao😆😅😄😃 Stop😆😅😅😃😃omg😆😅😄

THINK Donnie Jr has no idea how to be truthful! We will hear more lies and I can’t remembers!

THINK Just like dad

THINK That's why he shouldn't speak a word to these vile rats. Darn if he dont. Darn if he does. No attempt to even pretend this is about evidence or reality. Just hatred.

THINK What would Kirschner know aout being truthful? He's one of the biggest liars this side of Hell. It's laughable him acting all pious and moral. LOL

THINK Mueller finds no evidence of collusion/conspiracy, and Congress is still trying to prove their was? Hang it up with this witch hunt. Politicians and the news media are destroying faith government, but it appears to be so one-sided.

THINK 'Trump' and 'Truth' are mutually exclusive

THINK Trump Jr. has plenty of time to concoct new lies. This is a waste of time.
