Caroline Orr@RVAwonk, 1h1 hour ago
The new Democratic-controlled House Intelligence Committee is restarting the Russia probe that Republicans prematurely shut down last year -- and Donald Trump Jr. will be the first person they subpoena.
My latest.

On edit: Adam Schiff is chairman. Swalwell and Joaquin Castro are also on the committee.

(46,136 posts)The thought of Kamala Harris going after him was pretty appealing.

(8,652 posts)...If the unblocked number on June 9, 2016 was to Donald Sr., I don't recall is perjury.
Convictions are beyond a reasonable doubt, not beyond any doubt. No reasonable person could conclude that if, on June 9, at Trump Tower, Donald Trump received or called a blocked number that belonged to his father, that he doesn't (or didn't) remember.
Paul Manafort can't get away with "nor recalling" going to Madrid in 2016 to meet a Russian agent.
Please don't fall into the trap that "I don't recall" can be an acceptable answer to everything. If that were the case, the prisons would have half the population it does.
the rule of thumb is "can a reasonable person conclude"

(7,561 posts)This was not just any father-son chat. Trump Jr. and President Trump were speaking in July 2017, right after his now-infamous meeting in June 2016 became national news. In that 2016 meeting, held at Trump Tower, Trump Jr. allegedly asked a Russian lawyer if they had dirt on Hillary Clintons presidential campaign.
