In an op-ed published in Breitbart on Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. accused Democrats of knowing the conclusions of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigations as early as 2017 and called the investigation an “attempted coup.”

“Even though Mueller’s investigation debunked the liberal conspiracy theories about ‘collusion’ and ‘obstruction,’ it did accomplish a large part of what the Democrats were hoping for. The attempted coup served as a constant distraction from the President’s policy agenda for nearly two years, cast a shadow over the 2018 midterm elections that helped Democrats take control of the House of Representatives and double-down on their obstructionist political strategy, and even took a few Republican scalps along the way

“The overarching shame of Russiagate is that, egged on by a wildly irresponsible media, some people were actually hoping to find out that their President was a Russian agent. The second shame, nearly as important, is that Democrats were able to exploit those people’s delusions to justify a two year, taxpayer-funded opposition research team.”

  1. Does he even know the meaning of “coup”?
    Ivanka doesn’t know “complicit”, I guess illiteracy runs in the family.

  2. Well, if it’s in Breitbarf, it has to be true…

  3. Are you in jail? Is your father in jail? Have Republicans been rounded and put in secret black ops facilities? Has anyone been ‘disappeared’?

    You’re even dumber than your father–and I didn’t think that was even possible.

  4. Donald Trump Jr has been forced to release damning emails that reveal he eagerly embraced what he was told was a Russian government attempt to damage Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.

    The stunning disclosure raised questions over whether campaign laws were broken and why senior Trump associates failed to report a hostile act by a foreign power.

    Trump Jr also admitted on Tuesday night that he could have handled the situation better but he had not told his father about meeting a Russian lawyer because “it was a nothing”.

    The emails show music promoter Rob Goldstone telling the future US president’s son that “the crown prosecutor of Russia” had offered “to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father”.

    British-born Goldstone adds in the exchange of 3 June 2016: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr Trump.”

    Seventeen minutes later, Trump Jr welcomes this with the reply: “If it’s what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer.”

    In a later email, Goldstone describes the Russian lawyer they are due to meet, Natalia Veselnitskaya, as a “Russian government attorney”.

  5. Mueller was appointed by Rod Rosenstein who is a Republican appointed to the DOJ by Donald Trump. What’s more, Mueller himself is a lifelong Republican. The Democrats were the minority Party in both the House and Senate when Mueller was appointed. How did the Dems achieve this “coup” under such circumstances?
