It is apparent now, Trump did meet Russian Ambassador before the election.... why lie about it?
.
My own opinion, not that my opinion matters a whit, is that So What if a Presidential candidate met with foreign ambassadors.
The problem now is, there have been literally hundreds of denials by his administration and spokespeople saying he has had no contact with any Russians.
I think anyone running for President would be pestered by embassies wanting to meet with the candidate and make their case, feel out the candidate on many issues, and all in all have very innocent, informative, relationship building conversations.
This would be normal in my view.
But why deny, spin, lie, deflect, divert, cajole, threaten, ostracize, etc....if you have done nothing wrong.
There is no reason to lie. To lie is to deliberately give false information, so what would be the purpose? If you have nothing to hide, say you met so and so and move on. But if you have met them, and you leave a trail, you will be found out, and when you cover-up, you leave a stinking mess.
Trump has created so many of his own problems.
Let us hope he doesn't do the same for the country.
If I had read he met with the Russian ambassador a year ago, I would literally have said 'So what?'
Even if it was all about nothing, he has created the cesspool he is in now.
