Greasy pro-Moscow conspirator Donald "Uday" Trump, Jr., was summoned to testify before the House Intelligence Committee yesterday to explain the circumstances surrounding his meetings with Russian intelligence officials in Trump Towers in June 2016. The now-infamous meeting was held under the cover of discussing adoption of Russian orphans, but was revealed to be about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton in Uday's own e-mails ("I love it.").
Specifically, what Dems on the committee were eager to find out is whether Uday spoke to Donald "Rump" Trump about the alleged dirt in the form of hacked / stolen e-mails from the Democratic National Committee. That conversation (which almost certainly happened immediately) could implicate Rump in conspiring with a hostile foreign power in the 2016 election and violating Federal election laws and cyber hacking crimes. True to his DNA, Uday refused to answer when asked about that conversation, ridiculously claiming "attorney-client privilege" despite the fact that neither is each other's lawyer, only that there were lawyers in the room at the time! He also claimed that Rump had no knowledge of the June 2016 meeting until this past summer, when the New York Times broke the story.
As Uday acts as if he and his father have something to hide, be assured that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is taking note and won't accept the nonsense that those two have an attorney-client relationship.

Don Jr. couldn’t have given Mueller a clearer signal that the answer is incriminating. Hello, grand jury subpoena. https://t.co/7LPcFfXGW8— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) December 7, 2017
