Crime: Donald Trump, Jr. Lies to Congress for Trump

Author note. 

Explore voice = Exploratory style. Very punchy. Personal, and lively using “me,” “you,” “us,” and “I” freely.

I want you to feel me right there with you. We use “I” and “me” and “us” without apology. If the Explain voice is a bridge, the Explore voice is the hike we take across it. It is lively, reflective, and sometimes a bit raw. It is the sound of a shared exploration where I lead you by the hand, but we both discover the view at the same time.

This is where I get to think out loud. Not with definitions, we aren’t just looking at the facts; we are looking at how they feel and what they mean for our lives. I’m talking to you about what I’ve found and what I’m still figuring out. It is engaging because it is real, and it is reflective because it is honest.

The goal is real advice and enjoyable reading. I want to land on something you can actually use. It’s about being direct, being punchy, and making sure that by the time we reach the end of the page, we’ve both found something worth keeping.

And now the piece.

Crime: Donald Trump, Jr. Lies to Congress for Trump

On Sep 7 Donald Trump, Jr. Lies to Congress for Trump about Russia. Lying to Congress is a serious crime (U.S. Code, title 18, section 1001). A Federal felony with up to 5 years in prison. Read Don Jr.’s testimony. Apparently others also told the same lies to Congress. Conspiracy to suborn perjury? Was Trump involved?

Verified: Mueller is sorting this out now but I have this as verified because Donald Trump, Jr. did testify to Congress and in May 2018, Senator Chris Coons said Don Jr. lied to Congress based on the fact that Michael Cohen plead guilty to lying to Congress for the same identical testimony Don Jr gave.


That History Story, 

was first published on TST 7 years ago.

The flashcard inspired by it is this.

Rather than publishing for immediacy, the TouchstoneTruth project releases one edition per week of the TST Weekly Column while allowing ideas to mature long before and long after publication.
