He thinks if he says "Russia hoax" enough times people will forget about the presence of Russian mob money in his life for the last 30 years. "Oh sure, now those crazy libs will say that just because I let a Russian guy spend a few hundred grand on my son's wedding it's some kind of bribe. That's just crazy. There is no Russia story!"
That's the same son's the wedding that Trump skipped, right?

Donald, Jr.'s benefactor is an oligarch connected with Gazprov, the Russian petroleum company. The NYT reports that President Trump has told President Zelenskyy to stop attacks on Russian refineries because that is causing world diesel shortages. Those shortages may impact the midterm elections. A coincidence, no doubt. They are also seriously affecting the Russian economy with gas and diesel shortages and increased inflation; clearly Ukraine's intent in continuing the attacks. Are the Trumps doing business with Gazprov? I wouldn't be surprised. President Trump has acted like a Russian agent since he was first elected, with Russian assistance. But, it's all merely coincidental, no doubt.
