The New York Post didn't pull any punches in a blistering editorial about Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday.

"We see one truly solid takeaway from the story of the day: Donald Trump Jr. is an i***t," The Post's editorial board wrote.

The story, of course, was Trump Jr.'s self-published email chain, detailing how a British publicist arranged a meeting between him and a Russian attorney in June 2016.

The emails reveal that Trump Jr. was explicitly told the attorney was with the Russian government and that she was offering dirt on Hillary Clinton to help Donald Trump's p**********l campaign — meaning Trump Jr. may have broken the law in going through with the meeting.

"As if the government of former KGB spymaster Vladimir Putin would do anything so clumsy," The Post said.

"Oh, and someone was so careless with the e-mail trail that it all wound up being fed to The New York Times," providing for days of embarrassing headlines, the newspaper wrote.

The fiery take was a departure for the traditionally right-leaning Post, which has emerged as one of President Trump's most reliable defenders in print media. Right-leaning news-aggregation website Drudge linked to the New York Post's story at the top of its site.

While the Post stopped short of saying Trump Jr. broke the law, the publication did accuse the president's son of being "criminally stupid."

No sir, he's not an i***t.

But if it makes you folks feel good about yourselves to think of the young man as such, then by all means have at it.

We all saw the NYT headline and we were not at all surprised by the hype.

I am however surprised that you would parrot the headline knowing it would be accredited to your user name.

Therefore we are inclined to believe that you swallowed the hook and ran with the bait.

I don't really think that you actually believe that this young man is an i***t.
.
Maybe you just needed a little attention today and chose to get it by disrespecting someone that you honestly don't know much of anything about.

It's so unbecoming of you slatten49.

I'm ashamed and truly disappointed.

He said, “I love it.”

Yes, upon being informed in June 2016 he might soon be in receipt of information from the Russian government damaging to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. responded with the words, “I love it.”

He didn’t call the FBI to say he had evidence the Russian government was seeking to interfere with the p**********l e******n of 2016. No, he said, “I love it” — and set up a meeting with the shady Russian lawyer who, he was told, might share dirt with him.

He didn’t steer the Trump campaign away to shield it from the stain of a potentially scandalous encounter with an operative working for Vladimir Putin. No, Trump Jr. brought the campaign’s chairman, Paul Manafort, and his brother-in-law, Jared Kushner, into the meeting.

Donald Jr. loved it so, you see.

Now, the fact that Donald Jr. “loved” the idea of getting the goods on Hillary Clinton from a foreign antagonist doesn’t suggest anything criminal in itself.

According to the three people who set up the meeting — 1) Trump Jr., 2) a bizarre British publicist named Rob Goldstone and 3) a shady Russian lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya — the proceedings ended up centering on Russia’s adoption policy.

So unless they’re dissembling — and they could be — no actual collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government took place at the meeting. If they’re not prevaricating, this isn’t the smoking gun that will take down the Trump presidency.

To be sure, Donald Jr. lied outright when the New York Times contacted him about the meeting, which is not good, because lying is bad unless someone asks you whether they look fat in those pants and they do.

But as it happens, lying to the New York Times is not a crime.

At the moment, the only person who might be in some legal jeopardy as a result of the meeting is Kushner, who did not mention the meeting on the form he filled out to secure a security clearance (called an SF-86). The form specifically states that “knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony which may result in fines and/or up to five (5) years imprisonment.”

But enough about legal jeopardy. There is too much focus on the criminal aspect of this event, which might or might not be significant. There is not enough focus on the moral aspect of this event, which is far more significant.

Donald Trump Jr.’s conduct defines the word “disgraceful.” He may not have colluded in the disruption of an American e******n, but the evidence of the emails he released himself indicates he was only too willing and eager to do so.

Now, politicians have had ne’er-do-well relatives throughout all history who have sought to use their kinship to their own advantage. Donald Jr. was up to something else here. He was actively seeking to aid his father’s attempt to secure the presidency of the United States.

If we knew he had been or is in bad odor with his father, or that his father has kept his distance from his son due to the kid’s poor judgment or bad behavior, that would help exculpate the president.

But we know Trump Sr. has knitted his children into every aspect of his professional life. In other words: The president whose daughter took his seat at the G20 conference and who wants his son-in-law to negotiate a Middle East peace is the same man whose son took a meeting with someone he had been led to believe was a Putin cut-out to procure information that would destroy Hillary Clinton.

I’m sure there are people who will defend this, because there are people who will defend anything.

BTW, Wolf, both the headlines and John Poderetz came from the NY Post, not the NY Times.

i***t? No. Politically naïve, absolutely. Hard to know what this attorney's game is. She attended the woman's march in Chicago which was very anti-Trump. I wonder why this is such a big deal when the DNC actually accepted Ukrainian officials offers to help discredit Trump. That proof is indisputable. Not a peep from the major news sources.

I stand corrected and remain disappointed.

Well, Wolf, I am sorry for disappointing you...but not for why. This was a blunder by Trump Jr., by any standards...i***tic or not. The Post and Mr. Podhoretz have been big supporters of Trump all along. They do not take pleasure in this story, only state their own disappointment.

I remember President Carter's brother Billy embarrassing/disappointing him during his term, also. Maybe not the same, but reminiscent of such. The same with President Clinton's brother, Roger. It happens occasionally with p**********l family members. This is another case of such, perhaps due to political naivete...as JFlorio suggested.
