Denying it later is just standard operating procedure. Employing plausible deniability happens all the fucking time. If it only raises eyebrows when it's someone you hate, like Trump, then you're perverting justice by employing an egregious double standard..
And crying "fake news" fires up Trumps supporting base. Come on man, you know this. Ignoring that obvious answer kind of negates the implication of your question. You're being selectively stupid when it serves your anti-Trump cause.
What's it like going through life with no conviction in any of your own beliefs?
Point is, if you have meetings that are innocent, you don't deny them later or pretend they were about some implausible thing like adopting babies. What's fishy is that all these people on Trump's team act like they never saw a Russian before in their lives - why go so far out of your way to play innocent? If you are innocent, you don't go to these extremes.
So Sessions meets Kysliak at a party? Why not admit it? Why try to pretend he never met any Russians or 'doesn't recall' as he puts it? Why does he have to recuse himself?
There's no need to deny anything if there's no guilt no shame. You just say 'yeah i met the russian ambassador, so did a lot of other people. so what?'
