11 July 2011 tweets via Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton

This is the most baffling day in a long, long stretch of baffling days.

Is it possible Trump Jr thinks he didn't do anything wrong?

I just met you / And this is crazy / If you're interested in collusion / Call me maybe?

And now supporters are coming out of the email to say this wasn't a crime and isn't a big deal.

And it's so strange. Last year there were those of us who were all over this story and being called paranoid. And now...this?

It's just so bizarre. As an independent journalist you work crazy hard hoping something will fall into your lap and...he tweeted it?

I tracked down sources. Followed so many dead leads. Labored over this. And then, he just, you know, tweeted out the proof.

I'm not entirely convinced I'm not having a break from reality.

Like. I spent hours and days and weeks and months. And his son just, hit tweet.

I...worked on this story for a year...and...he just...he tweeted it out.

I chased this story for a year and he just...tweeted it out.

The son of the president just released the smoking gun and the people are laughing about it on the news.

This is the dumbest and biggest crime in the history of American politics. There's not even a close second.

I'm not entirely convinced I'm not having a break from reality

floating clouds

Woke up this morning

and fell into a dream

the acrid smoke rising from

the burning metal in

the scrap yard down the road

the silent scream of dead cars

and their orphaned parts

and after the fire

was put out

the glow in the night from

the still smoldering pyre
