Don Trump Jr.’s Emails Are the Smoking Gun

So now we have it: the smoking gun in the Trump-Russia scandal. It has emerged, fittingly, in a bizarre Twitter outburst by a member of the Trump family. On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump Jr., apparently aware that the New York Times was about to run a story based on his email exchanges with an intermediary for Russia, published the email chain himself. It’s hard to conceive of why he did this; perhaps he thought that making a show of transparency would help him play down the emails’ import. If that’s the Trump strategy—gaslighting the country into pretending that such revelations are anything other than shattering and dispositive—then it’s up to all decent Americans to push back.
