Hey, if Trump is gonna tell his doctor how to write his health certification for running for president, why wouldn't he also tell his son how to write a memo about the Russians?
And.........for any of you idiots who think that this meeting was only about adoptions, think again. Russia stopped the adoptions because of the sanctions imposed by the Magnitsky Act that was passed by Congress and signed by Obama.
Russian government reaction
In response to the adoption of the Magnitsky Act, the Russian government denied Americans adoption of Russian children, issued a list of US officials prohibited from entering Russia, and posthumously convicted Magnitsky as guilty.[17] In addition, the Russian government reportedly lobbied against the legislation acting through a public relations company led by Kenneth Duberstein.[18][19]
Ban on U.S. adoption of Russian children
On December 19, 2012, the State Duma voted 400 to 4 to ban the international adoption of Russian children into the United States. The bill was unofficially named after Dmitri Yakovlev (Chase Harrison), a Russian toddler who died in 2008 of heat stroke after neglect from his adoptive American father.[20][21] Other recent developments include the proposition of a law to prevent US citizens from working with political NGOs in Russia and a proposition of a law, recently abandoned, preventing any foreigner from speaking on state television if they discredited the state.[22]

You can bet your ass that if they were talking about adoptions, they were also talking about getting the sanctions lifted. You Trump supporters will believe anything they tell you without digging a bit deeper to find out what the real story is about.
