Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, Donald Trump Jr. always feels like he’s the smartest person in the room. Considering his father, this should surprise no one.

On Friday, it was revealed that Trump Jr. had been texting instructions to Mark Meadows on how to overturn the 2020 election. Last night, former FBI agent Peter Strozk mocked Trump Jr. for thinking that he was in charge.
Appearing on the Katie Phang show, Strozk began, “People don’t tend to want to be fully cooperative. You want to know what they did when you sit down with them to be able to push them on issues, or if they try to say something or avoid something, you can put a document in front of them to refresh their recollection or to cause them to have to say the truth.”
The former counterintelligence expert continued, “I expect this is the path that would be followed,” he continued. ” I think investigators, whether in Congress or the DOJ, are going to have a lot of questions for Don Jr. — in particular about who he was talking to.”
Strozk closed, “A successful day for Don Jr. is one when he remembered the correct sequence is that socks come before the shoes. He didn’t come up with these ideas on his own. The question is where did they come from? Is this part of a coordinated activity? It certainly appears to be what played out when January 6th came around.”
