If you haven't been following the news, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted proof on Tuesday that he met a Kremlin-connected lawyer on the pretext that the meeting would provide 'incriminating' information on Hillary Clinton.

If you still believe the Trump White House - that is exactly how low Kellyanne Conway thinks the bar is for you.

Holding white sheets of paper up to the camera is a watertight strategy, as we all know:
