Sorry, my mistake.
The statement was released to the NYT, not Congress.
But, this put Jr in the precarious position of contradicting his father, or restating the lie to Congress.
Which gives the same result.

Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said that he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared an article, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”
The claims were later shown to be misleading."
Impeachment is a political thing... and the President does have the right to fire. But not for any reason he wants.
If his intent is to obstruct justice, it is a crime.
And he has admitted that it was "that Russier thing" that motivated him.
Obstruction of justice is a felony.
Even the President is not above the law.
He has obstructed this investigation more than once.
He has also dangled pardons in front of witnesses,... which is tampering with an investigation,... also a felony.
So many details, it's hard to keep track, but we both know there's a lot of dirty going on.
When you pile it up,... it shows that Trump is desperately trying to hide from the facts.
