US Election 2016 (1 Viewer)

'His defense of his actions was that the meeting didn’t bear fruit: that “it quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.” In other words, there’s no way this constituted meaningful collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia because Veselnitskaya didn’t provide him with anything useful.

But experts on national security and election law say this “defense” is, legally speaking, no defense at all.

“The emails are simply put damning as a legal matter,” explains Ryan Goodman, a former Defense Department special counsel and current editor of the legal site Just Security. “The text of the emails provide very clear evidence of participation in a scheme to involve the Russian government in federal election interference, in a form that is prohibited by federal criminal law.”

Jens David Ohlin, a law professor at Cornell University, is even blunter: “It’s a shocking admission of a criminal conspiracy.”

Trump Jr.‘s decision to take the meeting in and of itself likely violated campaign finance law, which does not require you to actually get anything useful from foreigners. In other words, the mere fact that Trump Jr. asked for information from a Russian national about Clinton might have constituted a federal crime.

“The law states that no person shall knowingly solicit or accept from a foreign national any contribution to a campaign of an item of value,” Goodman tells me. “There is now a clear case that Donald Trump Jr. has met all the elements of the law, which is a criminally enforced federal statute.”'

Legal experts say Donald Trump Jr has just confessed to a federal crime
 
Attempted crime is still a crime in many circumstances... And it makes claims that anyone suggesting the Trump campaign would ever have anything to do with Russia is a disgusting liar demonstrably false.

There is still no evidence against Russia in this story only that Trump Jr may have been willing to take information from a Russian lawyer who never provided any.
So it still doesn't support an argument of collusion with Russia scince she provided nothing to him also she is not even an Russian official she is a lawyer.

In part I'm minded to think "who gives a fuck about Russia" in this instance. As has been pointed out by others in this thread the US has done reprehensible things meddling in election of other countries and there is a not unreasonable "what's good for the goose etc" line of thinking that one could take.

However ...

if you're taking the view that Russia isn't a problem here, that doesn't mean that the Trumps and their activities aren't a problem.

Also, just because there's no evidence against Russia re: this particular meeting (though the whole business of Easy D tweeting out a precise number of deleted e-mails shortly after is pretty suspicious) that doesn't mean that there's not other evidence related to Russian activities.

You should read around a bit more as the story has changed since you last checked.

For instance, the lawyer in question was there on behalf of a Russian oligarch who close to Putin. Says her.

She also has worked with the top prosecutor in Russia to trash the American who is responsible for the sanctions in questions.

And.

According to multiple reports today she did in fact bring Clinton dirt to the meeting, and left it with Trump Jr.

So like Jr she lied.

Trusting these people isnt wise.
