Nothing Trump Jr. did was illegal......and every politician in this country would have done the same thing...
Alan Dershowitz: Don Jr. Didn't Break Any Laws
Dershowitz explained; “If the material was obtained unlawfully, you prosecute, if you can, the people who obtain the material. But there is a First Amendment right of a candidate to use information. You can’t include information under the campaign finance law. That would be unconstitutional.”
"It is inconceivable that anybody who has any knowledge of the Constitution or of American history, would argue that a private citizen, by securing information for a campaign from somebody who may be a surrogate of the government, has committed treason," the professor argued. "It is so ahistorical and so contrary to what the law is that we ought to stop talking about it because we're miseducating the American people. We're miseducating young people..."
On the bright side, he pointed out that young people are suddenly very interested in learning about the Constitution.
