One of Donnie-baby's statements was this about why he met with the Russian lawyer and the mob she brought with her....Junior stated:
That he met with the Russian lawyer because ...."....she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton.”
Now, were that even a bit "true", shouldn't Junior (or Manafort the senior and more experienced in that hapless bunch of Trump acolytes) have QUICKLY gotten on the phone with the FBI to report that folks from a foreign/adversarial country were FUNDING the hated DNC and daddy's opponent???
The above would make an "interesting" question to be asked of Junior under oath before Mueller, or one [maybe both] of the congressional committees, don't you agree?
AND??
"There's a strong case that Donald Trump Jr. violated the prohibition on knowingly soliciting a contribution from a foreign national," said Brendan Fischer of Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign finance reform group.
The relevant statute — 52 U.S.C. 30121, 36 U.S.C. 510 — bars foreign nationals from making any "contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value" in connection with any election.
It also says no American "shall knowingly solicit, accept or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation" in connection with any election.
Did Donald Trump Jr. break law when he met with Russian lawyer?
OK... so what VALUE did Trump Jr. get from the foreign nationals in that meeting?
Was there any dirt on Hillary, the DNC? NOTHING of VALUE....
But say there was... a very very slim chance but with the biased MSM something of value.
WHAT is the PENALTY??? Death by slow torture? What is the penalty?
AGAIN FACTs from the internet so helpful!
Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.

The statute also says "shall knowingly solicit, accept or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation"

That is why this is called a "nothing burger". There is nothing there.
