Maybe = nothing and there is no maybe about it.
Read it all:

"including in kind donations from foreigners. The Trump team wants to categorize it as "opposition research." Well, information has a dollar value - just check how much campaigns pay for research."

And I've already answered this question here on CD, and there are plenty of examples all over the place in the media of people answering this question.

Maybe there will be other laws implicated as well, as more information is developed during the investigation, but this is a specific law that has been broken based on Donald Trump Jr's own admissions. So don't pretend that no one can answer this question.

And a complaint has already been filed with the FEC about it.

Today Michael Caputo, who served as a communications adviser to the Trump campaign, testified at House committee investigating Russian election meddling. He was ask to save and provide any documents he may have that are related to the inquiry. Which he did.

“At no time during this period did I have any contact with Russian government officials or employees.” He said he did not discuss Russia with anyone else on the campaign, including Mr. Trump, during his employment from November 2015 to June 2016.

Empty taco. Hungry dems are gobbling oxycodone like lab rats as they are frustrated at every turn looking for some red meat crime.

The witch hunt chronical marches on.

But I'm sure someone who is will be getting back to Cult 45 very soon with an update.
Well then, if you know so little, why all the accusations? Oh, that's right, the left like anonymous sources and just runs with crap....

Besides, he wasn't disappointed, or Daddy wouldn't have gone on the tweeter machine and started tweeting about Clinton's 33,000 emails for the very first time within minutes of the meeting.

You cannot articulate a chargeable crime that Don Jr. committed. If you can please reference the applicable federal law law and statute that he violated.

Did you bother to read what I wrote?

Jr. went to the meeting expecting to get dirt on Clinton - that's the illegal campaign contribution.

Daddy Trump's Constitutional violation of the emoluments clause is a whole separate topic.

I think the Trump collusion theory has proved to be a big fat nothing so now the Lefty media is moving on to his son.

What exactly are they saying that he got from the Russians that he could have possibly used to get his Dad elected?

Did the Russians give him notes on how to Beat Hillary?

Did they have Hillary's campaign playbook that they found on her private server?

Did the Russians have black mail material that they passed on to Jr. that they then used to threaten Hillary with which made her stop campaigning? She did have days when she disappeared from the public.


Is there a politician or anyone who is in competition with someone not jump at the chance to get some dirt on their opponent?
There is no doubt that if someone called Hillary before the election and told her that they had some good dirt on Trump that she would say "When and Where can we meet and how much is this going to cost me".


I think in the end we will see that this new Russian collusion outrage is a big nothing burger but it sure makes for good press.

If you can enlighten me as to what could have been passed along to Trump or Trump Jr. that would have helped them to win let me know.
At this point it has become Watergate. It's less about what really happened now and more about all the lies and deceit.....if they had just owned up to all the contact......but now they could have gotten themselves into trouble lying on forms, 'forgetting' key meetings. Kushner, Trump Jr. all said NO MEETINGS EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD with Russia -- well except for that time ...and then there was the other time...and then....oops we forgot. Really?
