This is an issue of paramount importance for the US to not only get right but set the right precedent. A line has to be drawn between acceptable collection and use of dirt to damage an opponent and being at most passive in allowing a foreign entity to interfered in our legal processes. Since we can’t force other governments to stop interfering or prevent elements within their country from doing that we have to police our own and come down hard on those who are actively working (whether directly or indirectly) with foreign elements and then looking away when democracy takes a hit at their benefit.
Yep. This is why Don Jr., and Kushner will be indicted and Manafort will have an additional indictment added. Don Jr. was supposed to forward that e-mail he received that day directly to the FBI, and instead not only did he agree to the meeting and said "I love it", but he told them precisely when he would like the dirt on Hillary to come out "especially later in the summer."
To recap:
1) Jr. received information that Russia would like to provide to him dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of the Kremlin's support for Trump to win over Hillary.
2) Jr. responded that "I love it" and then also told them WHEN he would love it the most "especially later in the summer."
3) Jr. then had the meeting and invited the two biggest people in the campaign other than The Orange One himself.
That is all you need to know. THAT is collusion. THAT is conspiracy. There actually doesn't have to be a proven gain from the conspiracy (meaning that we know for sure what the Trump Campaign received from all this). You can conspire to kill someone, and if they find that out but you didn't actually kill the person, you go to jail for conspiracy to commit murder.
That conspiracy won't be shown is a pipe dream for Trumpers.
