FRC rules state foreign workers can work for a campaign if they're volunteers.

Unpaid opposition research isn't a contribution.

And do you think the head of the Trump campaign was also a private citizen? I assume you are just trolling and not actually this clueless.

Also: it doesn't matter if you figure out what law was broken. You obviously have not run a political campaign or held a security clearance.

DP. You are truly an idiot. There are no laws broken by this meeting. PERIOD. I don't care that you need people on an anonymous forum that has been attempted to be hacked by a computer in the Reagan Building during the last administration to tell you who they are.

Huh?

What's as grotesque as the treasonous and dishonest behavior of Trump, his son, and his campaign - because despite their protests to the contrary, they were clearly in cahoots with Russia - is the absolute silence from the GOP.

Where's McConnell? Where's Ryan? Where are the patriots?
The silence is deafening and will not be forgotten.

GOP is party over country. Traitors.

If the Russians wanted to influence the American presidential election, they did not need Donny Trump. At the time of the June 2016 meeting, they apparently already had the DNC emails and had no problems getting them in the public domain over the summer thanks to the dutiful mainstream media that will report on just about any leak.

The meeting with the Russian lawyer seems more likely designed to cultivate a relationship with the Trump family but it did not work. Jared apparently walked out of the meeting after 5-10 minutes. And Donny Trump did not follow up on the alleged evidence adverse to Hillary or her campaign. Where's the scandal?

Name the act that was treasonous. Are we at war with Russia?

Folks, why do you continue to engage this ridiculous contrarian? He/she is either hopelessly obtuse, a brainwashed Trump follower, or a troll. Maybe all three. These people will never, ever see the obvious - because they don't want to.

The scandal is that Donny Jr. accepted a meeting with a foreign representative who he admits promised him dirt on his father's opponent and that's exactly why he met with her. That's against the law. Just that he accepted and met with this person.

And the other scandal is people like you, purported "Americans" (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN) who have no problem with this behavior. You have become what you say you hate. Swamp thing.

Colluding with Russia to influence an American election is legal? Is it? Is "legal" the only standard that matters to Americans?

The biggest scandal is in his email response of, "I love it". But the bigger scandal, not that any Trump supporters want to see it this way, is the cozying up to Russia while knowing that they meddled in a pretty extreme way with our campaign processes. And even now, blocking instead of helping investigations into what really happened.

My view until now has been it's more about Trump protecting his ego and avoiding anything that would make it look like he didn't win on his own merits...F the American people and their democratic political processes. Now I'm wondering if there was really some kind of active coordination.

Also, is Don Jr. doiing an insanity defense thing? No sane person would tweet: Hey! Here's the written proof I committed a federal crime!

Also: Don, Jr.'s lawyer either needs to resign (because Donny did the exact opposite of what was advised. Which would have been Shut Up!). Or disbarred for gross incompetence. Dealers choice.

It's a beautiful day.

Daddy can pardon him. You don't think he will? Then you haven't been paying attention. Things aren't normal anymore.

Mueller's team is drawn from the Southern District, which is in, uh, NY, where the Trumps reside, all of them. The Southern District will move on the Trump family even if Trump pardons them. And Trump can't pardon himself.

Not quite. DOJ is federal, Trump can pardon all federal offenses. What he can't pardon are state offenses. Since this happened in NY, NY State could charge them. The question then becomes, did they break NY state law? Because NY can't charge them for breaking federal law.

The connections between Mueller's team and the Southern District are very close. These people talk to each other, obviously. When they're done with the Mueller investigation, they're going back to NY. The Southern District will prosecute the Trumps for breaking NY laws. There will be indictments in NY, count on it.

Don didn't meet with a rep from the Russian gov.

Your narrative is false

I hate having to fight over facts but did you read the emails published today???? I suggest you go read it first.

Don Jr thought she was a Russian Government lawyer .. it does not matter what she really is .. It what she thought she was when he went to meet her.

If she wasn't a Russian gov lawyer there's no issue. Despite your desires.

Wow are you wrong. Very, very wrong. Stupid, or wishful thinking? You clearly aren't a lawyer. Don't pretend to play one on DCUM.

Also when you get busted for soliciting an undercover cop posing as a hooker or trying to buy drugs from and undercover cop drug dealer, don't expect to get very far with, "but you aren't really a criminal. So no harm, no foul."

Did this lawyer work for the Russian gov?

I'm sure she did. The Russian government is nefarious. Just watch the PBS Newshour series this week. Talk about bad hombres.
