Trump Tower meeting emails 'really bad,' aide told Trump

WASHINGTON — The president's communications director didn't sugarcoat it: The emails, Hope Hicks told Donald Trump, were "really bad."

They concerned an as-yet unpublicized meeting in Trump Tower a year earlier involving Donald Trump Jr., his brother-in-law, Jared Kushner, and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The emails showed how the president's oldest son had accepted a meeting with a Russian lawyer with the promise of receiving dirt on his father's opponent, Hillary Clinton. Not only that, he'd been told the dirt was part of the Russian government's ongoing support for his father.

"I love it," Trump Jr. had replied.

The entire cover-up is obstruction of justice. Additionally there this is more evidence of conspiracy

as was trump's "Russia, if you're listening..." plea on national TV.

I still don't get why Mueller didn't call this out for what it was.
