He organized the meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower back in June of last year. Now, we find that he was communicating and working with Wikileaks right up to the election.
How can Jr. escape jail time?

Probably wants to get the little birds to sing first.

(6,038 posts)But it might not be sufficient information to charge someone with a crime. Not sure what the legal standard is not being a criminal lawyer.
I am sure the special counsel team will get on this. Don't get me wrong. I would love nothing more than to get a news alert that says "Donald Trump Jr. charged by special counsel Mueller."
But our wishes and the law are two different things.

(90,363 posts)... Red Dons squad is deep in it with the Russians and so are other KGOPrs
Look at the money the KGOP brings in after CU consistently, no doubt some of it is Russian ... I'd put some money on it.

(54,770 posts)Seems pretty obvious with Ruskie meeting and the lies about that even occurring, but I'm not sure Wikileaks is as clear. There's a lot of other stuff Mueller has to tie down too.
Trump Junior does have the argument he's stupid. I think they will eventually get him, and there may be a lot more serious crimes to consider.

(111,110 posts)...even Pompeo had called them an agent of Russia's? So, he was not ignorant of whom he was communicating with and neither was his Daddy.
