The title seems to be inaccurate. It appears someone from WikiLeaks or someone pretending to be emailed Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. does not appear to have done anything illegal.

It appears that the investigation is going to focus on Trump Jr. He is their next target.

The MSM-Democrats are convinced that Trump committed a crime simply by running for President, and then committed another, much more serious crime by winning.

That means that WE committed the crime of voting for him.

Don Jr. is great. I’m sorry he has to deal with this.

"It appears that the investigation is going to focus on Trump Jr. He is their next target."

"Trump Jr. does not appear to have done anything illegal."

He hasn't done anything illegal, but not very smart. He agrees to meet with someone he does not know much about with Manafort and his brother-in-law and claims he never thought to tell his father about it.

Sounds stupid at the very least. The 'Junior' is not exactly a chip off of the old block.

It doesn’t matter if Trump Jr. did nothing illegal—the media can still treat it as a crime. First, collusion with Russia is turned into a crime (even though there is no law on the books against it). Now, collusion with Wikileaks will be considered a crime.

Or he and his father have developed a bond of trust that allows Trump jr. to effectively operate on his own without being micro-managed by his father.

Doesn't sound stupid to me at all.

Don’t poke the bear..

Specially if already awake but distracted with other things.

Go after his son and:
- Sessions will suddenly resign
- New special prosecutor announced
- Mueller indicted over his ‘cover up’ of Uranium 1
- Slash and burn policy, Trump decides he will only stay 4 years and doesn’t care. Andrew McCabe indicted, Comey indicted, Holder indicted, Rice indicted, Hillary indicted, Huma indicted, McAuliffe indicted.
Let the swamp Burn!! at leats it will dry up.

At least that’s what I would do

Someone can ASK me to smuggle 150 lbs of heroin across the Mexican border, or sell my family into slavery, but that doesn’t make me an international drug smuggler or human trafficker.

Clinton and the DNC pay for the “Trump Golden Shower Documents”, and McCain goes all in to help, but Trump and his family are supposed to be crooks if they got information for free?

Holy cow farts Batman!
