Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that he doesn't understand why special counsel Robert Mueller didn't charge Donald Trump Jr. and others involved in the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with criminal conspiracy.
Nadler, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," noted that Mueller said he didn't bring charges against those in the meeting because he couldn't prove they willfully intended to commit a crime.
"Well, you don’t have to prove that," Nadler continued. "All you have to prove for conspiracy is that they entered into a meeting of the minds to do something wrong and had one overt act. They entered into a meeting of the minds to attend a meeting to get stolen material on Hillary. They went to the meeting. That’s conspiracy right there."
The 2016 meeting also reportedly involved Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The associates, according to Mueller's report, agreed to the meeting with a lawyer linked to Russia who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Mueller wrote in his report, which was released last week, that he considered bringing charges because campaigns can't accept help from a foreign government or foreign nationals.
"On the facts here, the government would unlikely be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the June 9 meeting participants had general knowledge that their conduct was unlawful. The investigation has not developed evidence that the participants in the meeting were familiar with the foreign-contribution ban or the application of federal law to the relevant factual context," Mueller added.

You don’t understand because you’re a slip and fall lawyer.
[ Nadler: I don’t understand ]
Maybe you’ll understand after the buffet, Fatso (Nadler).

Typical proglib, didn’t get his way so he turned on one of his own.
Love it.
.
So it’s fine for the Hilllary campaign to actually use Russian/Ukrainian dirt (which proved to be false) against Trump, but it’s illegal for Trump people to go to a meeting where they were promised dirt but turned out to be about something totally different?
Don, Jr. has a big target on him. If he makes it through the Trump presidency without being indicted for something, either federal or more likely New York state, I will be very surprised.
In light of this, I think Nadler should be charged for every time he met with a Russian.
Nadler = Nutsack
Nadler doesn't know these things because he only watches CNN. OTOH, Mueller knew about these things. Mueller didn't charge because he knew that rock needs to be left where it lies.
Nadless needs to be indicted for terminal stupidity.
Because the whole thing was a setup by the FBI, Lynch, Hillary, the DNC and Fusion GPS.
He ballooned up nicely.
He could be a Tall and Fat customer but he doesn’t appear to be tall.
They have miles and miles of fabric.
Would there be discovery? I’d like to hear more about Hillary’s and the DNCs involvement and relationship to the Russians who met the Trumps.
This could end up like Rathers Bush letter that blew up in his face.
Getting information about Hillary isn’t illegal. It’s only illegal if you PAY a foreigner. You know, like Hillary paid Steele and illegally structured the payments through cut out firms.
The dumb asses thought this was their ace in the hole. Fusion (CIA/FBI) meets with this Russian lawyer the day before and the day after the meeting.
The plan was that this was gonna be the “proof” that Trump colluded, whatever that is.
“Don, Jr. has a big target on him. If he makes it through the Trump presidency without being indicted for something, either federal or more likely New York state, I will be very surprised.”
EXACTLY what CRIMES do you expect Don Jr. to be indicted for?
The associates, according to Mueller's report, agreed to the meeting with a lawyer linked to Russia who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Since the Mueller "investigation" was 100 percent based on the Hillary-suborned Steele Dossier, why hasn't she, Mueller, Steele, and jackasses like Nadler been charged?
Nadler is desperate, he knows there was never anything here.
