Could they have been setting up Trump for blackmail over trying to get the information?

If they were, then that would be proof of collusion between the Russians and Hillary.

Your rock awaits you - now crawl back under it. Since when would anyone condemn the obamas or clintons or do anything about the evil they have committed? Yeah, right - since never. Shut up and go away. This is a nothing burger.

Press accounts of legal opinions on the subject ...

Jens David Ohlin, a law professor at Cornell University finds it criminal.
Opinion shared by Ryan Goodman, a former Defense Department special counsel and current editor of the legal site Just Security, agrees.

Paul S. Ryan, a lawyer and vice president at Common Cause, finds it criminal.
Brendan Fischer, a lawyer at the Campaign Legal Center, agrees it is a crime
Jan W. Baran, a Washington lawyer and former general counsel for the Republican National Committee disagrees

Jeffrey Jacobovitz, a white-collar lawyer who represented officials in the Clinton White House finds it criminal.

Turley thinks it is not a crime

The legal test by the lawyers is the same one used by the courts. When the defendant is a republican and the opponent or judge is a demoocrat, then the activity is a crime. Conspiracy to commit an election offense. This is a very simple legal test, and it works every time.

“do these never trumpers ever go away.”

It appears not. I’ve noticed that these GOPe turds seem to be showing up more recently. Their eternal hand-wringing is obviously a call for a fainting couch. Does FR have a few in storage to accommodate these weenies?

>> “Not good.” <<

Bullshit !!!!

Hillary, how long have you been posting threads here?

There is nothing wrong in any of Junior’s emails.

It is not against any law to gather evidence about a criminal candidate.

And there was nothing there.

That is not “collusion,” and there is nothing illegal about “collusion” anyway.

Change your depends and go to bed.

She had nothing on Hillary that wasn’t common knowledge. She was just scamming Trump in hopes of getting rich.

-- I am interested to see what turley says after the emails. --

Second time I have linked Turley's opinion, after the emails, in a post addressed to you ...

Don Jr.'s Russia meeting wasn't collusion -- just amateur hour

Same link at post 76, above.

What is the political affiliation of those who imagine it’s illegal? What statute are they citing?

Except that the Clinton campaign did work with Ukraine to hurt President Trump and nobody is talking about that. Shocking, isn’t it?

Please read the links. They have the only information available to me, and I made that available to anybody who takes the time to check. Some of the political affiliations are clear on reading, other have to be inferred by affiliation with an interest group.

At least two of the articles cite the relevant statutes with precision.

The only way I’d be remotely interested in your links would be with the advance assurance that those imagining a crime are not Leftists.

I though my sarcastic description of the legal test made that clear. Democrats see a crime here. Your previous post asked for names, and I did a little footwork to gather a few names who went on the record, on both sides of the question.

Given your reaction, I see that my effort to answer your inquiry was a waste. I shant make the same mistake a second time.

There are no statutes about “collusion.”
