So, in short, Goldstone relayed to Don Jr., that “Emin” had some damning details about Hillary Clinton and Russia, but the meeting, once started, turned up nothing of the kind.. the lawyer wanted instead to discuss the Magnitsky Act.

So..

What exactly is the illegality here? Because if meeting with foreigners is suddenly verboten, then Hillary and her crew should be in orange jumpsuits for all the international contacts they made of a political nature.

And what was alleged to be on offer? “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia”

That was the lure. But no documents or information was provided.

This is not “Trump colluding with the Russians”

Let's take a worse case scenario. What if they DID have something on her. Let's say Trump sought it out and used it!

The campaign is over. What did they use that wasn't already public knowledge. Further, is it was TRUE, then why SHOULDN'T it come to light? If it were something that could be used to blackmail HRC, wouldn't be better to get it out so the lever is gone?

All the garbage that came on Mrs. Clinton was brought upon herself by herself.

The left will claim this is a smoking-gun that shows Trump’s team was indeed looking to work with the Russian’s and Russia wanted Trump to win.

It actually shows the opposite, as nothing came from the meeting. All we have are claims by some “Rob” guy that didn’t materialize, so it actually proves that Trump’s team had no collusion with the Russian’s.

It does imply this was being setup a long time ago.

It doesn't matter. All the MSM needs to do is trumpet 24 x 7 that DJT Jr. met with a Russian Government official in order to get incriminating documents on Hillary because the Russians wanted to support Trump Sr.

The low info voters and the usual Lefty idiots will use that sort of nothingburger to continue screaming about Trump. "Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!!!"
