There was nothing illegal about the Trump Jr. meeting.

As a matter of fact the meeting is in itself proof there was no collusion between Trump and Russia.

If the Trump campaign were already working with Putin, they would have never agreed to this strange meeting with an unknown Russian lawyer arranged by a small time entertainment agent.

Trump should hire Dershowitz.

As some legal expert on Fox was saying, this entire thing about “collusion” is one huge scam. In fact the only mention of collusion being a crime in the Federal Legal Code is in reference to monopolist behavior between two corporations. And as Dershowitz stated, you, me or Donald Trump Jr. can meet with whoever the hell we want, American, Russian or whatever and talk about whatever we darn well please.

Federal law prohibits U.S. election campaigns from accepting money or "anything of value" from foreign sources. The U.S. Supreme Court has held -- on First Amendment grounds -- that this prohibition cannot be used to prohibit foreigners from working for U.S. election campaigns. The only constraint is that they cannot be paid for their work, and must be volunteers by any objective measure.

Perhaps the easiest way for Donald Trump Jr. to steer clear of any legal trouble is if he simply says that he met with this Russian lawyer because he thought she was volunteering to work for the Trump campaign!

A combination of the Democratic Party’s insane bending of the law with their rising anti-Semitic sentiments might eventually drive Alan Dershowitz into the Libertarian or even Republican Party. Stranger things have happened.

Anyway, I note he’s been on FOX a lot lately, because CNN and MSNBC don’t want to publicize what he’s been saying about the current anti-Trump hysteria.

This was mentioned on another thread, and it’s worth repeating here. Suppose in mid-2016 some foreign national had contacted Chelsea Clinton and said “I’ve got some dirt on how Trump misbehaved during the Miss Universe pageant.”

Would Chelsea have followed up on that? You betcha. And would the media have been okay with that? You betcha.

What about the “pu**y” tape Hillary used against Trump during the campaign? I’d think that would be much more questionable — a tape recording of a private citizen that was obtained without the citizen’s knowledge. She had no trouble accepting that (possibly/probably illegal) tape when it was offered to her.
