you can go to jail for conspiring with a foreign adversary to influence or undermine an election, and Jacobovitz thinks what Trump Jr. did ...

I don't understand how receiving am email is a crime unless one acts on the information. I think they are fishing.

-- I don't understand how receiving am email is a crime unless one acts on the information. --

The press asserts that the action is taking the meeting.

DJT, Jr. gets an email that promises evidence from Russian sources, that the HIllary campaign or Hillary as SOS is involoved in criminal activity. Maybe campaign fiunding, maybe pay for play, who knows. "Dirt on Hillary being managed by the Russians."

If he takes the meeting, he is colluding with the Russians, because getting evidence that Hillary is cozy with the Russians, from the Russians, benefits the Trump campaign.

That is the logic.
