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.

They guy in the lower right was one of the people making comments at Foxx’s Smollett speech, saying that the police are the sworn enemy of black people. Same outfit too.
It would have to be valued at more than $2,000 for a misdemeanor, and $25,000 for a felony...and they would have had to have actually taken possession.
I think he’s serving time in the DC jail for shoplifting and they let him out on supervised release for the House sessions.
And what would the likelihood of conviction of been?
A question that comes from someone who used to provide admin support to a felony intake deputy at a county of CA district atty office.
It is not against the law to do oppo research. He’s in charge of the HOR Judiciary Comm he can suggest a law that taking meetings in an effort to engage in oppo research is criminal conduct.
“An unnamed source claims to have seen him diddling little boys. “
With what? As obese as he is, I doubt he’s seen either his willie or his feet since he was in knee pants! I understand he takes a pee using the “braile system!”

This was a Clinton / Obambi setup from the get go. Just research some of the ‘folks’ who set up this ‘meeting.’ If you have trouble connecting the dots, listen and read Dan Bongino & Company, as well as Solomon. If Barr goes after half the creepozoids involved in this scam he will be busy for years to come.
Creepozoids All.
Comrade Nadler doesn’t “understand” much because his head is so far up his ass it is suffocating from a lack of oxygen.
Just hope the rest of his body follows suit, tout suite!
Do we have a rope large enough for that fat neck?
If Nadler thinks Jr. should have been charged, then why don’t HE subpoena him to testify before his congressional committee?
I doubt Nadler has the nads to do that.
Even if Don Jr. would have accepted some information from the Fusion GPS Russians, how would you even place a dollar figure on it? It likely would have been fake dirt and worthless. The idea that the SC was perusing it in the report just seems absurd to me. I think they just doing it to drag out the investigation.
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
I think he’ll require more than one!!
how would you even place a dollar figure on it?
