Nadler: I don't understand why Mueller didn't charge Donald Trump Jr., others in Trump Tower meeting
The Hill ^ | 04/21/19 10:31 AM EDT | MICHAEL BURKE

Posted on 04/21/2019 2:57:27 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

EXACTLY what CRIMES do you expect Don Jr. to be indicted for?
Not a clue. But anyone who doesn’t think that the Democrats won’t dredge up something to charge him with is naive.
...
It is not naive, just optimistic and guided by experience in witnessing PDJT’s track record, to think PDJT and Jr., are still smarter, schrewer than our adversaries.

I don’t remember the article source but the substitute host on Mark Levin said this week Nadler is an out of control hater who is obsessed with revenge against Trump (since Trump was a civilian site developer and builder). Long ago Nadler tried to stop and slow and obstruct every Trump action in New York. Trump gave the 400 pound Nadler a nickname “fat Jerry.”

For that, Nadler spends day and night looking for anything to destroy Trump even if other Dems in the House think he’s going too far on too little.
Interesting if true.

Nadler’s so fat when he goes to a buffet they give him an estimate. He’s so fat his belt size is EQUATOR. So fat when it rains in his CD he uses the LI expressway as a slip n slide.

Any more insults and I return all your bribe money and we start again at the bottom.”

Because there was no criminal conspiracy, you mental midget!

The Russian had just asked: “Tell me details of working class blacks like your Oprah and Maxine Waters who must live in shacks behind capitalists’ palaces and do menial tasks for bosses.”

“Oprah has how many hundred millions? That many? Oops, my mistake.”

"EXACTLY what CRIMES do you expect Don Jr. to be indicted for?"

These are people who investigated a chess tourny at Trump Tower for Trump's Russian collusion. Facts and logic, real guilt, don't enter into the equation.

That Russian.....Natasha Veselnitskaya...was barred from entering the country.

Obama’s Attorney General.....Loretta Lynch....gave her a waiver which allowed her to enter the country and helped her and Simpson set up the meeting at Trump Tower. Lynch was part of the coup....that’s why she took this action.

Natasha was in up to her eyeballs with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and that phony dossier. She claimed to have dirt on Hillary Rotten Clinton but the main purpose of the meeting was to set up Don Jr., Eric, Jared, etc. She failed.

I’m sure the RATS would have been thrilled if the candidate himself was at the meeting but he was not.

As president Trump himself said last year, “Gathering opposition research is not a crime.”

It’s all a big nothing burger, just like the whole Mueller witch hunt.
