It doesn't matter if you don't see a crime.. The FBI will see it as a crime, because it was.

I'll try to explain it assuming your being honest..


Russia was attempting to interfere with our democratic election process. They hacked the DNC & the RNC and who knows what else.

Now here comes Don Jr attempting to take info from the Russians for the sole purpose of affecting the outcome of the election. That is conspiring to commit election fraud. Just because they didn't get the info they wanted doesn't mean it's no big deal..

You steal someone's wallet only to find out there was no money still makes you a crook.


Don Jr, Kushner and Manafoprt all attempted to conspire with a foreign actor for the purpose of uncovering a suspected crime which would then have effect on the out come of the election.

They were required to pass this info to the FBI, not attempt to acquire it for personal/campaign gain.. Added to this Kushner went on to lie about this meeting on his security clearance form. This is a very big crime in and of it's self.. People have their security clearances revoked for simple shit as putting the wrong amount of debt on it. Yet here we have Kushner lying about meeting with a foreign agent trying to pass info on a political candidate to affect our election. That is a serious crime..

Also with out a fucking doubt this woman was a foreign agent. She was former Russian lawyer at the Kremlin or what ever her position was but she was claiming to be "brokering" info about criminal activity of a political candidate that was coming directly from the Kremlin and she was trying to get something in return. She was trying to affect official US govt policy.. She probably wasn't KGB or what ever the Russians call it but she was acting on behalf of the Russian govt..

Also I wanted to add.. you can't look at this meeting as a isolated event. It shows a pattern of willingness to collude with foreign agents and now add this on top of all the other issues Trump's campaign has sounding them with Russian involvement.

Before we saw there were players involved who had suspicious Russian contacts and almost all of them lied and tried to cover it up. Now we see them actually meeting and attempting to gain info which they were told was coming directly from the Kremlin. This is extremely damning information..

It's a very BIG SOMETHING Burger.. Fox News and Joushamo can claim all day it's nothing but they don't matter.. the FBI & the Special Counsel matter and this will matter greatly to them..


Also on the Kushner front we learned in the last day or two that he attempted to get a 500 million dollar load from Qatar. They wouldn't give it to him and now he was sitting on the presidents ear telling him to take a hard line against them and side with Saudi Arabia..

This is a major scandal in and of it's self but it was over shadowed by Trump Jr's dumbness..

This current admin and the people in it are dirty as fuck and they don't give a rats ass about making America great again. They want to enrich themselves..
