Legal experts are divided on whether Trump Jr.'s participation in the meeting with the Russian lawyer could lead to criminal liability.

Collusion in and of itself is not a crime. But if the younger Trump conspired or aided and abetted a criminal action, such as hacking into American computer networks, that could be grounds for criminal charges.

Several lawyers also said the meeting could run afoul of federal election laws barring campaigns from accepting gifts or things of value from foreign nationals.

The emails do not at first glance appear to provide evidence of illegal activity.

It's one thing to research on your opposition....it's another to collude with a foreign government and originally deny claims that you were working with them

Where are the four Bigot[emoji]8482[/emoji] supporters on NT, NOT named Hood at?

It's time to confess and admit you were wrong about The Bigot[emoji]8482[/emoji].

Nobody on here will think any less of you if you were to admit your ills right now.

I don’t think opposition research is the issue here.

It’s collusion wth a foreign gov’t which is pretty explicitly spelled out in the email chain.

It's easier to say the news is fake than to admit you voted for a possible criminal or traitor. Da snowflakes are triggered today for sure.

I'm assuming that prior to today everyone was under the impression that campaigns did not take meetings to learn negative information about the opposing candidate.
