Trump Jr. meeting with Russian lawyer may have violated campaign laws
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trum...wyer-violated-campaign-laws/story?id=48557183
Federal laws prohibit anyone from soliciting or accepting any campaign contribution from a foreign national or foreign government.
"No person shall knowingly solicit, accept or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation," reads Title 11 in the Code of Federal Regulations, section 110.20 (g). A contribution can be "anything of value," including negative information about a political opponent.

no campaign laws broken,no collusion to break them, no treason, no nothing.

Personally, I believe that going with the argument that being Putin's bitch is not technically illegal is something less than a winner. 'Course, I don't possess the Deplorable ability to unhinge my jaws when necessary in order to swallow something hugely stupid.

He was the true conscience on foreign wars and US shenanigans while in Office.
He still is 100% honest and straight shooting..
Dennis Kucinich: I'm no fan of Trump's but he's got a point about wiretapping
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017...umps-but-hes-got-point-about-wiretapping.html
...At the time I was leading efforts in the House to challenge the Obama administration’s war against Libya. The Qaddafi government reached out to me because its appeals to the White House and the State Department to forestall the escalating aggression had gone unanswered.
Before taking the call, I checked with the House’s general counsel to ensure that such a discussion by a member of Congress with a foreign power was permitted by law.
I was assured that under the Constitution a lawmaker had a fundamental duty to ask questions and gather information—activity expressly protected by the Article I clauses covering separation of powers and congressional speech and debate. I could and did ask questions of the younger Mr. Qaddafi.
On the Libyan end, the risk of the conversation was that whatever phone was used to call my office might serve as a homing beacon for a drone strike.
Somehow, the Washington Times had gotten its hands on the surreptitious recording. I authenticated the conversation, and parts of it were published by the newspaper, which provided online links where readers could listen to me talking with Mr. Qaddafi.
The reporters did not say, nor did I ask, who had made the tape. But the paper’s stories referenced “secret audio recordings recovered from Tripoli.”
I have only my suspicions about their true provenance. The quality of the recordings was excellent on both ends of the call.
If sources had indeed discovered the tapes in Tripoli, there is no plausible explanation for how they would have chosen the Washington Times to carry the story. And which foreign intelligence service conceivably could have been interested in my phone call, had the technology to intercept it, and then wanted to leak it to the newspaper?
There’s a simpler explanation: I believe the tape was made by an American intelligence agency and then leaked to the Times for political reasons. If so, this episode represented a gross violation of the separation of powers.
Shortly after the Times story was published, I alerted congressional leaders to the breach and then let the matter rest, assuming that a series of routine Freedom of Information Act requests I had made in 2012 before leaving office would provide answers.

Payment in kind, pallyboy. Opposition research is invaluable in elections.
Keep trying, though.
Yep. Campaign law clearly broken. Willingly. Anxiously. Donnyboy.
Kushner? Probably worse.

I never thought Kucinich would make a good president .. this is validation of that.
In case he hasn't noticed, democrats have Trump on the ropes with this investigation. He can't get anything done. Not only that, cracks are appearing in his support from once staunch supporters, and other supporters .. like you .. are crying and whining about the investigation every single day.
New revelations are popping up almost daily, and Kucinich has no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Thanks Dennis .. thanks for your service .. but no thanks. This investigation can and will continue.
new revelations to nowhere..how many people in a room?
"what difference at this point does it make" (Hillary)..
Kucinich is of value because he urges the Dems to get a positive message - how's that for a radical idea?
Plus he was prescient on Libya/Sria etc.
He's got bona fides that makes him worth listening to

Kucinich is just another partisan GOP gizz guzzling hack.
His words aren't worth the hot air that's behind them.

. We all had that same question from the republican convention to November 8, didn't we?
. Can't speak for sailor but I wouldn't mind seeing the dem party viable.
Believe it or not Trump and McConnell suggesting working with dems on healthcare is the dems' best route to getting out of the ideological abyss they're in.

Then you listen to him .. democrats won't on this.
Trump's agenda has been halted, republicans are getting real uneasy about trying to defend him every day .. tired of his antics .. and if you had any confidence that nothing was done wrong, you wouldn't be here whining about this everyday. But you don't. Like Dennis, you have no clue how deep this goes.
This investigation will continue until it's done. Get used to it.

‘Lie after lie after lie’: Fox News’s Shepard Smith has a Cronkite moment on Russia
Shepard Smith is no stranger to challenging the administration and occasionally launching into personal editorials — including one about refugees back in 2015. But on Friday afternoon, he took it a step further, repeatedly accusing the administration of lying, deception and a coverup.
After reporting that there appeared to be more people in that meeting with Russian lawyer than previously acknowledged, Smith had either a Howard Beale or a Walter Cronkite moment, depending on your perspective, and he lit into the White House.
We’re still not clean on this, Chris [Wallace]. If there’s nothing there — and that’s what they tell us, they tell us there’s nothing to this and nothing came of it, there’s a nothingburger, it wasn’t even memorable, didn’t write it down, didn’t tell you about it, because it wasn’t anything so I didn’t even remember it — with a Russian interpreter in the room at Trump Tower? If all of that, why all these lies? Why is it lie after lie after lie? If you clean, come on clean, you know? My grandmother used to say when first we practice to — Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. The deception, Chris, is mind-boggling. And there are still people who are out there who believe we’re making it up. And one day they’re gonna realize we’re not and look around and go, Where are we, and why are we getting told all these lies?

It's collusion.
Period.
The idea that the only defenses of Jr. now are "he didn't really end up w/ anything of value" and "most would have taken the meeting" is pretty indicative of where we're at w/ this one now.
