'I’ve been waiting for someone to file a charge along these lines,' the lawyer said about a Federal Election Commission complaint involving the president’s son.

First son Donald Trump Jr. “continues to be in serious trouble” regarding his involvement with Russians leading up to the 2016 presidential election, a former Watergate lawyer said after watchdog groups updated their Federal Election Commission complaint against Trump campaign members Tuesday.

“The Special Counsel concluded that the promised ‘documents and information that would incriminate Hillary’ constituted a ‘thing of value,’” the supplement states. “And that Trump Jr.—and potentially Manafort and Kushner—solicited such a contribution from a person known to be a foreign national.” "Soliciting or accepting contributions from foreign nationals is a violation of law and this appears to be one of the more serious ones that I have encountered,” Dorsen said. “I’ve been waiting for someone to file a charge along these lines."

"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 wrote in the report.

He believes he can slip through like his Dad. Unscathed & on to bigger & riskier ways to grift & scam. Living on huge loans built on lies..what a family!

Throw the book at him, please FEC

God, I really hope they nail him on something that lands him in general population of a maximum security prison. How long would he last?

I really hope they go after this no good arrogant son of a liar.

He reminds me of Kendall Roy of SuccessionHBO

He definitely should be in ail.

Mueller obsessives race to get redactions liftedRedacted passages could shed light on who Donald Trump asked to look into WikiLeaks’ plans, or what happened after Donald Trump Jr. rejected a voluntary interview with Mueller. What's odd about the accused having rights DC is like a magnet for idiots I get why (sort of) Stone's lawyers get a peek at the redactions- what I don't get is if he can WHY CAN'T CONGRESS Point is Congress actually has the clearance and right to also. I'm sure Stone has already seen it. Barr = Trump = Stone.

The fight to unveil Mueller’s final mysteriesRedacted passages could shed light on who Donald Trump asked to look into WikiLeaks’ plans, or what happened after Donald Trump Jr. rejected a voluntary interview with Mueller. Redacted passages are there to protect people. The only mystery within is people being protected. But likely will not clear up how you and the rest of the liberal media were either duped or in cahoots with DA RUSSIANS

George Conway slammed Trump as ‘Deranged Donald,’ and a new nickname was bornAt one point on Thursday, the hashtag 'DerangedDonald' was trending in the No. 2 spot on Twitter worldwide. DerangedDonald Nayib será presidente 5 años, independientemente del partido en el que milite; la militancia obligatoria es para llegar, no para quedarse. NADIE puede ser obligado a pertenecer a un partido u otro, o renunciar a uno y unirse a otro.... Nicknames are worthless. That's the unpresidential game that Trump plays. He's a traitor and needs to be impeached. That's what matters.
