Big Trump Jr. questions for me are: 1. Would courts read provision of dirt as "thing of value?" 2. Does it justify *criminal* prosecution?

The solicitation case against Trump Jr. is no slam dunk from what we know. But more than enough for special counsel to investigate.

Worth pointing out: hard *political* case to make: Yes Trump. Jr. solicited help from Russian government to hurt Hillary, but valueless.

And I should say I'm not someone who's been yelling "treason" or saying lots of other smoke showed a crime. This one seems serious.

You assume this is all there is. Mueller might be sitting on a mountain of other intel.

From what I've heard so far, no. Everyone is ready to prosecute simply because he 'eagerly wanted' this information.

Much more complex than that.

I've actually learned it's not just receiving but soliciting it so it does sound sketchy. I doubt this will affect Prez unless they can...

Prove the president had anything to do with Jr.'s solicitation
