Crime: Trump Tower Meeting over Russian Sanctions

Jun 9: Donald Trump, Jr, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with the following Russians: Natalia Veselnitskaya, Rinat Akhmetshin, Ike Kaveladze, and Anatoli Samochornov. Rob Goldstone was also there and he acted as the middle man. The meeting was about lifting sanctions on Russia in exchange for campaign interference. The Trump team and the Russians have told many lies about this meeting. Natalia denied she worked for the Russian government for many months but eventually admitted it.

Verified: Not in dispute. The question is did they collude or only try to collude? If so, is either an impeachable offense? Did Trump know? We know the meeting took place and the Trump campaign at least tried to collude. They were offered dirt on HRC in exchange for relaxing Russian sanctions. We know Russian spies were there. We know Don Jr called a blocked number after the meeting. We know Trump’s phone uses a blocked number. Mueller knows who Don Jr called.
