I still want to know why Mueller let Don Jr off the hook for not understanding the law

[eleny]

So when Mueller says that he didn't have enough evidence to point the finger at the President - it goes back to him not pressing Don Jr. about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians. I thought Mueller was a straight arrow and by-the-books kind of person.

Mueller caused the problem of not having enough evidence because it appears he stepped off the judicial rails.

1. P.S. This is a reason for the House to call him to testify in public

He needs to publicly clear up his reasons for treating Don Jr. with kid gloves letting him off the hook.

2. My take . . .

Mueller and his team thought Junior was too stupid and I hear Kushner is a dummy too. Hell, it seems like t-rump and his complete family and cronies ain't too bright.

3. It's ... IN ... the law for campaign finance that not knowning the law in this case is not criminal

... BUT ... there's NO WAY ... Mueller shouldn't have questioned him for confirmation.

Mueller should testify in front of congress, fuck that ... he's not king.

There are other reasons Red Don should have been questioned ...

6. I agree

10. According to Reply #5 in this thread Jr. may well have had an understanding

I'd like to hear Mueller's reasoning. So his public testimony is critical to clear up the matter, imo.

11. Yes, that's why I think Jr should've been called before congress

4. Junior probably pled the Fifth.

His asshole father probably did, as well. Not much Mueller could do if that's the case.

7. Then Mueller should explain this in public testimony

8. THIS !!!!

5. Junior knew it was wrong.

Does anyone else remember during the elections when Trump took his family to the Scottish golf course. There was a report afterwards that Don Jr was soliciting donations from European contributors and he was slapped down for that. That's it, it was just a slap on the wrist he was told no you can't do that.
So f i am remembering correctly Don Jr knew it was illegal to accept any kind of foreign contributions or help for an election.

9. Thanks for that information

I never heard about it. All the more reason for Mueller to testify in public.

12. There are men in prison with IQs lower than Junior's. If they were "smart" enough

to be judged to know better than to commit their crimes, Junior is "smart" enough to be locked up with them.
