Trump Jr. spoke to Congress for three hours Wednesday to discuss answers he gave in an interview to the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017, including those regarding emails leading up to the meeting which promised dirt on Democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump's opponent.

I think this will open a new can of worms for Trump and the democrats will be under further pressure to open up impeachment inquiries which could end up in impeachment proceedings.

Do you consider it treason when Crooked Hillary invited the Brits to interfere with our election?

I don't know if that is true or not, but if it is true then why didn't the republicans do anything about it when they controlled both the house and senate? Could it be that they didn't think that Hillary violated the law?

It's disgusting, but it's not treason, technically.

Why didn’t the Republicans do something about it? Really? When have they shown that they have any guts? Today’s Republicans were neutered tby Obama and he refuses to give them their nuts back.

On what grounds?

Sooooo, are you saying, taking dirt from the Ruskies is a bad thing?

On what grounds?

He violated his oath of office.

I'm not saying that, however it appears that the government is saying that. I'm no expert on the laws, but common sense says you don't take information like that from a sworn enemy of the US. You contact the appropriate agency and inform them of the offer.
