Ha ha. You select what you like and interpret how you want it.
And I'm full of crap? Oh please.
You know this is way way more serious than you're pretending. I know your faking it and so do you because it's becoming clearer every day that the Russian narrative is way more than just talk.

Colluding with an agent of a foreign government is a crime.

And these are just the crumbs we know about. Imagine what Mueller and his team have discovered...

'To Catch A Predator' routinely cooks-up all manner of phony stuff to convince some middle aged guy that if he shows-up at such-and-such address he can fool around with an underage kid. The guy shows-up, doesn't do anything, but gets arrested. Why? Because he showed INTENT to commit a crime.
Colluding with an agent of a foreign government is a crime. Donnie Jr. clearly showed he was giddily interested and he showed-up to commit the act. Whether he was setup, duped, or whatever is immaterial. He was ready, willing, and able to collude with an agent of a foreign government. Spin it however you like but that is what happened. He's either incredibly stupid or a biglie security risk.
When the New York Times met with Daniel Ellsberg and received the 'Pentagon Papers' they received classified materials that were taken from the US government illegally.
How many people from the New York Times went to jail for that incident?
How many went to trial for it?
How many were even accused of a crime for that matter?

There are special protections for the press that allow them to report on information they receive even if it was classified as long as they did not solicit or actively participate in the illegal procurement of information and if they inform the proper anchorites that they received said information.
"There's a big difference between the act of stealing or the act of hacking and the act of using it," Dershowitz said. "There's really no difference under the First Amendment between a campaigner using information from somebody who obtained it illegally and a newspaper doing it."
He said that's why The New York Times could safely publish the Pentagon Papers, while the man who copied and leaked the documents, Daniel Ellsburg, faced charges under the Espionage Act.
He acknowledged that Trump Jr. should have handled the situation differently, as this looks "awful politically" for the Trump administration.
