Then you have to appreciate the irony. Initially, the meeting was set to provide information about illegal contributions. I wish they had informed authorities on this, because a couple weeks after the meeting, the Clinton/Jarrett tarmac pow wow took place. The implications would have shut this down long ago.
It gets even better. The Russian attorney that Trump Jr. met with represented the Katsyv family. The patriarch of the family is a former Russian politician whose son owns a real estate company named Prevezon. The DOJ was investigating Prevezon for money laundering in NYC. Russian money was being laundered via purchase of high priced real estate in Manhattan. In May, just two days before trial the case was suddenly settled. What's more interesting is the connection between the Trumps, the Russian attorney and Prevezon. The Russian attorney was representing Prevezon and has a history of being the legal representation for Russian mob families.
This was a $230 million fraud case that the DOJ settled for less than $6 million. Jeff Sessions has recently been questioned about this case and we are awaiting answers.
There is more to all of this. Tons more. In fact we are finding out that Trump has not been truthful about the extent of his business dealings in Russia, specifically involving real estate. Trump Jr. had intents of entering some real estate deals in the past with some of these Russian companies and these people's names keep popping up. Remember that Trump's son had said that they DID have business dealings with Russia. To think that Trump Jr. was naive and didn't know who he was dealing with is not proven out when you delve into the relationships between these people. The Trump family all know them and know them well.
The lawyer who was involved in exposing this case died in a Russian prison. It was determined that he was not treated for a serious medical condition and that he had also been tortured. The lawyer representing his family mysteriously "fell out of a window" the day before he was to testify. The so-called "adoption" issues that Trump Jr. is touting actually involve this man who died and in fact, the travel and economic sanctions that the US passed are named after him (Magnitsky Act). The attorney who met with Trump Jr. is heavily involved in anti-Magnitsky act lobbying to have these sanctions removed.
If you want to get more interesting the attorney pressing charges against Prevezon is none other than Preet Bharara. Ring a bell? He was the DA fired by Trump after being told he was keeping his job. He refused to resign.
This stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more that will be coming out and I don't know how much longer people are going to keep being willfully blind. This is why people were warning about Trump and don't trust him. And it's why I always say that Trump will make Hillary look like a girl scout. When you vote the lesser of two evils you will still get evil but with just an "R" after the name instead of a "D". We have gained nothing but have lost much over a charlatan and a fraud.
