'I’ve been waiting for someone to file a charge along these lines,' the lawyer said about a Federal Election Commission complaint involving the president’s son.

First son Donald Trump Jr. “continues to be in serious trouble” regarding his involvement with Russians leading up to the 2016 presidential election, a former Watergate lawyer said after watchdog groups updated their Federal Election Commission complaint against Trump campaign members Tuesday.

“The Special Counsel concluded that the promised ‘documents and information that would incriminate Hillary’ constituted a ‘thing of value,’” the supplement states. “And that Trump Jr.—and potentially Manafort and Kushner—solicited such a contribution from a person known to be a foreign national.” "Soliciting or accepting contributions from foreign nationals is a violation of law and this appears to be one of the more serious ones that I have encountered,” Dorsen said. “I’ve been waiting for someone to file a charge along these lines."

"The investigation has not developed evidence that the participants in the meeting were familiar with the foreign-contribution ban or the application of federal law to the relevant factual context," Mueller wrote in the report.

He believes he can slip through like his Dad. Unscathed & on to bigger & riskier ways to grift & scam. Living on huge loans built on lies..what a family!

Throw the book at him, please FEC

God, I really hope they nail him on something that lands him in general population of a maximum security prison. How long would he last?

I really hope they go after this no good arrogant son of a liar.

He reminds me of Kendall Roy of SuccessionHBO
