Can anyone explain to me

Mueller won't "rock the boat" and volunteer this info.

We must get him under oath in a public hearing and ask these questions.

I think they lost interest in that meeting when it was discovered the previously unidentified calls after the meeting were not to trump.

To seek aid from hostile foreign powers.

Got it.

He knew.

I'm not buying the "stupid" defense.
And don't you find it odd that a prosecutor offers a defense?

they didn't have the intent to break the law.

I agree those smirking trump kids and Kushner should have been prosecuted, at least for selling out our country's interest for their personal gain.

Unfortunately, too many ignorant white wingers don't care how trump the Racist-in-Chief got elected. Until a significant portion turn against trump, successful Impeachment (with conviction) -- or even indictments against kids -- are unlikely.

... other nation groups into America's elections.

What's bad is Mueller didn't interview them, how did he know !?!??!

This would be the first question I'd ask Mueller when he gets in front of house

Very first.

But will it be asked?

apparently.

Could charges for conspiracy or campaign finance violations be brought? Yes.

Would it be prudent to do so when the Statute for conspiracy requires a tacit agreement and when the campaign finance law requires the receipt of "something of value" when this is very difficult to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt? That is the crux.

And what I believe may have happened is that in this one single area, Mueller decided it would look "too political" and the chances of a conviction were nill, so he didn't go there. Its also possible that some of the data destroyed prevented them from having solid evidence.

Why didn't he spell some of that out instead?

... which I 100% disagree with.

Not only that there was the "attempted campaign finance" violations, I don't know why that was not in the report.

... Hillary?

There's also the "attempt" here ... if they thought it was of value, and Don Jr DID... then there are elements of attempted campaign finance violations.

If that's the case than we cannot prosecute obstructing of justice unless there is an underlying crime. This is what Barr believes.

that they couldn't identify a Federal Statute that was clearly broken.

What about intent?

Also, sting operations use props many times. They have no "provable value" either.

... crazy !!!

Then it goes into intent and something of value.

Like you said, all someone has to do now is say "I didn't know that was illegal and you have no proof I knew" and that persons colluding with another country is legal.

See if you can get your fine doubled.
