According to Trump Administration spokespeople, the Don Jr meeting with the Russian lawyer is a big "nothing burger". But there are a lot of questions about the "burger" that are still unanswered. There are legal issues that will be defined by the Mueller investigation, in the final analysis.
Who was the "acquaintance" that requested Don Jr meet with the Russian lawyer? Was he/she a Russian also? We do not have that answer yet?
Also, Don Jr wanted everyone to know that his father knew nothing about the meeting in Trump Tower? Is that believable? The President is a person that knows all the details about everything that is happening around him. Nobody does anything without telling him about it. Did Donald Trump know about this meeting?
Also, was this meeting really about "nothing"? Or was it about Wikileaks emails? Or some other "dirty" information on the Clinton campaign? Or should we believe the Trump campaign when they say the meeting was about "nothing"? There are several questions about this issue that remain to be answered. Obviously, it is going to drip, drip, drip, as it has for the last several months.
There are more questions to be answered with this bombshell. Whether or not there was collusion will be answered by Robert Mueller.

Don't tell me; let me guess: Their favorite was Veronica.
Meanwhile, in the real grownup world, Manafort had that Trump, Jr. meeting with the Russian lawyer on the same day that he (Manafort) met with Trump. But Trump didn't know about the Russian lawyer? Nothing urger, my ass.
