DAY 289: Donald Trump Jr did suggest to favor Russia when he asked lawyer for Clinton dirt

According to Bloomberg, Russian lawyer Natalia Vaselnitskaya revealed Donald Trump Jr. did suggest that the US policy towards Russia could change if Trump was elected president during the meeting he had with her to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. But he asked for the dirt on Clinton to be delivered in writing.

A Russian lawyer who met with President Donald Trump’s oldest son last year says he indicated that a law targeting Russia could be re-examined if his father won the election and asked her for written evidence that illegal proceeds went to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, said in a two-and-a-half-hour interview in Moscow that she would tell these and other things to the Senate Judiciary Committee on condition that her answers be made public, something it hasn’t agreed to. She has received scores of questions from the committee, which is investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Veselnitskaya said she’s also ready -- if asked -- to testify to Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Asking for dirt on Clinton and suggesting a change in US policy towards Russia is the type of activity that could get Donald Trump Jr in a lot of trouble. Specially if he offered a possible change in Russian policy as a result.

There's a name for that: Collusion.
