Actually Hillary did worse, she sent campaign operatives on to FOREIGN SOIL when they met inside the Ukrainian Embassy.
Allegedly a FISA warrant was denied in June 2016 and sometime later, late October/early November, a warrant was issued.
More like Donald Jr being punk'd by someone who may or may not be connected to the Russians.
I think it was the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, DC.

Since Rob is a foreign national (in the UK), this might be facilitated via the Hague Service Convention or Hague Evidence Convention.

This will be turned into the magic bullet. We have in print the offer of Russian government information to influence the election.
Steel is tied to Fusion GPS. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/25/christopher-steele-admits-dossier-charge-unverifie/
Goldstone may also be tied to Fusion GPS.
“We have learned from both our own investigation and public reports that the participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for,” said Mark Corallo, a spokesman for President Trump’s legal team. “Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the President and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier. ""These developments raise serious issues as to exactly who authorized and participated in any effort by Russian nationals to influence our election in any manner,” Corallo said.
> We have in print the offer of Russian government information to influence the election.
To the contrary, we have in print the offer of “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia”. In other words, Hillary’s collusion with Russia.
But it’s moot since no documentation was supplied. It was a lure to get the meeting. Goldstone dangled the lure. Goldstone is tied to Fusion GPS - which has been paid by the Democrats.
Fusion created the ‘golden showers’ dossier. They look to be behind this as well.
Meanwhile,
Saudi Arabia funded 20% of Hillary campign but someone sent Donald Trump Jr an email one time!

It was bait for a meeting. Nothing of value was given.
There’s a gray area here for me - foreign countries can’t give money, but information? Is that illegal?
Hillary got info from Ukraine. She met with China (see Wikileaks post today). She took money from Saudi Arabia.
Obama set up an online donation system that didn’t exclude foreign donations when he ran.
Of course, we have to play by a different set of rules.
My guess is this is just serious smoke, but won’t go further. Problem is there have been half a dozen “THIS IS IT!!” moments before this from the MSM and Dems. They’ve cried Russian wolf so much I doubt this will get traction with the public.
Goldstone used the lure of incriminating information to bring DT Jr to a meeting with a unnamed Russian attorney. The attorney arrived and wanted to discuss the Magnitsky Act.
The left will claim this is a smoking-gun that shows Trump’s team was indeed looking to work with the Russian’s and Russia wanted Trump to win.
It actually shows the opposite, as nothing came from the meeting. All we have are claims by some “Rob” guy that didn’t materialize, so it actually proves that Trump’s team had no collusion with the Russian’s.
It does imply this was being setup a long time ago.
Brilliant! Zer0 had the apparatus of the NSA’s surveillance of all electronic communications at his command. He was going to use it for blackmail to intimidate the Trump campaign, starting with the collusion lie.
It doesn't matter. All the MSM needs to do is trumpet 24 x 7 that DJT Jr. met with a Russian Government official in order to get incriminating documents on Hillary because the Russians wanted to support Trump Sr.
The low info voters and the usual Lefty idiots will use that sort of nothingburger to continue screaming about Trump. "Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!!!"
>Of course, we have to play by a different set of rules
No. Not any more. That’s the MSM game, where they decide the story and the rules and who wins and then the GOP plays to see how noble they can look losing.
The new game is where we tell the truth straight to the people while the MSM looks like a bunch of 6-year-olds playing 1970s-era electric football compared to a Super Bowl team.

Sean Hannity was reading the emails on the radio today. Boy was he boring.....
Drone voice reading about nothing. He needs to learn to do a summary and say look at my website to see the emails.
Hannity repeats himself as well. Half his show is something he said the day before. 10% of it is taken up with canned recordings for background.
But he did back Trump.
