(IMPORTANT) Trump and his allies have been saying for a year that the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting didn't matter because "nothing came of it." That's now proven false: Russia said it would give Trump Jr. Clinton "dirt" on June 9—and it launched "DCLeaks" for *that day* to do so.
2/ Had Donald Trump Jr. contacted the FBI; had he rejected the Kremlin's overture; had he told Goldstone (and then Kremlin agent Emin Agalarov) that the Trump campaign would be highly displeased if the Kremlin released stolen Clinton data—it's not clear DCLeaks would've happened.
3/ DCLeaks may well have happened when and as it did *precisely because* Trump Jr. told Kremlin agents Goldstone and Agalarov "I love it" when they offered the Trump campaign—on behalf of the Kremlin—"Clinton dirt."

I think there's a *very* good chance "I love it" was a *crime*.
4/ Understand this: the Kremlin asked for access to Trump's campaign (as it turned out, to discuss sanctions) in exchange for "Clinton dirt" Trump Jr. knew or should have known was obtained illegally, and Trump Jr. said yes—thereby inducing the publication of the DCLeaks website.
5/ We can no longer, with any confidence, say "nothing came from the June '16 Trump Tower meeting" or that Donald Trump Jr.'s acceptance of that meeting—knowing what he knew at the time he accepted the meeting—wasn't a criminal act that opens him up to federal Conspiracy charges.
6/ It's more important than ever before that we find out what was said during those two Trump Jr.-Agalarov phone calls in the 2 days before the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Trump Jr. lied about both phone calls. Why did he lie? What did Kremlin agent Agalarov tell/promise him?
7/ Today is also a day to remember House Republicans allowed Don Trump Jr. to avoid answering questions he didn't feel like answering before Congress, while *immediately* threatening FBI agent Peter Strzok with *Contempt* for following FBI counsel's guidance on certain questions.
