Were there laws broken When Trump Jr. Met the Russian lawyer?

[WaitingFor2020]

Does anyone else wonder if we're seeing McCarthyism reincarnated? This is scary.

Joe McCarthy chased after people whom he said were communists.
It's not against the law in the U.S. to be a communist.
Fast forward to 2016 and you have Lil' Donnie Trump chasing communists to help his daddy get elected.
His daddy has yet to say a negative word about Vladmir Putin but he hasn't hesitated to say terrible things about everybody else.

Here NBC news describes exactly the WORST case regarding Trump Jr.

"There's a strong case that Donald Trump Jr. violated the prohibition on knowingly soliciting a contribution from a foreign national," said Brendan Fischer of Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign finance reform group.

The relevant statute — 52 U.S.C. 30121, 36 U.S.C. 510 — bars foreign nationals from making any "contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value" in connection with any election. It also says no American "shall knowingly solicit, accept or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation" in connection with any election.
Did Donald Trump Jr. break law when he met with Russian lawyer?

Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.

Did Trump Jr. receive "contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value" from the Russians? NO!
What did he receive? Nothing.
The statute also says "shall knowingly solicit, accept or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation"
What did Trump Jr knowingly solicit? Nothing.
What did he accept or receive? Nothing.

That is why this is called a "nothing burger". There is nothing there.
Again... read the statute.
Then again...tell me did Trump Jr. solicit, accept or receive any contribution or donation from the Russians, i.e. was there any juicy dirt on Hillary? NO!
Tell me again... did Trump Knowingly and willfully engage in the activities of getting any contribution or donation" NO!
So where's the beef?

Need to ask Obama and Loretta Lynch!

The Moscow lawyer had been turned down for a visa to enter the U.S. lawfully but then was granted special immigration parole by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch for the limited purpose of helping a company owned by Russian businessman Denis Katsyv, her client, defend itself against a Justice Department asset forfeiture case in federal court in New York City.

During a court hearing in early January 2016 as Veselnitskaya’s permission to stay in the country was about to expire, federal prosecutors described how rare the grant of parole immigration was as Veselnitskaya pleaded for more time to remain in the United States.
