Lawyer: Trump Jr. Broke No Laws; Foreign Nationals Can Voluntarily Share Opposition Research

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Is Donald Trump Jr. guilty of conspiracy? Did he cross the line? He’s been accused of committing treason, but that’s nonsense. All this stems from a meeting he had with a Russian attorney set up by the publicist of a Russian pop star, who wanted this rendezvous to occur and it did on June 9, 2016. The meeting occurred in Trump Tower; you can already hear liberals salivating. They have their prize: collusion. Well, yes and no. From the emails released by Donald Trump Jr., it shows at the very minimum that collusion with the Russians was considered. It does not show that this is actual collusion. Also, it warrants more inquiries by Congress, along with the obvious notions about the Russia probe, Trump Jr. was not truthful about the timelines regarding his interactions with the Russians. The meeting was arranged under the pretense that some unsavory information on Hillary Clinton would be divulged. It wasn’t. The sticky wicket here is that the email chain shows the publicist, Rob Goldstone, saying that the material was highly sensitive, collected by the Russians in their effort to help Donald Trump’s campaign.

As Reuters reported, “Collusion in and of itself is not a crime. But if the younger Trump conspired or aided and abetted a criminal action, such as hacking into American computer networks, that could be grounds for criminal charges.” The Washington Post had more on that

Judge Goldsmith Grants Stay to Iraqi Detainees

Anna Timmis / Townhall Tipsheet

Judge Mark Goldsmith of the Eastern District of Michigan has halted the deportation of Iraqi immigrants Tuesday. The courts are reviewing the orders of removal.

Judge Goldsmith first halted the deportation on June 22 while considering whether ordering a stay was within his jurisdiction.The temporary stay was granted first to the 114 detainees, many of them Chaldean, from Detroit before extending nationwide and was to last two weeks.

While the Department of Justice thinks that the case should go to federal immigration courts--not the district court--Goldsmith argues that “extraordinary circumstances” would not allow the Iraqi nationals the right of habeas corpus without the action of the district court.

The case by Judge Goldsmith stated, “This Court concludes that to enforce the Congressional mandate that district courts lack jurisdiction – despite the compelling context of this case – would expose Petitioners to the substantiated risk of death, torture, or other grave persecution before their legal claims can be tested in a court. That would effectively suspend the writ of habeas corpus, which the Constitution prohibits.”

UC Berkeley “Islamophobia” prof Hatem Bazian: The most dangerous professor in America?
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

On Monday the hard-Left Talking Points Memo ran an article entitled : “Poll: Majority Of Republicans Now Say Colleges Are Bad For America.” The Leftist media is chattering this week about this, claiming that it is evidence that Republicans and conservatives are ignorant yahoos who oppose higher education.

Minnesota: Gubernatorial Candidate and City Residents Blast Islam and Sharia Law

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

“We have to have some rules. I don’t care what religion or what background you come from. The rule of law has to prevail and if we don’t have that we’re not going to have a nation anymore.”

That’s right. This is the kind of pushback we have long needed, and need to see much, much more of. These good people will be denounced as “islamophobes,” but they’re right. Why should they, or any people anywhere, silently sit by and do nothing while their communities are overwhelmed with people who have a radically different vision of society, and who all too often come as hostile invaders?
