There is really nothing of substance there at all.

But, but the intent was there! He didn't know she wasn't a Russian government lawyer! He was going to COLLUUUUUDE with the Russian government to alter the election!!!! Are you blind?????

Did I do it right?

So, what are the absolute undisputed unfiltered-through-the-left-wing-media facts that we know right now? 

1)  All of the US intelligence agencies who have looked into it have testified in open session on Capitol Hill that the Russians were actively trying to influence our election.   That's an undisputed fact: that our intelligence agencies believe this very strongly.  Even Donald Trump has said as much.   There is no one left on the planet who denies that the Russians were trying to influence our election, except the Russians themselves.  

2) We know that in June of 2016, the top officials of the Trump campaign- Trump Jr, Manafort, and Kushner, met with a person who had been described to Trump Jr as an agent of the Russian government, who supposedly had dirt on Hillary Clinton, and he, Trump Jr, was told beforehand that this was part of the Russian government's attempts to get his father elected.  

So now we have two parties that wanted to collude with each other.   The Russians wanted to collude, the Trump campaign wanted to collude.  

So your spin is that they never actually consummated the relationship.  Oooookay.

This is from FOX NEWS:

Trump Jr. Burns GOP Defenders

"For weeks, Republicans have been able to say with increasing conviction that there was not a shred of evidence of any inappropriate contact between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. 
You won’t be hearing that one much anymore.
The best defense on offer now is a claim that it is not illegal, per se, to collude with a hostile foreign power in an American election. That spin is so bad that not even true believers can fully abide it. It may not be illegal, but it is certainly shameful.
Now, like the rest of the country, Republicans in Congress are left to wonder what else is out there – what else is the campaign hiding?"
