That's not an opinion, incidentally, it's a fact, at least according to
the Mueller Report, finally published earlier this month. However, that dossier makes it plain that federal prosecutors ultimately decided not to press charges against Don Junior, and that decision has become the subject of debate by law professors this week.
Before you get ready to rage-tweet or fury-comment, though, you may find the debate is
disappointingly reasonable since it is
built around how badly written tech law has ended up giving prosecutors too much leeway in deciding when to bring cases and when to let them drop: a situation that everyone should be able to agree is not a great thing.
But before the reasonableness, let's get some digs in. The president's son is such a weapons-grade idiot that this isn't the only time that Mueller decided not to prosecute him for breaking the law because he was too thick to realize that what he was doing was illegal.
The other time is, of course, when he agreed to a meeting in Trump Tower with Russians offering "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Accepting help from a foreign power during an election is a federal crime but Mueller ultimately decided not to prosecute because for Don Junior to be found guilty it would have to be proved that he
knew he was breaking the law.
And, without explicitly saying it, Mueller decided that Trump Jr's inevitable "I don't really know what's going on at any given point in my life" defense was going to be all too believable.
