One often-used definition of “willful” intent states that it
“requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knew his or
her conduct was unlawful and intended to do something that the law
forbids; that the defendant acted with a purpose to disobey or disregard
the law.”
In essence, in order to be charged with conspiring to cheat, you have
to have been actually meaning to cheat. That’s the law. Without intent,
there is no crime. And Mueller’s team, even his hand-picked Democrat
attack dog Andrew Weissmann, knew they didn’t have evidence to convince a
jury that Don Jr. meant to circumvent election laws when he typed “I
love it” in response to a tangentially-related British publicist’s
suggestion the Russian government might have “information that would
incriminate Hillary.” Don Jr. even voluntarily released his email
correspondence related to that meeting.
But even if there were the requisite intent, the Mueller report still
exonerates Don Jr., stating that “the government would likely encounter
difficulty proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the value of the
promised information exceeded the threshold for a criminal violation.”
Did you catch that?
Joe diGenova is the real deal...
