to call that meeting "attempted collusion" is a spin. the woman publicly stated she was not of the russian government.
this is a statement from DTJ on twitter to initial reactions. which was obviously reviewed by the mueller team. that team did not not charge him with perjury or obstruction. so we can assume the statements are not false.
it also includes the email chain in question leading to this.

accepting dirt from non-government officials though, is something every runner for nearly every position would be guilty of.
you're using hindsight. that's a common mistake with legal matters. at the time it was pretty obvious that Don Jr had a meeting, in Trump tower no less, with a potential agent of the Russian govt. None of the leftists who were being hyperbolic at the time, afaik, knew it was "fake news".
for it to be a witch hunt they'd have had to know it was fake, which would be silly to suggest. politics is a dirty ass game, but if that's Trump's defense, then he's not something new he's just a shitty copy of what we already had. and should be investigated if something stinks.
keep in mind i've held the entire time that Trump didn't collude and that the investigation is a waste of time and money. but i got there using logic, not facts. witch hunt involves facts, in foresight, not hindsight.
