    God I hate this bot so much. It leaves out important shit all the time. The most important thing of all was left out of this summary, why it’s illegal:

    “There is an interesting US legal question about whether private citizens can attempt to influence US foreign policy by negotiating with foreign countries,” Scheppele told The Independent. “The Logan Act makes this illegal.”

    Specifically, Trump Jr, who does not hold any government office, spoke with Orbán regarding US foreign policy as it relates to Ukraine.

    And still 10 people upvoted it. They came in here after seeing Don Jr. may have broken the law, read a summary that didn’t explain it and upvoted it.

    Fucking shameful.
