That’s what it sounds like though I have a hard time believing that he didn’t know it was wrong to meet with Russians about dirt on Hillary Clinton. I think he’s a crook. Sad!
The Special Counsel concluded that you were too dumb to know that the crime you committed was a crime. Congrats. https://t.co/ITFgMyxHwB

The subtext here is that Mueller concluded Don Jr – who was a senior campaign official – was too dumb to know he was breaking the law.

I would also note that exculpatory ignorance is not a privilege afforded to most criminal suspects. https://t.co/l0HRYNC6NC
Trump Jr "didn't know what he was doing was illegal" so not held accountable.

Crystal Mason didn't know voting while on probation was illegal, sentenced to 5 years in jail. This isn't right. #HoldTrumpJrAccountable pic.twitter.com/DsGVcLqlXP

As with Mueller's "not provable they had criminal intent" assessment of the Trump Tower meeting w Russian agents, the plutocrat president & his family received a benefit of the prosecutorial doubt that would never be extended to a high school dropout who robbed a bodega https://t.co/urfxPbgYrs

Read and RT. Ignorance of the law is not if the FBI warned you that Russians might try to compromise you and you do not report contact to help your father's campaign and you do not report it. Plus, why didn't he know foreign help is 100% prohibited? https://t.co/4Z5VBausu4
