Today they tried blaming the Secret Service.
Yes and they pushed back. Trump has insulted and embarrassed yet another agency in the IC. All in an effort to deflect the obvious criminal acts of his dumb as a rock son.
What a sorry human being we have for president. Is this nonsense continue week after week after week?
(I know it was Jr's lawyer who made the statement but no way was it put out there without the approval of the boss.)
That was a questionable move at best
OK, someone help me understand the rules for campaigns here.
An American offers to give a campaign debate questions = totally illegal
A foreigner offers to give a campaign information stolen from the opponent's computers = perfectly acceptable
What if a foreigner offered to give a campaign stolen debate questions?

No one said what Barzile did was illegal.
Donald Trump has said what Donna Brazile did was illegal... although, he is wrong. It was just a violation of ethics.

HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News Media?

And it is against campaign finance laws for a foreign national to directly or indirectly make a "contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation" relating to an election. An advisory opinion from the Federal Election Commission states the "thing of value" does not have to come at an actual cost. Trump Jr.'s willingness to accept the opposition research means that he, under the law, solicited that in-kind donation.
So, Donald Trump's attempt at deflection is not exactly apples to apples anyway.
