with Russian help?"

Don Jr admitted seeking dirt on HRC because truth was even WORSE. What could be worse? THIS:

What if, at the Trump Tower meeting with the Kremlin/Prevezon attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, they were discussing FIXING THE $230 MILLION RUSSIAN MONEY-LAUNDERING CASE AGAINST PREVEZON? In exchange for doing some little favors for DT.

That is, what if Jr. promised that his dad would go easy on Prevezon if he was elected with Russian help?

That would be worse. And there is circumstantial EVIDENCE.

The Crime Family in the WH doesn't do anything unless there's serious money involved.
The emails, the meetings, the denials, the smoke, and the fire all lead to the old family business of money laundering.
Let's hope that this not only cleans out the WH, but deposits the clan into more confining government accomodations.

Sessions is dropping these Congressional letters into the trash can upon receipt.

Will any Republicans in Congress force him to respond?

Magic 8 Ball says Not Likely.
