Instead, she repeatedly tried to pivot the conversation to the fact that Trump officials have since amended their security clearance application forms “to reflect other meetings, including this one.”

Conway’s fallback position was that Trump Jr. may have met with the Russian lawyer expected to receive damaging information about Clinton, but “the point is she didn’t have it.”
Of course the Russian lawyer didn’t have it — it didn’t and doesn’t exist. But that’s not the point. The point here is that Junior went looking for damaging information. And set up this meeting specifically to obtain damaging information on Clinton that this lawyer had promised him. That’s collusion with the Russians to influence the election. Whether Junior got the information or not.
