Trump - or any member of his staff meeting with anyone from the Russian government is not illegal. Lying about it under oath sure is.
However, it's strange that they met with the Russian government and failed to tell anyone about it. It be routine and expected to contact the State Department before and after meeting with anyone from a foreign government. Also, if the Russian government offered information that might have been illegal under federal election laws, that would be illegal.
Then there is the hacking. It seems the Trump Campaign knew the DNC was hacked before the DNC knew. If that is true, and if they failed to report it, that might be a crime. If they had information from the hacking, it might be a crime. If they encouraged the hacking, or asked for specific details, they might have actively been involved in the hacking.
What is really scary here is Jeff Sessions. Sessions was on the Committee on Armed Services and he was secretly meeting with the Russian ambassador. Think about this for a moment - A US Senator on the Committee on Armed Services was having multiple secret meetings with the Russian government. Why would anyone in the Senate or Congress be meeting with the Russian government in secret?
