I don't think that there is anything necessarily wrong in him seeking dirt on the Clintons (legally speaking), even if it is from a foreign source. The optics however, are terrible.
The problem however, that Don Junior faces is that he may well have already told investigators that it was nothing of the sort...though like his father he tends to tell the truth to those that are likely to get him in trouble. If he told prosecutors the truth, he is fine.
For whatever reason, the Trumps really like running their mouths, and sometimes to the detriment of themselves and everyone involved. Thus far, they have been squeaky clean when talking with investigators. Rudy is doing a good job in keeping Trump away from Mueller...Trump will almost certainly get himself into a mess eventually. Unless he just tells Muller the truth all the way through in which case he will likely be fine - legally speaking anyway.
