If a foreign national donates opposition research to campaign it is an in kind contribution violating 52 USC 30121 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52/30121 … https://twitter.com/Jason_Redacted/status/884867307125833728 …
Similarly, it is a crime for any person to solicit a foreign contribution of opposition research to a campaign under same statute
And working with foreign entity to contribute opposition research violates rules against coordinated contributions. Also possible conspiracy
Other than that, there could be obstruction charges based upon hiding this from investigators after the fact. But that's beyond my area.
Possible defenses 1. No knowledge of foreign source (hard w emails) 2. Oppo research is not a thing of value (I disagree, based on FEC opns)
3. No serious enough to warrant criminal prosecution (this one seems important: presidential race, major foreign adversary meddling)
Wrong again. See 11 CFR 100.74. If you're a lawyer, you are incompetent:http://lawnewz.com/opinion/why-donald-trump-jr-is-innocent-period/ …
11 CFR 100.74 says that uncompensated SERVICES of a volunteer are not contributions. But there are several other sections that are important
"Personal services" are contributions unless paid for (11 CFR 100.54), or "legal & accounting services provided under" 11 CFR 100.74 & .75
Exactly. Therefore, it's completely legal for Don Jr to accept volunteer oppo research, though in fact he didn't.
You're intentionally ignoring the point. The "package" has a value separate from the delivery. Plus, regulation can't trump statute.
Statute prohibits receipt of thing of value from foreign national. A "volunteer" foreign national doesn't circumvent statutory prohibition.
You obviously did not read this: http://lawnewz.com/opinion/why-donald-trump-jr-is-innocent-period/ … The thing of value has to be money or paid media. Information is not money.
On its face the statute doesn't contemplate information. If it did the foreign source "pissing hookers" story is illegal.
Sigh: So you're saying that Hillary is guilty then?

Like Hillary and her campaign? Is leaked debate info and accepting pay-to-play as S.O.S. legal?
Like Hillary did with the Ukrainian government?
if someone pays a foreign national for, say, oppo research, that's ok, thought, because it's not a donation?
If Trump team wants to frame the Russian request as a sales pitch of legit campaign product or service, what must they show/prove?
