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.

3. No serious enough to warrant criminal prosecution (this one seems important: presidential race, major foreign adversary meddling)
