Accepting ur 1A arg, how do we know DTJr was looking for a
#donation of this information (vs the lawyer offering to provide it for a fee)?
-
Don't think we know that for sure; only seen a few folks claim that there is a crim violation based on email record alone
-
Mea culpa, I'd joined every1 in assuming it wld be for free, but in retrospect that seems off. We don't know one way or other…

… but if there were a prosecution, that would be an element to be proven: That they were soliciting the
#donation of information. -
Yes. they have to prove all the elements of the crime; email record sufficient I think to open investigation
