Thanks Rick.
@marty_lederman also asked me to clarify the post to indicate civil enforcement potential, and I've done so. -
I've updated my post to indicate you updated your post after comments from Marty and me (don't you need to indicate your post is updated?)
-
Acknowledged the updating in the comments section but will add to the post itself!

ignorantia legis neminem excusat, ignorantia iuris nocet, especially true when you have at least 2 lawyers in the room

SCOTUS affirmed Bluman v FEC wherein mens rea PR: U.S. v Moore, 612 F.3d 698, 702-04 (D.C. Cir. 2010); Staples v U.S., 511 U.S. 600 (1994).
-
SCOTUS affirmed Bluman without published opinion, and statements on mens rea seem like dicta.
-
Agreed. However interesting for arguments sake.

Yet the Q remains: Based on what's been reported so far – How would gov't show DTJr was soliciting a "donation"? 1/
-
Afaik, no press reports that they were expecting to pay RU lawyer a fee for the dirt/info. But isn't burden on gov't to prove "donation"? 2/
