Show me where collusion in a campaign is against the law.

“Show me where collusion in a campaign is against the law.”

52 U.S. Code § 30121 - Contributions and donations by foreign nationals

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52/30121

It’s prohibited for a person to solicit a thing of value to a campaign from a foreign national.

These emails show that Donald Trump Jnr thought this lawyer was a foreign national with valuable material about the Clinton campaign. His attempting to arrange a meeting with her to obtain this material, that’s solicitation.

It might not have led anywhere, but it doesn’t have to. Just trying to get materials of value from a foreign national still breaks the law.

Junior may actually have got himself in a spot of bother here. Certainly I wouldn’t expect this story to go anywhere soon.
