Show me where collusion in a campaign is against the law.
Pearls??? Where are my pearls??? I think I have the vapours...
“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.
