Desperately trying to defend the indefensible, I bet you didn't realize you had so much in common with how you perceive your "enemy".
I have given you the definition, you simply apply a crowbar, try to make the square block fit in the round hole and hope everybody is too stupid to realize that your definition is different than the actual law. I've given you links to the definition and your only response is to repeat without even refining. The reality is, your wish doesn't make reality, and your assumption that it is somehow a contribution to hear words is beyond stupid.
You haven't defined shit, pal. You gave the FEC definition of contribution. Here are the definitions from 11 CFR 110.2 and 11 CFR 300.2. Reference "donation, moron.
11 CFR 300.2
(e)
Donation. For purposes of part 300, donation means a payment, gift, subscription, loan, advance, deposit, or
anything of value given to a person, but does not include contributions.”
(m)To solicit. For the purposes of part 300, to solicit means to ask, request, or recommend, explicitly or implicitly, that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds, or
otherwise provide anything of value. A solicitation is an oral or written communication that, construed as reasonably understood in the context in which it is made, contains a clear message asking, requesting, or recommending that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds,
or otherwise provide anything of value. A solicitation may be made directly or indirectly. The context includes the conduct of persons involved in the communication. A solicitation does not include mere statements of political support or mere guidance as to the applicability of a particular law or regulation.
11CFR 110.2
(b)Contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with elections. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a
donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.
(g)Solicitation, acceptance, or receipt of contributions and donations from foreign nationals. No person shall knowingly solicit, accept, or receive from a foreign national any contribution or
donation prohibited by paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section.
Like it or not, dumbfuck, Trump solicited something of value on national TV the other night.
Like it or not, dumbfuck, by inviting the Russians to Trump Tower for dirt on Hillary, he solicited something of value.
