Wow. Looks like the Clinton Foundation , the Clinton Global Initiative and those bribes that were thinly veiled as exorbitant speaking fees broke the law.
The Foreign National Prohibition
The United States’ foreign national prohibition is comprehensive.[7] The penalties for violating the foreign national prohibition are both criminal and civil.[8] The FECA-BCRA specifies the items a foreign national cannot give, to whom such items cannot be given, and the purpose for which a prohibited item cannot be given. Also, the FECA-BCRA mandates that a prohibited item cannot be given either directly or indirectly, nor can a foreign national promise either expressly or impliedly to give a prohibited item. Even if the purpose of the foreign national in giving the prohibited item is somehow not to influence the political process, it is still a violation merely because the item comes from a foreign national.
In Connection With Federal, State, or Local Election
Under the FECA-BCRA, a foreign national cannot give any of the following prohibited items in connection with a federal, state, or local election:
A contribution,
A donation of money, or
Other thing of value.[9]
Under these same regulations, a foreign national cannot give any of the following prohibited items in connection with a federal, state, or local election:
Expenditure,
Independent expenditure, or
Disbursement.[10]
Contribution Defined
The term contribution means anything of value that is given by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for federal office, or the payment of compensation to any person who renders personal services to a political committee without being compensated for those services by the political committee.[11] The FECA-BCRA does not further define the term anything of value, but provides descriptions of items that constitute contributions. Additionally, items that are contributions are not only set forth in the FECA-BCRA and the regulations, but also in Advisory Opinions (AOs) issued by the FEC and case law. Whether an item is a contribution is analyzed as follows:
Is the item a “thing of value”?
If so, is it an item that is described as a contribution under the FECA-BCRA and its regulations, the AOs issued by the FEC, or case law?
If not, is the item sufficiently similar to any item described as a contribution that the item should be deemed a contribution as well?
Items That Are Contributions. The most common form of contribution is a gift of cash to or for the use of the campaign. An in-kind contribution is deemed to be a “thing of value.”[12] An in-kind contribution is any good or service that is made available to the campaign for which the campaign pays nothing, or pays less than the commercial or normal price of the good or service otherwise payable at the time of the contribution and which is not excluded from the term contribution by the FECA-BCRA.[13] Where the campaign pays less than the commercial or normal price, the difference between the price actually paid and the commercial or normal price is the dollar value of the contribution.
Contributed Expenditure. A contributed expenditure is a purchase paid to a vendor for or on behalf of the campaign from the assets or accounts of a person other than the candidate or his or her campaign. It is usually but not always an in-kind contribution, and it is treated in the same manner as a contribution directly to the campaign.
Items That Are Not Contributions. The FECA-BCRA excludes certain items of value from the meaning of contribution. Although such items are “things of value,” they are not contributions. These items are, inter alia:
Dollar value of volunteer services rendered by any individual to or on behalf of a candidate or a political committee;
Dollar value of the regular use of personal property as well as the cost of food, beverages, and invitations within certain dollar limits;
The sale of food or beverages by a vendor for use in connection with the campaign at less than commercial rates, as long as the dollar amount of the sale is equal to the cost to the vendor of the food or beverage;
A loan from a financial institution made in the ordinary course of business, or a loan received as an advance on a personal asset of the candidate such as a home equity line of credit or credit cards obtained in the ordinary course of business;
An honorarium received by the candidate for being the featured speaker at a political party fundraising event;
Certain payments made by a local committee of a state or national party;[14] and
Dollar amounts made to or on behalf of the campaign by the candidate from his or own personal funds.[15]
Donation of Money. The term donation means a payment, gift, subscription, loan, advance, deposit, or anything of value given to a person, but not any item that is a contribution.[16]
Anything of Value. The term anything of value is not defined in the FECA-BRCA or the regulations. It should be construed according to its common meaning and consistent with the purpose of the FECA-BRCA.
Independent Expenditures and Disbursements
Independent Expenditure. An independent expenditure is a kind of expenditure that is neither a contributed expenditure nor an operating expenditure. An independent expenditure is made by a person who is not in or part of the campaign that expressly advocates the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate, and which is made without the cooperation, request, or assistance of the candidate or his or her campaign.[17] A purported independent expenditure which fails to satisfy the foregoing definition will be considered a coordinated communication and treated as a contribution from the person making the expenditure.[18]
Disbursement. A disbursement is any purchase or payment made by a political committee or by any other person, including an organization, that is not a political committee but is subject to the FECA-BCRA.[19]

Former Vice President
I think this is finally it Brother Jarod. We finally have President Trump where we want him. He will be impeached next week and Hillary will be installed in her rightful place as President as you always wanted.
Good work

I think this is the CODE (the one in my sig) I'm pretty sure the federal prosecutors are citing...
18 U.S. Code § 371 - Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud ...

If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or ...
They are tired of truth.
That is silly.
THat is the statute that makes attending that meeting a criminal conspiracy.
Hacked e-mails on your opponent would be an "other thing of value".
Meeting with Russians to get them to give something of value to your campaign is a crime.
How can they deny that?
Junior will be indicted and if they can prove Rump himself knew about it he will go down.
Funny to watch Rump throw his son under the bus this morning.

Well, Uday is his least favorite son.
again .no. The FECA-BCRA mandates are all about items,and if you look at my post #5 those are always funds/tangibles
The Statute says anything of value.... I'll go with the statute.
if you looked at that as a lawyer, you would see the definition given to you there of items of value..all tangible assets
Sorry, a brief look at the code shows you are incorrect.

Telling that you did not cite the code directly.
