Now you’re simply piling on more made up shit. What you’re claiming now is contradicted by the FEC definitions I posted earlier. Need I remind you, you started off by ridiculously claiming a contribution had to be monetary?I already showed you contributions do not need to be monetary. Anything of value is a contribution. Soliciting Russia’s service to hack Hillary’s email might very well constitute a crime. We’ll see what Mueller finds when he releases his report.LOLOL”And anything except money is perfectly legal”
Nope, you’re wrong about that too. Just about everyyou’re posting is unadulterated bullshit.
It’s illegal for a campaign to solicit contributions from a foreign national. Campaign contributions are not limited to monetary donations, but extend to anything of value.
Types of contributions
Contributions are the most common source of campaign support.
A contribution is anything of value given, loaned or advanced to influence a federal election. It is important to understand which receipts are considered contributions because:
These is nothing in the list that is remotely like emails.
Emails cost nothing to copy, so there is nothing like a service at all involved.
Revealing a candidate’s personal hacked email is of value to their opposition. That’s self evident as Trump wouldn’t have solicited Russia to hack her unless it was worth something to him.
You don't get it.
Whether or not something is of value to someone is irrelevant.
The ONLY basis for campaign finance laws is that you can try to assure that no one uses secret money to buy up a monopoly on the media.
And PERSONAL value can't do that.
Lots of things have personal value.
But the campaign finance laws can't touch that unless it can be turned into control over the media.
And in fact, there is no evidence Hillary EVER got hacked at all.
It was the DNC that got hacked, but that was BEFORE Trump suggested the Russians look for Hillary's missing emails.
So you don't seem to know at all what is even being discussed?
Wrong.
Yes it DOES have to be something liquid.
Campaign finance laws have no jurisdiction over things like dirty tricks.
They ONLY have jurisdiction over being able to buy up media access.
And after Citizens United, there really is no longer anyway to regulate any campaign contributions.
Any company with foreign assets can mix those into combined company campaign contributions any time it wants, since they no longer have to list the sources.
