    However, this 1990 advisory opinion from the Federal Election Commission is pretty damning for Trump Jr. The opinion was in response to a candidate running for New York’s 22nd Congressional district. He wanted to use poll information paid for by his friend as part of his campaign, and wanted to know if mere information counted as in-kind contribution. The FEC said, yes. The opinion said this:

    If, however, Mr. Hochberg (his friend) imparts poll result information to you or anyone else working for your campaign, including any data or any analysis of the results, or if he uses the poll information to advise your campaign on matters such as campaign strategy or creating media messages, such poll information will constitute an in-kind contribution from Mr. Hochberg to your campaign, and an expenditure in an equal amount by your committee. 11 CFR 106.4(b).

    In other words, mere information can be considered “anything of value” under the law, according to this interpretation.

    This case involved PAID poll information. Free information is covered under first amendment rights.

    It is illegal to solicit the information,which Trump Jr admitted to doing.

  5. If the alleged law breaking was as clear cut as the left would have us believe, Trump Jr. and a few others would have been already served. There is no legal case to build. A political case? Of course. That's all this is and has ever been from the jump. Plenty of 2018 campaign slogans being formed, nothing more, nothing less.

    Asking for non-paid information is not illegal.

    Not necessarily.When other crime families are investigated they have evidence and proof of crimes long before they start making arrest.

    NOT by FOREIGN nationals, try giving privileged information to a foreign spy and see how it's covered under first amendment.
