RE: Trump Jr Beats Fake News Media To The Punch With Email Release
Imagine it wasn't money, but a stolen car paid gifted by a foreign government.
The car has value and accepting this from a foreign government with the aim to influence the election is illegal. Accepting stolen goods is illegal.
It goes the same with information. Information is valuable, this particular information would be called "opposition research". Campaigns pay for this research, so when a foreign government does it for you and offers it to you, this is a contribution/donation/gift.
Additionally, Trump Jr. said they talked about adoptions and it was a waste of time. She was offering Jr. a deal and he's downplaying it.
Adoptions are a reference to the ban on Americans adopting Russian children. This ban was instituted in retaliation for sanctions imposed on Russia for violating human rights (Magnitsky Act - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky_Act).
She's offering the "opposition research" in exchange for a political favor from Trump in opposing Russian sanctions.

You are stretching it a lot to prove your point. Before I quoted an election lawyer who has a different opinion than you. Since then, more have come to say the same. Sorry an election lawyer has much better credentials than you. The courts will speak and nothing will happen. Once again, all you have is a nothing burger.
