As Judge Napolitano knows, the FEC has in the past considered some kinds of information provided to a campaign to be a "thing of value."

I'd be curious to see any references you can post on that one.

As for the other issue, it is Jared who would be violating the law by not reporting the contact, since he applied for and was granted a security clearance.

Right -- but as I said in an earlier post on this thread, there may be a legitimate reason for this that the Judge didn't mention when he offered his take on two possible reasons why this meeting wasn't reported.
