If the definition of "something of value" is so broad under the law that it includes something as simple as information that isn't protected in any way and has no monetary value, then it would be a crime to have a foreigner wish a campaign representative a "Happy Birthday!" ... but only if it brings a smile to that person's face (obviously it has value in THAT case).
All the phony outrage over this is ludicrous.
