“It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election”

I doubt that that is in alignment with the law. How do you know something has value until you’ve heard it. How do you know sometimes even after you’ve heard it.

The DNC and Clinton campaign paid money for it, it seems they thought it had value.

I think it’s receipt of $2500 in value for a misdemeanor, and $20000 for a felony. So, by making a positive statement, letter, or photo-op, a foreign power can induce a crime? Of course none of that has ever constituted a particular value.

You’ll note that Mueller described the evidence, and made no claim it violated the law, nor even referred it to the FEC for a campaign finance investigation.
