So, DCUM, place your bets now on tTrump tweet time. I say 6:30 tomorrow am. Needs some time to watch Fox and Friends.
Actually, I wonder...do you think Putin is currently creating some kind of incriminating evidence against Hillary to show that there's some truth to the story?
It doesn't matter. Even if it is proven that HRC did whatever in the library with the candlestick, takinnga meeting with a foreign government Rep to get this info is still a crime. "But HRC was guilty" is not a defense. She could end up with her own legal problems if she did something wrong. But it does not get Uday (I like that, but then who is Jared?) out of this clusterf*ck.
Which crime? Taking for money is prohibited by election laws, but what crime is it to take info?
The crime is soliciting or accepting something of value. The law is not just about actual cash.
There is no indication of solicitation. Even under the broad definition of "solicitation" propounded by the FEC. What was accepted?
I am sure there are plenty of other crimes committed elsewhere, like failing to disclose this meeting in the first place. The prohibition on private diplomacy. Etc. But hearing about proffered information? that apparently never materialized . . . .
At least one expert disagrees with your analysis:

Your expert got ahead of him/herself. In the article the author notes that a "solicitation" means to ask or request. Then they specifically go on to note that the information was offered. Offer and ask are not synonyms.

But the facts have now changed. The Russian lawyer says Trump approached them with the request. So I call and raise you one.
You are raising me anything. The fact that someone wants a position supported doesn't make them a Trumpster. If additional info comes out that Trump (or his minions) solicited it, fine. Prosecute for that too. I simply pointed out that your expert didn't support his own arguments. And, in fact, contradicted them. That's not how you make a case.
What's worse for the Trumps - Don Don's emails establish a prima facie case of conspiracy to violate federal election law. Plus, Russian support is clearly a "thing of value" which the Trumps tacitly accepted. The whole purpose of this meeting was for the Russians to see if Trump was onboard with their plan. The meeting signaled they were and would not report the Russian contact.

Reince was likely at this meeting as well, or listening in.
Doubtful. He would have stopped a meeting like this.
