Obama DoJ Spox, Matt Miller: Trump Jr. Meeting with Russia Lawyer Violates Campaign Finance Law

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "Under campaign finance law, you cannot accept or solicit a thing of value. Usually that’s been thought to include campaign donations. It was an extension of a law that was set up to bar foreign donations. But in other contacts, a thing of value in bribery cases and extortion cases, has been defined not just as money, not just as something like a plane ride or something like that, but it could be other things. Sex has been defined as a thing of value in some cases. So it's potentially something Mueller could look at. This meeting is soliciting a thing of value. Now, would that be by itself something that might bring an indictment? Unclear. But when you look at everything else, it’s potentially something along with all the people who have misled, not told the truth on their statements under oath, it’s one more potential charge that you add to a growing list facing a lot of people connected to the administration."
