Legal experts told ABC News that, based on news reports, it “warrants investigation” into whether Trump, Kushner and Manafort violated any laws.

“This new information provides grist for the mill under the federal election laws,” said Kenneth Gross, a campaign law lawyer with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.

These laws prohibit anyone from “soliciting” or “accepting” any campaign contribution from a foreign national or a foreign government.

“No person shall knowingly solicit, accept, or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation…,” according to 11 CFR 110.20 (g). The contribution can be “anything of value,” and that includes the sharing of negative information about a political opponent.

Election laws also make it unlawful to “provide substantial assistance in the solicitation, making, acceptance, or receipt of a contribution or donation,” according to 11 CFR 110.20 (h).

The same article referenced the Clinton campaign working directly with the Ukrainian government to generate oppo research on Trump, yet we are talking about this?

Bizarre world.

Again, we don't give a shite. Crooked Hillary is not president, mission accomplished. All of the other greatness that President Trump is accomplishing is just icing on the cake
