So it wasn't a great look for Trump's son to be associated with an offer of dirt on Hillary from Russians. He should have used an intermediary like the rest of the swamp. As an example, the infamous pee-pee dossier procured by Democrats and then Republicans was a "thing of value" to undermine Trump's electoral prospects, assembled by a Brit using mostly Russian informants. Did a US person/entity solicit this and did it come from foreign nationals? Not if gets routed via US think tanks and other sanitizers who pass it on with a "US" stamp on it.

My trick shot would be to establish a true US company, not anything like a NGO, perhaps with lots of shares held somewhat more east than NY and Berlin. Give them exclusive rights to sell certain caviar in the west, gather tidy operational profit and quite a bit of lobbying cost loss to reach a minimal but steady taxable profit ;-)

So what is stopping such a company to use own funds or info gathered abroad, therefore outside of most US jurisdiction?
Meeting a russian borne lawyer with a company hat to discuss tower shaped caviar would have been less problematic with the side info of some Clinton bad news...
