>Yes. Especially the word "solicit" that means to ask for or try to obtain. Intent is enough to satisfy this definition. Did Trump JR try to obtain dirt on HRC? Difficult to claim otherwise in view of his reaction to the offer of dirt on HRC from a Russian lawyer: "I love it."

Truthful hyperbole or sales talk... No law requires the "I love it." to follow the same rules of truth a witness has to keep in mind in court or elsewhere.

>My preference is to look at the intent of the law. The intent of that law is to prevent foreign interests or cash corrupting the electoral process to obtain a result of benefit to the foreigner. IMHO Trump JR was naive and silly, because he did not need to meet the lawyer personally to get her dirt. A mistake HRC didn't make when she paid for Russians to tell pee pee stories about Trump.

HRC showed more respect for established ways to circumvent abovementioned intent.
But Trump style seems to encompass a more direct way of Teflonitis ;-)
