>>(b)Contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with elections. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.
You're right, for the wrong reason. ;-) That clause makes it illegal for a foreigner to do these things. Not a recipient. It's clause (g) that you want:
(g) Solicitation, acceptance, or receipt of contributions and donations from foreign nationals. No person shall knowingly solicit, accept, or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation prohibited by paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section. Since Trump JR did not accept or receive a thing of value, he had to solicit it for Victor's allegation to hold. And by reference to (b) it can be more than money- dirt on HRC meets the definition. If he solicited it.
Compare with HRC who did all 3- soliciting, accepting and receiving- the pee pee dossier that was used against Trump.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
