Dershowitz argued last night that the Trumps are not in violation of 52 U.S. Code 30121

because the information they sought from the Russians was not the sort of thing intended by "other thing of value" written into that statute. But even if it WAS intended then the statute, itself, is unconstitutional because there can be no restriction on a citizen merely seeking and receiving information.

To which I'd say to Mr. Dershowitz's face "you're not very smart in your old age, are you?"

His theory is laughably full of holes.
