Getting campaign help from a foreign government is indeed illegal.
"The Act and Commission regulations include a broad prohibition on foreign national activity in connection with elections in the United States. 52 U.S.C. § 30121 and generally, 11 CFR 110.20."
"foreign nationals are prohibited from the following activities:
"Making any contribution or donation of money or other thing of value," (such as opposition research)
...
"Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to an FEC enforcement action, criminal prosecution, or both."
...
"The Act prohibits knowingly soliciting, accepting or receiving contributions or donations from foreign nationals."
Your own link disagrees with you! It says knowingly receiving FUNDS is illegal.
Hey - Ad hominem attacks are all they have left to hang onto. Sad.

Polishing up that mirror I see?

Let me break it down for you and anyone else who either doesn't understand or is disheartened by the opposition's inability to diminish Trump's base of support:
In 2000 the GOP nominated a milquetoast who sat there and quietly endured relentless character assassination. In 2008 they nominated another milquetoast who sat there and quietly endured relentless character assassination. In 2012 they nominated the most milquetoast human being ever to run for the Presidency who sat there and quietly endured relentless character assassination. So it's a little rich to hear the opposition act surprised and disheartened that in 2016 the GOP voters nominated someone who not only has no character to assassinate, but punches back with the same ferocity he gets punched at.
I can't decide which is funnier: the left's mock outrage over the supposedly sudden incivility of our political discourse -- as if a Trump presidency was the cause of it rather than the effect -- or their sheer inability to cope with finally being faced with an opponent who dishes it right back.
Maybe on Staten Island. The rest of NYC hates Trump and has for decades and will have no problem accepting the reality that is becoming clearer and clearer by the day
That's just not true. Stop lying to yourself. People in NYC need to get out and vote the voter turn out the past few elections have been at record lows. Trump would do better in NYC and NYS if the Republicans came out and voted.
Most likely this will blow up Trump Tower and the whole Trump family with it. Cohen knows what really happened, and anyone who thinks otherwise after knowing what he did working for Trump is a complete idiot.
A friend of mine used to say all the time it's not what you know. It's what you can prove.

Trump was never, at any time, under oath with any question that had been asked of him during his campaign or his presidency.

All you're doing is proving that it was hillary and the dnc who broke the law by using a foreigner, steele, to get info from the Russians.
.
When did Trump team "solicit" anything from that Russian lawyer? They didn't, it was the lawyer who was doing the "soliciting"
When did team Trump accept or receive "contributions or donations" from that lawyer? They didn't receive a thing from her. They walked away from that meeting empty handed. They had received nothing, and nothing of "value" either, from that lawyer
