If I have to choose my expert, I'll go with a guy who, unlike Alan Dershowitz, didn't plagiarize the good work of another author.
That would be Professor Rick Hasen who writes the Election Law Blog.
It is illegal for a person to solicit a contribution to a campaign from a foreign individual or entity. To solicit [which] means to ask, request, or recommend, explicitly or implicitly, that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds, or otherwise provide anything of value. A solicitation is an oral or written communication that, construed as reasonably understood in the context in which it is made, contains a clear message asking, requesting, or recommending that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds, or otherwise provide anything of value. A solicitation may be made directly or indirectly. The context includes the conduct of persons involved in the communication. A solicitation does not include mere statements of political support or mere guidance as to the applicability of a particular law or regulation. -

Sorry to say that not everybody agrees with Sean Hannity and Rush, including me. More Anti-Junior stuff:

"This is not hearsay, not fake news, not unsourced leaks," [Charles] Krauthammer wrote. "This is an email chain released by Donald Trump Jr. himself." -

Bullshit! Hasen is just another left coast hack, cut from the same cloth as BHO.

Junior's actions are not covered by the First Amendment. But I think I'll defer to Bush's ethics lawyer on that one.
But even ignoring that, it is a crime under federal statutes “for a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value” to a candidate in an American election.
Donald called Junior's actions "oppo research". And oppo research, as Trump would be the first to acknowledge, is a thing of value." -
