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.
As for Steele, I don't know and neither do you - so to claim that Hillary paid Russians is based on what? Do you not understand that even if Hillary PAID Russians, that's not the same as receiving a donation from them which is in fact illegal - it's not illegal to pay anyone including foreigners for work, what's illegal is to get donations from them.
