A former Federal Prosecutor summed it up really well a while ago. The rules read "money or other things of value that can influence a campaign". Information to damage your opponent, and aid you, is a thing of value.
And Junior already acknowledged the emails are legit. His defense is that "nothing really came of the meeting, is was basically gibberish".
The Prosecutor used the analogy that "just because you break into a bank and find out there's no money, doesn't absolve you of a crime".
