Russia can give money to the NRA. That does not violate any campaign finance laws. If the NRA was a sham corporation set up and controlled by Russians then I might have a problem, but that is not the case at all. And all donations from the NRA to a campaign are controlled by the campaign finance laws.
Fusion GPS can be hired by a campaign to research and gather information. That does not violate campaign finance laws.
The Trump campaign can not obtain secret information from a foreign agent outside of the laws and regulations of the United sates because that violate campaign finance laws.
I don't know what part of this you are having problems with? You are trying to compare apples to oranges. Contributions to a campaign are controlled by certain laws. They have nothing to do with the Russia giving money to the NRA.
