What is not omitted, is admitted. The law does not specifically omit "information", so it will be considered under the literal meaning of "thing of value".The letter of the law strongly supports this and the spirit of the law is outright states it: this cannot be applied to information such as Trump Jr was offered.
That's the entirety of the matter.
Here's a treatment from 2010:
Is the intent of the law to avert or mitigate foreign interference with election campaigns? Yes.Anything of Value. The term anything of value is not defined in the FECA-BRCA or the regulations. It should be construed according to its common meaning and consistent with the purpose of the FECA-BRCA.
Is receiving opposition research from a foreign national associated with their government an example of foreign interference with a election campaign? Yes.
Is information pursuant to a campaign literally a "thing of value" to the opposing campaign? Yes.
