Bounties are legal people call private investigators to look up something all the time or the observe someone
Paying in Bitcoin makes no difference in general if people want to get information how they pay does not matter, the objective can be though but it depends I guess.

And why the bounty should be illegal? Who can explain it to me?
It depends on what lengths the investigator goes to get the e-mails. If he/she hacks into government computers to do it I am pretty sure that would be illegal.
As long as the act the bounty is paying for is not illegal then there is no issue with a bitcoin bounty.
Most rewards in the way that bounties are handled are done in an anonymous way even before bitcoin was in existence.

I believe that it is legal. It is essentially a transaction under a contract of donation
I don't think this is a bounty as much as you're just hiring a private investigator...
Is a BTC bounty to recover the "lost" Lois Lerner emails legal?
- The person recovering would be anonymous.
- The content of the emails would only be seen by those in the investigation, not asking for them to be published.
