| Sentenced to death for talking to Russians |
Very specifically, let's address a hot button subject for many liberals. The sort of subject that will immediately raise their collective blood pressure, and cast their emotional well being into a state of disarray. Of course, I am talking about the infamous event commonly referred to as the "Trump Tower Meeting". In liberal lore, this event is often times compared to such events as the crucifixion of Jesus, the Nazi inspired holocaust, the Columbine shootings, the Manson family crimes, Ted Bundy serial murders, and Richard Nixon's watergate break in. In reality it was a meeting between members of the Trump campaign, and an attorney from Russian who claimed to have evidence that Clinton was funneling illegal monetary contributions from Russia into her campaign. The attorney turned out to be a lobbyist with no actual information, whose intentions was to push a policy to the campaign in case they ultimately won.
But therein lies the ultimate trouble with the liberal logic. Both the FBI, and Special Counsel had full access to all of the information regarding this meeting. Neither the FBI or Special Counsel actually found this meeting to be a violation of the law, otherwise one entity or the other would have charged the Trump campaign with whatever crime it would have been. The problem (of course) is what sort of can of worms would be opened if every contact a campaign had with someone from another country was subject to possible criminal liability? The idea (when judged generically to all former and future campaigns) is ludicrous. Making a determination that it illegal for someone to talk to another person (including non-United States citizens) would be a constitutional issue that could never past judicial muster.
But this was the rabbit hole that many on the left wants us to follow them down. The idea that we can just redefine new crimes as they pop up, at least as it pertains to the Trump administration. Certainly there is no real logical reason why what Trump Jr or Jared Kushner did in meeting with a Russian lawyer would be considered illegal, but paying a British Operative to meet with Russians to dig up dirt is not? But this won't stop liberals from allowing this ridiculous notion to fry their brains.
So why are the Liberal loonies all bent out of shape when the President states that he would listen if a foreign entity came to him with information? Don't liberals realize that they have already been proven wrong by their allegations that such behavior is criminal and would lead to everyone associated with the Trump campaign being frogmarched from the White House? Of course not. Liberals are too pigheaded about this and too consumed with TDS to see the reality.
It's like we went through five investigations over a three year period... and the looney left learned nothing from any of it.
83 comments:
Lyndsey Graham said that the President was wrong. Trump said that the director of the FBI was wrong.
He believes that foreign intervention into the election system is acceptable.
President Trump on Wednesday said he would consider accepting information on his political opponents from a foreign government, despite the concerns raised by the intelligence community and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III over Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
In an Oval Office interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Trump also said he wouldn’t necessarily alert the FBI if a foreign country approached his campaign with “oppo research” about his Democratic challenger.
“I think you might want to listen; there isn’t anything wrong with listening,” Trump said. “If somebody called from a country, Norway, ‘We have information on your opponent,’ oh, I think I’d want to hear it.”
When Stephanopoulos asked the president whether he’d want that kind of “interference” in American politics, Trump pushed back on the word.
“It’s not an interference, they have information — I think I’d take it,” Trump said. “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI, if I thought there was something wrong.”
The director of the FBI said under oath that anyone who is approached by a foreign power that he should call the FBI.
Trump said Raey was wrong!
Dirt from a former MI6 agent is not the same thing as getting dirt from the Russians.
Some people have cognitive dissonance upon this President.
No collusion bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahh
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who has positioned himself as a close ally of the President, said it was a "mistake" to accept such information from foreign influences, which he described as "growing not lessening."
"If a foreign government comes to you as a public official and offers to help your campaign, giving you anything of value — whether it be money or information on your opponent — the right answer is no," Graham told reporters on Capitol Hill.
When asked by ABC whether his campaign would accept information from foreign countries like China or Russia, or notify the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both."
Trump is a criminal who will commit treason to get reelected by his own words.
Denny is certainly proving CH's point.
He invited the Russians and the Chinese and anybody else provide information on his opponents. He would not report it to the FBI. Wray is wrong.
Republicans who are attempting to spin this is nothing unusual. Some people have lost any perspective into the actions of the President. One of them is running wild with deep state conspiracy theories about the dossier as the only reason for the investigation into the Russian intervention into the election.
He is willing to contradict any of the intelligence agencies and the FBI about the Russian intervention because he believes what Putin said in Helsinki. And the report that Kim Jong Ung had killed members of his administration because he got a wonderful letter from Kim!
Scott A**hole is a former Republican party loyalist who stood for the party of Reagan who has lost his fucking mind.
Lyndsey Graham is making my point.
"If a foreign government comes to you as a public official and offers to help your campaign, giving you anything of value — whether it be money or information on your opponent — the right answer is no," Graham told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Roger, Impeach Him.
You have the Votes in the US House.
All BS , no Cattle.

If your Hillary and you brief Obama/Biden and you pay for a fantasy document that is ok.
Pelosi
There was an assault on our democracy by the Russians. That has been clearly proven by our intelligence community. @realDonaldTrump’s invitation of further attacks is dangerous & a violation of his oath of office.
This is the Nixon tapes event in 2019.
This is why his lawyer refused to let him testify under oath.
During the Lost Years President soybean price per bushel dropped $4.75 per bushel.
Yep, this is a bomb, shoe, noose and all that.
So Alky, stop monkeying around Impeach the motherfucker.
@LindseyGrahamSC
First, I believe that it should be practice for all public officials who are contacted by a foreign government with an offer of assistance to their campaign – either directly or indirectly – to inform the FBI and reject the offer.I made this point to FBI Director Wray during his confirmation hearings.
But this has not been recent practice and we saw that come to a head during the 2016 presidential campaign.
During that race, we had a major American political party hire a foreign national, Christopher Steele, to dig up dirt on an American presidential candidate.As if that was not bad enough, the foreign national compiled an unverified dossier that was then used by the FBI to obtain a warrant against an American citizen and surveil an American presidential campaign.
It has also come to light that the foreign national had a well-known political bias, was doing everything in his power to harm an American candidate’s electoral chances, and sought to directly influence who the American people elected as their next president.
American electoral campaigns should be run by, for, and decided by the American people.
Foreign influence in our electoral process is and has been a problem.One of the corrective actions that I am pursuing is to ensure that foreign political operatives cannot be allowed to manipulate the American political system.
Changes of this nature will serve our democracy well.
Finally, the outrage some of my Democratic colleagues are raising about President Trump’s comments will hopefully be met with equal outrage that their own party hired a foreign national to do opposition research on President Trump’s campaign and that information, unverified, was apparently used by the FBI to obtain a warrant against an American citizen.
I meet and talk to “foreign governments” every day. I just met with the Queen of England (U.K.), the Prince of Wales, the P.M. of the United Kingdom, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland. We talked about “Everything!” Should I immediately........call the FBI about these calls and meetings? How ridiculous! I would never be trusted again. With that being said, my full answer is rarely played by the Fake News Media. They purposely leave out the part that matters.
He said that meeting with the Queen of England is no different than Russians with dirt.
The Trump heaters here are proving the thread commentary correct.
And btw, that Russian assault happened when obama was president. So I guess his mean faced 'cut it out' didn't scare them.
And yet, with all this so called "Evidence" the cowardly left does nothing.
Roger
Only one side "actually" went and paid someone to garner help from Russian sources, and that someone was the DNC and Hillary campaigns.
Until you agree that Christopher Steele should be prosecuted and everyone associated with paying him should be prosecuted as accessories.
You can take the idea that foreign election interference is unlawful and shove it up your hypocritical ass.
Idiot!!!
Roger is so poor he doesn't own a pot to piss in.
Mail Order fleeced his dumb ads.
CHT I'm pretty sure you must have seen/know about this but just in case:
https://twitter.com/NickSSolheim/status/1139204250234437634
Having tea with the queen of England is hardly the same as taking clandestine help from agents of President Vladimir V. Putin as part of a concerted campaign by Russian intelligence to tilt an American presidential election. You have become cultists.
American law makes it a crime for a candidate to accept money or anything of value from foreign governments or citizens for purposes of winning an election.
He said that he would break the law in the next election when he said that the director of the FBI was wrong.
Graham is following the path I knew was coming.
It is hard for the media to bring this up while side stepping Hillary's efforts to get salacious information from the Russians.
I suspect this is why it may quickly die down.
Idiot
Christopher Steele was investigated by the FBI and he had not committed a crime.
Alzheimer's disease is a tragedy in your case.
Having tea with the queen of England is hardly the same as taking clandestine help from agents of President Vladimir V. Putin as part of a concerted campaign by Russian intelligence to tilt an American presidential election.
I suggest you ask Mrs Clinton about that since she was the only one who actually did take clandestine help from agents of Vladimir Putin.
Trump said he would listen to it then depending on what it was would notify the FBI - just words, didn't actually do anything.
Clinton paid to create manufactured salacious foreign input used to leak and then a basis to spy on a campaign. - ACTUAL DEEDS
TDS MUCH ???
hey roger I have some dirt on Trump
Oops, guess you are calling the FBI on me.
Please post what they say.
Christopher Steele was investigated by the FBI and he had not committed a crime.
That remains to be seen. Meanwhile Steele's chief source for the dossier information is said to be a highly placed individual in the Kremlin's finance ministry. As well as other Russian intelligence officers.
Clinton did not take clandestine help from agents of Vladimir Putin.
@LindseyGrahamSC
I very much appreciate the Trump Administration and @SecPompeo calling Iran out for today’s attack in the Gulf of Oman.
As Secretary Pompeo stated, these attacks are a threat to international peace, security, and freedom of navigation.
When you’re dealing with a rogue nation like Iran - and their escalating provocations - we must send a clear, unequivocal signal their actions are unacceptable.
I am hoping that the Trump Administration will come to Congress and up our sanctions pressure on the Iranian regime.
Statement from Obama on Iran - Your tax dollars at work, Secretary Kerry will provide an update when his time is more flexible.
Clinton did not take clandestine help from agents of Vladimir Putin.
Well technically the law doesn't have anything to do with "Russia" Denny...
She hired Christopher Steele, who is a British operative and former British intelligence agent. He is not an American, so any information he provided her was considered to be from a foreign source. Not to mention all of his sources were Russian.
You don't get to pick and choose which foreign sources can provide you with election information and which ones cannot. Either they are all legal or all illegal.
If I was approached by an agent or the Russian government I would call the police to report a mentally disabled person needing help.
If I was running for office, just like Mitt Romney said today that he would report to the FBI immediately.
If the Democratic candidate is approached by a Russian agent and he or she refused to report it to the FBI immediately this blog would go nuclear.
Trump says he will take dirt from foreigners and again just demonstrated his malignant narcissism which drives him to only consider what benefits him without any concern for the Constitution. ethics, morality, integrity or human decency. Real patriots should be jumping on the impeachment bandwagon not a week or months from now, but today.
I have pictures of Mitch Romney putting a dead dog off the roof of his station wagon.
He parks it down the street from the Senate building.
Barak Obama drove by and steals the dog and takes it to a park.
He is wearing sunglasses, nervously looking around and proceeds to eat it.
Without a knife and fork.
Will only accept bitcoin for payment let me know you accept this offer by having Adam Schiff make a public statement against Trump today while enlarging his eyes (we call it bug-eyed in Iran).
Please act urgently before Mitch kills another dog.
When I had a security clearance and I was approached by an agent or the Russian government I was obligated to report the incident to my security department or I could be subject to revocation of my clearance and subsequent loss of my job....Any one with a clearance is held to the same standard except for Trump, you all bow to his greatness!!!!!!
She hired Christopher Steele, who is a British operative a
Hey Lil Scotty....your lies are becoming rather amusing.....that is total BULLSHIT and I don't need to tell you that, fucking asshole!~!!!!! Your man is crumbling like Humpty Dumpty......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Keep digging....
BTW, your premise of equivalency of fusion hiring steele and russian meddling is crap and demonstrates your desperation to make this go away.....steele was not working for a govmt or representing one.....In your world, any foreign national would be subject to not contributing anything to anyone.... The beached fucking whale is leaving the WH!!!!! I will miss her huge fat white lying ass!!!!!
Denny...
For someone who claims to have worked for the Government in some top secret manner... you are sure confused by what constitutes a Russian "agent". The Trump Tower meeting was not a meeting with any Russian "agent". It was a lobbyist with ties to Fusion GPS. The fact that she was "Russian" does not make her an agent or a member of the Government. It just makes her "Russian".
Of course, someone who worked in the Government for "real" wouldn't need me to explain that.
fatty was a double secret accountant
Let's be clear Denny...
Half the of the "contacts" listed in the Mueller report were people who were not actually even "Russian" much less "Russian agents" or part of the "Russian Government".
A British Professor? An Australian Diplomat? A Manafort employee? An Attorney?
When I had my U.S. security clearance I was just needing to pay Bill Clinton for a speech. I was never approached by an agent (though I have been told I have good acting skills) nor the Russian government. Not sure what I would have done.
I did have a server in my closet so I know I was following proper procedures however.
Hope that helps.
Well technically the law doesn't have anything to do with "Russia" Denny...
BTW asshole.....having trouble figuring out who posts things......seems you have trouble with mine??? Didn't you notice the difference the header or is that too sophisticated for you??????
BWAAAAAAA!!!!! Dumb fuck
Seems to me that the republican party and our Lil Scotty have no issue of trump colluding with the russians by accepting oppo research.....You really are a sick fuck since the reality of the situation, trump has not done a single thing that has benefited you!!!!!!
hey lo iq "anonymous"
Maybe you should think about taking an anger management course.
Available at Oberlin. They no longer take 5 finger but you'd get a senior discount.
You might even find a snowflake to impress, though that is doubtful. Everyone here knows how lo iq you are but some kids are gullible. Maybe you can even get a scholarship for pole vaulting. Others are getting in that way.
ROFLMFAO !!!
No Denny...
Just believe that everyone should be held to the same standard.
Either you can accept opposition research, or you can't. It can't be that Democrats can and Republicans cannot.
Why do you have a problem with that?
Just believe that everyone should be held to the same standard.
BWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Your idea of the same standard is trump can do no wrong and hillary can't do anything right...There is no standard when it comes to accepting crap from the russians!!!! Steele was not a country!!! BTW....R's started the dossier which you ignored., You saying okay if everyone does it is just tells me how your brain has been eaten by trump!!!! There is nothing equivalent!!!!!! Russians are a sworn enemy....steele was a subcontractor.....even with you limited ability to think can figure that out!!!! No one is questioning the research, which you claim the russians offered....that is not research....that was spying as evidenced by the hacked emails trump embraced....Wake up scotty......so sad you had the country like you do!!!!! Keep digging your spinning is most amusing....Seems that your UM is just another school that failed its students!!!
Christopher Steele was investigated by the FBI and he had not committed a crime.
he was on the FBI's payroll, you dumb fuck.
where do you think steele got the contents of the dossier?
the fucking russians, genius.
probably from vlad himself. he probably even told ol vlad he'd have more flexibility after the election.
and who else was in on it early? pappy fucking mcstain. thank goodness he's worm food.
LOL.
i knew your TDS would push you over the edge today alky.
thanks for not letting em down.
he was on the FBI's payroll, you dumb fuck.
BULLSHIT YOU FUCKING RETARD!!!!!!!
He got his data from many sources and individuals, not russian state!!! and according to Lil Scotty should be legal.....BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff appears to have reversed his position on the ethics of using “stolen” information against political foes.
“It’s not OK to use materials they stole from your opponent, or to make it part of your campaign strategy,” Schiff tweeted on Sunday.
Schiff was responding to a Sunday morning interview during which Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani argued that, while he would have advised against it, “There’s nothing wrong with taking information from Russians.” (RELATED: Giuliani To Romney: ‘Stop This Pious Act’)
But when “the Russians” contacted Schiff in 2017, offering him information that they promised would prove compromising to President Donald Trump, he had a very different reaction.
Two Russian comedians, known as Vocan and Lexus, placed a prank call to Schiff pretending to be Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament. They claimed to have recordings proving that Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an effort to force Trump to relax sanctions, was blackmailing the president with photographs of him and a model named Olga Buzova.
Schiff responded by asking, “What’s the nature of the kompromat?”
After being told that there were naked photos of Trump and the Russian model, Schiff instructed members of his staff to follow up — which they did, attempting to set up a meeting with Parubiy in order to move forward.
Schiff aide Rheanne Wirkkala emailed Vocan and Lexus to follow up:
I understand Mr. Schiff had a productive call with Mr. Parubiy, and that Mr. Parubiy would like to make some material available to Mr. Schiff through your embassy.
Vocan and Lexus provided a copy of that email to The Daily Mail, at which point Schiff and his staffers claimed that they had known it was a hoax all along. They did not address questions regarding their decision to follow up on the call if they were aware that it was a prank.

What a big tough douche bag you are Scot,,,,such a brave keyboard warrior who lost his nutz years ago when trump asked for them.....BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Still a chickenshit who will not reveal the town he lives in because he is afraid of beaners, moose limbs and women......LOLOLOLO

But boy does he have an affinity for goat fucking and assholes.
Must feel real lonely in that basement of his. And everyone here laughing at him and his delusions.
Oh, what the hell..... ROFLMFAO !!!
Steele was not a country!!
Go figure? Neither is an attorney, a Manafort attorney, or anyone else that had "contact" with the Trump administration. No Individual is a Country.
But you sure love to say that Manafort gave polling information to "the Russians" - when it was actually an employee at his political consulting firm who had been living in the Ukraine.
Or that Trump Jr and Kushner had a meeting with "the Russians" to get dirt on Hillary - when it was actually a nobody attorney at a small Russian firm.
The law couldn't care less if we are sworn enemies with a country or if we are best friends. The law states that you cannot accept political donations or political work from foreigners. It's broken if that foreigner is British just as much (or not) as if it was a Russian.
Moreover, you keep acting as if Trump had something to do with the hacking or the Trolling farm... when in fact five separate investigations have determined that he had NOTHING to do with them.
the fact that this fact still goes in one of your ears and out the other proves my point.
Neither is an attorney, a Manafort attorney
No Individual is a Country. Well aren't you the genius Lil Scotty.....you fail to grasp the fact that russia interfered with the election, not an individual....Your flawed logic for such brilliant mind is most amusing.....I did not allude or state a foreign national cannot make contacts.....that is your straw man....sorry sport, all you keep doing is digging a deeper hole and I for one am enjoying you travails....
Or that Trump Jr and Kushner had a meeting with "the Russians" to get dirt on Hillary with a no body attorney.....
Yeah donnie should have called the FBI as anyone with a clearance would know, which you think is fine....Getting dirt from a russian agent is BULLSHIT and treasonous....but you can't see past your nose......BWAAAAAAA!!!!
you fail to grasp the fact that russia interfered with the election, not an individual..
Actually, according to the Mueller indictments (and common sense), there were actual people responsible for the hacking. Mueller indicted 12 actual people working for the GRU for the criminal acts. He also indicted 13 Russians from three companies and that were responsible for the internet campaign.
Those were the only Russians charged by Mueller. He didn't charge Putin, or anyone else associated with the Russian government. Just those who actually committed the crimes.
Yeah donnie should have called the FBI as anyone with a clearance would know,
Sure ace...
and why is it that neither the FBI or Special Counsel charged Trump Jr with any sort of crime?
Could it be the simple fact that it was NOT ILLEGAL!!??
After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas....
President Trump says he might accept dirt from another country on his potential Democratic rivals if offered, raising new questions and concerns about foreign influence on American elections.
"It's not an interference, they have information — I think I'd take it," Trump said. "If I thought there was something wrong, I'd go maybe to the FBI — if I thought there was something wrong."
Trump made the comments in an Oval Office interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, after being pressed about the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 with Russians and Trump officials. Ahead of that meeting, which former special counsel Robert Mueller probed, the Trump campaign was offered damaging information on Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton.
In the ABC interview, the president claimed information offered by a foreign government is the equivalent to "oppo research" that's traditional in American political campaigns. However, such information does not typically come from foreign powers that may be seeking to impact the election results and sow discord — as Russia did in 2016. Trump's own handpicked FBI Director Christopher Wray has said the FBI should be informed of such gestures.
"I'll tell you what, I've seen a lot of things over my life. I don't think in my whole life I've ever called the FBI. In my whole life. You don't call the FBI. You throw somebody out of your office, you do whatever you do," Trump said. "Oh, give me a break — life doesn't work that way."
Trump also said he might both accept the information and call the FBI. But the president was clear he disagreed with comments Wray made to Congress just last month that "if any public official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation state or anybody acting on behalf of a nation state about influencing or interfering with our election, then that is something the FBI would want to know about it."
"The FBI director is wrong, because frankly it doesn't happen like that in life," Trump said. "Now maybe it will start happening, maybe today you'd think differently."
On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. returned for a second interview before the Senate Intelligence Committee about the 2016 meeting that he and members of the Trump campaign, including White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, attended. Lawmakers subpoenaed Trump Jr. because of discrepancies between his testimony and that of other witnesses in the Russia investigation. Trump Jr. said afterward that there was no need to amend his previous testimony.
Trump advisers have defended the meeting. Asked whether he would call the FBI if the situation repeated itself, Kushner told Axios earlier this month: "I don't know. It's hard to do hypotheticals, but the reality is is that we were not given anything that was salacious." Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani told CNN in April that "there's nothing wrong with taking information from Russians."
After Trump's comments Wednesday evening, former CIA Director John Brennan — a frequent Trump critic the president has often bashed — tweeted that this was simply more evidence that the president is "an existential threat" to the U.S., as Biden has alleged during his campaign for the Democratic nomination.

President Trump bashed Sen. Kamala Harris's presidential campaign after the California Democrat said her Justice Department would "have no choice" but to prosecute Trump if she were elected.
Lock him up
The President has invited the Russians and the Chinese, or any other nation to interfere in our most important right to choose our leaders to govern under the Constitution of the United States.
You are spending time claiming that because Clinton hired a person to conduct an hour into her opponent is the reason that the President can get dirt from Russia,China,North Korea or Iran and there is nothing wrong with the President's words!
That happened three years ago. Trump is going to let the Russians do op research for him. And you don't care about our country, you are loyal to the President.
You don't care If a government that is hostile to us is used by the president to get re elected. He would not report it to the FBI immediately because it is just OP research!
It's illegal. Even Fox News has said that he would be committing a crime.
I am rolling in my grave!
That happened three years ago. Trump is going to let the Russians do op research for him. And you don't care about our country, you are loyal to the President.
So if he "did" hire a foreign agent to contact Russians for opposition research...
Would that not be the exact same thing that Hillary did in 2016?
Yep, and all he said that he would listen, then decide. Sounds kind of presidential.
Saw another "doctored" Nancy Pelosi video today except this one was being done live. Very disturbing.
Must be foreign interference with live broadcasting signals.
*** Congrats Scott ***
Just saw your appearance on Tucker Carlson
Best of luck going forward... you should have given us a heads-up
@ChuckRossDC
Devin Nunes says he has finally seen the Mueller "scope memo," and indicates that the Steele dossier was a factor in the areas that Rosenstein authorized Mueller to investigate.
Democrats are clearly trying to downplay the significance of the Steele dossier to the overall FBI/Mueller investigation. If Rosenstein authorized Mueller to investigate areas traced back to leads from the dossier, that would be big for Republicans.
Wrong Scott Johnson! That's the guy from the Powerline!
Also, I am much, much better looking than that guy and not that old!
I didn't catch it, but from what he has been writing about, it was no doubt about our favorite Minnesota Muslim polygamist Congresswomen!
Sorry about that, I did hear attorney but thought that was a Tucker mistake. I also thought you must be very good at multi-tasking
Wasn't sure about you and powerline, thought there was some connection but I did know you were from Minnesota and you share a name.
You are right about the topic...
Oh well if Tucker would have you on you'd soon take over... wear a bow tie to differentiate yourself from the other SJ
CHT drowns the old tired Alky.
"So if he "did" hire a foreign agent to contact Russians for opposition research...
Would that not be the exact same thing that Hillary did in 2016?"
The chief of the Federal Election Commission said.
“The head of the Federal Election Commission released a statement on Thursday evening reiterating, emphatically, that foreign assistance is illegal in U.S. elections,” Politico reports.
Said commissioner Ellen Weintraub: “Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.
Whether or not if Clinton did the same thing.
The President would be breaking the law.
Good thing Trump was a hypothetical.
Clinton was an actual.
Guess that is kind of different
But then it follows that Clinton should be in prison.
John Adams wrote Thomas Jefferson on December 7th 1787 about American elections. "You are apprehensive of foriegn interference, intrigue and influence. So am I."
Remember Clinton/Gore and the Chinese or Kennedy and Russia ?

yup. the amount of democrat hypocrisy on this issue exceeds normal levels. but it sure is fun to watch the usual suspects around here go full-on batshit.
Whether or not if Clinton did the same thing.
so there's your hypocritical qualifier, folks.
over the past 24 hours or so since trump made his remarks, i've seen and heard a cavalcade of democrat asshats cry "no one is above the law."
no one except the clinton's, 20+ MILLION criminal illegal aliens, and any democrat who happens to run afoul of the law for any reason whatsoever. joo-hating omar from little mogadishu can marry her brother, and some other guy and file joint tax returns without fear of prosecution. let a republican pull that shit and they're under indictment within an hour.
the left is setting some interesting precedents over the course of this administration, and it will be interesting to see those precedents turned on them in the future.
Above the Law
BIDEN/Obimbo and the use of the Office of the Pres and VP to protect from prosecution Biden's Son.
Then get Biden's Son a multi million dollar payday for a job he was not capable of doing.
so there's your hypocritical qualifier, folks.
Fucking asshole post a fraudulent tweet as facts Regan like Breitbart is long dead!!!.....Like you and the asshole of Mn keep forgetting.....The Steele dossier was originally funded by The Washington Free Beacon and that Steele when he found compromising data reported it to the FBI.......!!!!!! False equivalency is all your desperate mind can muster!!!!! The biggest asshat is Mitch and his cheating wife who just made a windfall on some stocks she manipulated to her advantage.....and not a fucking peep....!!!
I do remember your histrionics when Hillary was accused of the same thing.....NOW NOTHING BECAUSE YOU SUPPORT TRUMP AND HIS CRIMINAL ACTS!!!!!
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are in bed with each other, and not just as husband and wife.
New revelations of official coziness are a huge problem for Chao, whose leadership of the infrastructure-building agency was already on a shaky foundation. Unless she can explain a slew of suspect decisions, and do it quick, she must step down.
Monday, Politico reported that Chao designated a dedicated liaison to help Kentucky and only Kentucky _ the state represented by her powerful spouse _ with infrastructure grants.
Not California, with more people and needs than anyplace else. Not New York, the economic capital, with aging tunnels and bridges. Just the Bluegrass State.
So just as McConnell was gearing up for re-election, Kentucky won nearly $80 million in approved grants, including a highway-improvement project that had been previously rejected twice. Convenient.
This obscene use of political power puts in sharp focus other curious episodes during Chao's tenure.
The New York Times reported that in a 2017 proposed trip to China, Chao _ whose family runs an American shipping company with extensive business in China _ attempted to have Beijing Embassy staff coordinate travel for at least one family member and have other relatives sit in on meetings with Chinese government officials.

Whether or not if Clinton did the same thing.
The President would be breaking the law.
So you are saying she broke the law, and since the statutes of limitations have not passed... should she be prosecuted?
Or is it simply a law we don't prosecute?
Or is it simply a law we don't prosecute?

Federal Election Commission Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub released a statement Thursday making clear that candidates for public office may not receive help from a foreign government, in what appeared to be a warning to President Trump, who said he would consider taking information about an opponent from another country.
Tweeting her statement, Weintraub wrote, “I would not have thought that I needed to say this.”
The head of the agency responsible for campaign finance laws clarified that any campaign that accepts help from a foreign government “risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation.”
“Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office,” Weintraub wrote. “It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election. This is not a novel concept.”
Weintraub put out the statement 24 hours after Trump told ABC News on Wednesday night that he would not necessarily report to law enforcement if a foreign national offered him political information.
Criminals at all levels of the trump dynasty....and you all keep slurping!!!!
The New York Times reported that in a 2017 proposed trip to China, Chao _ whose family runs an American shipping company with extensive business in China _ attempted to have Beijing Embassy staff coordinate travel for at least one family member and have other relatives sit in on meetings with Chinese government officials.
Last month, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Chao made $40,000 profiting from sale of stock in the country's largest construction materials supplier _ stock she had promised to divest from a year ago.
At this point, we're too exhausted to muster much surprise at the discovery of this type of behavior in the Trump Cabinet. But we're not tired enough to take it laying down.
Lol. 😂 $40,000
LOL.....goat fucking asshole....you all bitched at their whole 100k gain on some stock scheme the clintons were involved in.
