How is that illegal?

And if that’s illegal, how was it legal for Hillary to get dirt on Trump from Russia via an ex-British agent?

Can someone explain this to me?

I was getting dirt on the Hillary campaign from Wikileaks too, along with everyone else in the world with an internet connection.

(D) means do whatever you want.

In theory, if I steal something and sell it to you, you are guilty of possession of stolen property.

Unless you knew it was stolen, then you are guilty of receiving stolen property.

Trump's team couldn't trust the mainstream media to criticize Clinton and her team. They were in the tank for her. And what Wilileaks reported was true! And damning! God bless Assange for exposing that corrupt bitch for who she is. Libs love the press being adversarial to Trump, but when Wikileaks does it to Clinton it's a criminal conspiracy.

This is a terrible analogy. Should Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald and Barton Gellman be prosecuted for receiving stolen info from Ed Snowden? How about the NY Times and the Washington Post for publishing it? Hell, should everyone who's ever read Wikileaks be prosecuted?

I think you may have actually to be in possession of a copy.

But you may want to consult an attorney.

So no mens rea required? Hmmmm

Yet another subject where you are ignorant, yet feel comfortable opining. Strange habit.

Is that not what the MSM told everyone. It was not important what it contained; just bad that we have it.

It's not an analogy. If the wikileaks documents are considered stolen property, and you are in possession of wikileaks documents, you are in possession of stolen property, which is a misdemeanor, I believe. But again, you may want to consult an attorney. There are plenty on the board.

No one possessed them. Read them sure.

I was not voting for Hillary before the emails. No change.

That is a textbook example of foreign interference in an election.

In bizarro world, the act of getting dirt is worse than the dirt itself

In other words, finding out that Person A murdered someone is worse than the fact that Person A murdered someone

Wouldn't that just be required to prove receiving stolen goods, and not simply being in possession of them?

Meh, me neither. That's why I didn't even bother to read them.
