Get ready for virtue blaring of epic proportion.

quote:

President Trump said in an interview that he would accept foreign information on political opponents, saying “they all do it.” Mr. Trump told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that the origin of opposition research would not overly concern him and that he may or may not go to the FBI if such an offer came from abroad.

“Someone comes up and says ‘hey, I have information on your opponent.’ You call the FBI?” he said in a video clip posted Wednesday by ABC News. “Give me a break. Life doesn’t work like that.”

He denied Mr. Stephanopoulos’s claim that taking information from foreigners constitutes collusion with their interference in U.S. elections. “It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it,” he said.


quote:

At one point, Mr. Stephanopoulos specified that the information came from a hostile nation such as Russia or China and asked Mr. Trump whether he’d take the information or report the foreign feelers to the FBI, he replied “maybe you do both.” “I think you might want to listen, there isn’t anything wrong with listening,” he continued.

“If somebody called from a country, Norway, ‘we have information on your opponent’ — oh, I think I’d want to hear it.”


Also incoming shortly, TriggerednDC will be lecturing about conspiracy to commit future violations of campaign finance laws.

He is going to get the left condemning any such thing and then reveal Hillary and Biden and others doing that exact thing. Do people really think Trump doesn’t think of how to play these things out before he says them?

It's one thing to take information from a foreign country, it's another thing to use fake foreign information to illegally spy on your political opponents

Like a phony dossier written by a Brit based on fake information from Russians? Is that wrong? Should we not do that.

Anybody who thinks it is abnormal in American politics to accept opposition research from other countries is delusional.

I can list multiple times Hillary had done it.

Now, if the info was stolen or looks to be nat security related, that is an issue.

Why not just buy some information like Hillary did then turn around and give it too the FBI to frame your opponent and bring about a coup in case you lost.

The left, Dems, and MSM are burying themselves.

Here's an idea...want to run for office? Don't do anything worth spying on.

It isn't interference if they have footage or proof of you being a POS.

Precedent has been set. In fact, it would be traitorous if he didn't.

Normally that would be worthy advice unless you have a criminal cabal in the WH, State, and intelligence agencies and FBI. Like that of the Obama admin. They doubled down on the spying by adding an insurance policy dossier in case they didn't turn up anything worthwhile (they didn't) with the spy ops. That's why we have wasted 2 and a half years investigating something that was la la land ridiculous to begin with. And now have a new and active investigation of the investigators that sadly, has legs.

Nyet. You should not do that. That is of course unless you got the phony dossier written by a Brit based on fake information from the Russians blessed by the CIA first, and then presented to a court with no other information pertaining to its origins, whereupon it becomes ok only after you listen to the phone calls of private citizens who are completely unaware so that you can use said information in an attempt to ruin their reputations so you can win an election. So long as the private information is obtained from your OWN government, a political campaign is within its rights to use it against the opposition. But not if a Russian calls you on the phone and offers it to you. That's not ok. Everyone knows it's illegal to have a conversation with a Russian.

1) Christopher Steele being a British MI6 operative whose dossier sources were kremlin advisors

2) DNC getting info from Ukraine on Manafort’s dark money activities there

Let’s hope this is the noose Trump is tightening around their Prog/Dim necks.

So this information was given directly to Hillary from foreign actors and she declined to give it to the FBI?

I figured you guys would somehow find a way to put a positive spin on this. I watched the interview. You can bet that trump’s handlers will put him on a very short leash. He may be a hero to most on this board, but in reality, he is like a turtle on a fence post.

Oh the leftists think he’s a complete imbecile. An imbecile that orchestrated multi-national intelligence operation to completely sway the results of the 2016 election and covered up so well that Robert Mueller couldn’t find any of the evidence. What an idiot!
