Does Mueller Indictment Mean Clinton Campaign Can Be Indicted for Christopher Steele?

quote:
Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted foreign citizens for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission. By that theory, when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign? Mueller’s indictment against 13 Russian trolls claimed their social media political activity was criminal because: they were foreign citizens; they tried to influence an election; and they neither registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act nor reported their funding to the Federal Elections Commission.
First, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make Steele a criminal: first, he is a foreign citizen; second, he tried to influence an election, which he received payments to do (including from the FBI itself); and third, he neither registered as a foreign agent nor listed his receipts and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission. Also, according to the FBI, along the way, Steele lied…a lot, while the dossier he disseminated contained its own lies based on bought-and-paid for smears from foreign sources reliant on rumors and innuendo.

Sounds like the author of this piece has already drafted a winning defense strategy for the people indicted this week.

Steele should be indicted for knowingly feeding the feds false information with the dossier.
Isn't that kind of charge all the rage now these days?

Did he do it on US soil? If not I don't see where the US has any jurisdiction over him. Now his co-conspirators among the Clinton campaign, the media, the US Senate, and the FBI itself are certainly fair game and it is obscene that they haven't already been indicted.

All these Mueller indictments signify is the Trump Administration's skill in high stakes lying, and coverups.

I think this is where its headed and the media is too stupid to see it. They should just shut up and try to let this all go quietly.vvits their only play.
Mueller is playing it by the book now, to save his arse. I think he was only toe deep in the mess, and has a chance to redeem himself.

Unfortunately the FBI already covered themselves and Steele on this one by murdering 17 children and proving that information fed to the FBI isn’t used, thus Steele can’t be tried

I thought Trump was a buffoon? Now he is smarter than the former head of the FBI and his army of partisan investigators?

I believe that the word you are looking for is "collusion." It has been in the media quite a bit lately.

They are complicit because they paid him to do the dirty work.
If you pay someone to commit a crime, you are guilty too.

So I'm still waiting for someone, preferably a lawyer, to cite some statute or case that can explain how they would be indicted.

quote:Even if what one pays for isn't a crime in and of itself, it's a crime if the person failed to obtain proper authorization? There are many examples of people paying someone for work and the work itself was legal and that person was not legally licensed to do the work, like paying pharmacists and/or physicians and recieved a prescription that they weren't legally allowed to fill or prescribe since they failed to obtain the necessary license.

But when it is a crime (like paying a hitman), it's usually (or always) explicitly designated as a crime. So surely someone can provide the justification here.
Not to mention, the indictment mentions the involvement of an unnamed US citizen who wasn't indicted so that doesn't seem to support this argument. Plus, the article, which is inexcusably devoid of any legal citations, says Steele was not registered as a foreign agent. Maybe he's not, but the article also doesn't provide evidence (like showing it's not in a database if that is publicly available) so do we know that's even factual?
