House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the House would take up legislation that would require candidates to report foreign offers of opposition research to the FBI. Pelosi made the announcement in response to President Trump’s ABC News interview about accepting such research, which she called “appalling” and an indication “the president does not know right from wrong.” Trump told ABC that he would accept foreign opposition research unless he determined something was wrong. “There is a law that you cannot accept contributions and that includes in-kind from a foreign government,” Pelosi said. “But if it needs more clarity than we will go to the ‘duty to report.’ Not only that you don’t accept it, but you report it to the FBI.”




Y'all, we do not deserve this magnificent orange bastard.

He smooth suckered these idiots right into this in spite of themselves.

My God what a time to be alive to witness this.

Amazing optics but those cock suckers won't adhere to it.

Oops, we'll retroactively file FARA.

Wow that is a really ironic headline considering the entire "Russia" investigation started from Democrat opposition research.

It pleases me to think of the upcoming Gen Z conservatives who will write the books on this amazing man.

I think I would find a way to admire their honesty if they would just say "We hate this man with every fiber of our being, and we're going to take every available measure at our disposal to discredit/defeat him."

This is what happens when you are a lying sociopath and know you have the backing of the MSM and an ignorant populace.

Funny and scary at the same time.

It's always fun watching her struggle through pressers with her drunken incoherence and rambling.

The Democrats are literally too dumb to realize this.

Is that even legal? In America we are not legally compelled to report crimes. If I see a robbery in the street you cannot prosecute me for not reporting it. (Yeah, I may be an SOB for not reporting it, but I am not required to do so). When we get to the point where we prosecute people for keeping quiet, that becomes a slippery slope and rather dangerous.

Secondly, how are we supposed to know who is from a "foreign government?" Does this mean we cannot speak to any foreigner at all during a campaign? Because it will be impossible to know which foreigner is part of a "government."

Third, these Democrats are still so butt hurt their candidate was terrible. Still blaming it on "the Russians." Pathetic losers.

This is the part that confuses me. At no point did he state he would pay for the information, or offer anything for the information. In-kind is simply a different way to say barter, so if he is not offering the foreign entities anything; how is he breaking any laws?

Could it be that they are nervous about the information that he may actually receive?
