Election law had been the same since 2016. For a CRIMINAL prosecution, it must be shown that the accused is aware of the law and broke it anyways.
Any information from any foreign government official is an illegal campaign contribution. It's just especially egregious if a candidate is taking that information from a country that has proven that their goal is to weaken our democratic processes. That Trump doesn't seem to understand this speaks to his egotism ("the rules don't apply to me") and his lack of patriotism.
What disgusts me the most about this is how hard his supporters are trying to excuse it.
Who said anything about a CRIMINAL prosecution?
Just admit you don't know the law that FBI Director Wray knows. and all educated people know, and keep on defending Trump.
I agree, I'm just weary of trying to explain that to the Trumpsters on this forum.
Steele himself has said he doesn't know the identify of many of the people who provided him with the information.
Why trust they were legit? Maybe Steele fell victim to the Russian plot.
There was no law broken.
The RNC commissioned the dossier. The company the RNC paid hired Steele.
Fusion GPS is an American company. That is an undisputed fact. Stop going off tangent about Steele. Free Beacon and the DNC paid an American company.
I don't expect you to be outraged by Trump's comments. You hate America and our democracy.
Who said there was a law broken? WTF are you babbling about now?
Do you have any idea what we are discussing in this thread? It was Trump's words about what he would do in 2020. Get a god damn grip on yourself.
There was no law broken.
LOL. Steele was a foreigner and his sources who provided the info for his dossier are foreigners.
If it's ok and legal for Clinton to take such information from such people (and it is legal and she of course did), then it's ok for for Trump to do the same (and, of course, he didn't).
If you wish to denounce the morality of talking info from foreigners, that's ok. But yet again, Clinton did this in 2016, not Trump. The outrage is over something which hypothetically might happen; there would be no repeat performance.
And now you rest you ideology on "maybe". That pretty much winds up your contributions to this topic.
He mentioned Norway-- an ally.
Clinton got info from Putin.
Once again, do you know what is going on?
Clinton and the Free Beacon hired Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS is an American company.
I'd say your display of ignorance is surprising, but it isn't. It's predictable.
Any information from any foreign government official is an illegal campaign contribution..
I'd ask you to link to some evidence of your last statement, but it's pointless for 2 reasons. One is you are just lying through your teeth. Two is it's pointless to discuss anything with you. You are more embedded than the 900 Jones supporters who drank poison in 1978 because their leader told them to.
Someone else can waste time with you. Reading your lies is a waste of my time.
That's contrary to Mueller's report findings.Collusion is conspiracy.
There was no conspiracy to fix the 2016 election.
It didn't happen.
In the political and popular vernacular, collusion has been incorrectly conflated with its legal equivalent: criminal conspiracy. Mueller said that he found insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government—a finding that Trump keeps insisting means there was “no collusion.”
But the special counsel noted in his report that there were “numerous links (i.e., contacts) between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign.” The report also found that affiliates of the Trump campaign repeatedly promoted the work of Russia’s innocuously named Internet Research Agency (I.R.A.), which carried out Moscow’s election-interference operations through a social-media campaign and used various means to communicate directly with the campaign.
The report notes that “on multiple occasions, members and surrogates of the Trump Campaign promoted—typically by linking, retweeting, or similar methods of reposting—pro-Trump or anti-Clinton content published by the IRA through IRA-controlled social media accounts.” Both sides then lied about the meetings and other contacts, which were designed to help Trump win the election.
Collusion is defined by Merriam-Webster’s as a “secret agreement or cooperation, especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose,” such as “acting in collusion with the enemy.” Under that definition, the contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia, an avowed enemy of the United States, at least amounted to coöperation with a deceitful purpose.
HIllary did not hire Steele. She hired Fusion GPS, an American firm.
Trump, on national television, invited Russia to commit espionage, and deliver the work product of that espionage to the American press.
They listened, they complied, and the President appreciated it.
If you wish to give Russia the benefit of the doubt, go right ahead. I am not clear if you are as charitable when Russia denies any sort of interference in 2016.
I'd ask you to link to some evidence of your last statement, but it's pointless for 2 reasons. One is you are just lying through your teeth. Two is it's pointless to discuss anything with you. You are more embedded than the 900 Jones supporters who drank poison in 1978 because their leader told them to.

Two fabrications that reveal the lameness of your arguments
Says the guy worshipping trump and russian intel over allied intel
Yet again-- such a standard applies to the Steele Dossier.
