President Donald Trump told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he would accept information on his 2020 opponent if it was offered by foreign operatives. In an interview aired Wednesday, Trump presented a hypothetical situation in which “somebody comes up and says, ‘Hey, I have information on your opponent.’ Do you call the FBI?” The president went on to say, “I don’t think in my whole life I’ve ever called the FBI” and, “Give me a break. Life doesn’t work that way.”

When Stephanopoulos challenged Trump, saying that the FBI director believes a person presented with potentially stolen information should call the agency, the president responded, “The FBI director is wrong.”

Comical considering every liberal out there had zero problem with Clinton using a British agent to get dirt from Russia on their political opponent.


I mean if you want us to continue laughing at your side, keeping feigning your horror over something your side is the master of.

That's a pathetic and old lie.

Steele was not an agent. He had been. But was not. So, not an agent. Nothing illegal.

The RNC commissioned the dossier. The company the RNC paid hired Steele.

Line up trumpanzees to excuse your profit. No amount of unAmerican behavior will sway you so go ahead and double, triple, and quadruple on down like usual.

The man is a traitor to this country. He's not even trying to hide it anymore. And yet, his supporters have absolutely no problem with him being willing to sell out America.

Absolutely disgusting and so is Trump.

Couldn't even go three posts before Trump defenders start posting lies.

Hiring. She legally hired an investigator. Trump illegally accepted and is eager to illegally accept foreign intel agencies approaching him with dirt. I know you don't see any difference... willfully, so no need to pretend with further posts explaining how you think it's all the same thing.

And add to this that Steel did not cooperate with operatives serving a foreign government. Yes, he got information from Russians, but such thing is not different from the practice of having a CIA agent using a Russian informer giving information about the activities of the Russian government without the latter being aware of the leak. No serious American can argue that such conduct is in any way immoral or wrong
 
traitor trump is merely admitting what he already did, collude and obstruct, trying to normalize it with his dazed and confused cult.

This is just the madman trying to change the narrative after his disastrous polling in the 17 INDIVIDUAL states that are in play.

If Helsinki didn’t change a person, nothing will.

We aren't talking about the CIA doing it. We are talking about Clinton/DNC doing it and the FBI eagerly using it.

But don't worry, the CIA has stuff they've done that they'll have to explain, too.
 
I just saw that on TV. He did it before, he got away with it, he'll do it again because he knows full well that he has little chance to get re-elected without Putin's help. Again. And he's too ****ing stupid to understand how wrong it is to accept election help from a foreign enemy.

Donald Trump is morally bankrupt, his cult-like apologists are either the same or in deep denial, and none of them can muster up enough patriotism and love for their country to deny him the opportunity to cheat the system a second time.

Trump and his Trumpsters sicken me.

:sick:

Do you just pull stuff out of your backside?

Whether or not Steele was an active agent doesn't matter. He was a foreign operative. The very thing you liberals are throwing a hissy fit over.


And you know perfectly well the RNC didn't pay for or have anything to do with the dossier.

Did you see him waving that piece of paper around yesterday claiming it was "one page of his agreement with Mexico that will be execute at HIS option, subject to Mexico announcing it". He's a snake oil salesman, he's a trolly clown in clown makeup, dividing this country and enriching himself at this countries expense.

He asked for and accepted dirt on his political opponent from a hostile foreign power. He stood in Helsinki and threw our intelligence agencies under a bus to endear himself to his true love, Putin.

He and his family are a poop stain on this nation.

Good golly I'll be glad when he and his family's order are vanquished from our white house.

What a nightmare.

Not to mention that Rudy planned a trip to Ukraine to get dirt on Biden and his son.

But the fact remains that POTUS said he's take intel and that the FBI director was wrong.

Russia 🇷🇺, if you’re listening, I’ll take it, and he did.

By all means, please explain the difference between hiring a foreign operative and just accepting information from a foreign operative.


Honestly, the amount of bat **** insane nonsense that comes out of the mouth of some of you is beyond head scratching.

Great Brittain is not an adversarial country, and they did not hack email servers or mount massive disinformation campaigns on our social media platforms. Anyone who doesn't get the difference is just as stupid as Trump, and just as un-American.

No, he was not!

He was a foreign employee (had his own business in London after he retired from his government job) who got a job outsourced to him by an American company which was doing opposition research.

For your information companies do such things all the time.
The Trump Campaign was using Cambridge Analytica which was a data research company with its HQ in England.

Cambridge Analytica - Wikipedia

Cambridge Analytica Ltd (CA) was a British political consulting firm which combined data mining, data brokerage, and data analysis with strategic communication during the electoral processes.[5][6] It was started in 2013 as an offshoot of the SCL Group.[7] The company closed operations in 2018 in the course of the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal, although related firms still exist.[8]

The company was partly owned by the family of Robert Mercer, an American hedge-fund manager who supports many politically conservative causes.[7][9] The firm maintained offices in London, New York City, and Washington, DC.[10] CEO Alexander Nix has said CA was involved in 44 US political races in 2014.[11] In 2015, CA performed data analysis services for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign.[9] In 2016, CA worked for Donald Trump's presidential campaign[1

Hiring an investigator isn't accepting help from a foreign government trying to affect an election. By all means... continue playing dumb about this all you want.

Meanwhile, the GOPutins are hiding their illegal actions in conducting the census, a huge addition to REDMAP 2010. The gop goal is to simply create too many court actions to be dealt with ahead of the 2020 election.

Not to mention the really OBVIOUS fact that Brittain is our ally, not our adversary.

Hey, let me explain something to you:

Great Britain: Our ally for years and years, went to Iraq with us and fought alongside us.

Russia: A hostile foreign power with a mission to destabilize the Western world. A country that attacked our election process with the objective to get trump elected.

Please, please tell us you understand the difference!
