[W:775]Trump: ‘I think I’d take’ damaging info on 2020 rival from foreign operatives

Mycroft said:
The FBI director has a right to his own opinion, but remember...Wray's opinion doesn't trump Trump.

Who's the BOSS?

Seriously? Because he's the president, you'll excuse him for being too ****ing stupid to understand how wrong it is to accept help from an enemy?

Wow. Just wow. How do his apologists even call themselves Americans?
 
Mycroft said:
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.

We are talking about the morality of using a Russian to get information. My point is that just because a source may be foreigner does not necessarily mean that it is immoral or wrong to use him. It is lame to try to equate the case of a Russian who is giving information ON BEHALF of his government to advance its policies to a Russian who is leaking information about the Russian government.

Hey. You don't have to vote for him if you think Trump is stupid. And I didn't "excuse him". I simply showed how Wray isn't the controlling factor here. Trump is.

Wray is just a person with an opinion. Trump is the Boss.

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!

tertiary syphilis trump is at war with our allies and in bed with our enemies. It’s that simple.

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.

Oh so using a foreign intermediary to get dirt from Russia somehow makes it different.


Gotcha!!

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.

Is anyone buying those old lies?

Just because someone was - was - before - not now - does not make them an "operative".

It's such a pathetic lie.

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.

LOL!!

A pathetic distinction, especially when so many people have shouted to high heaven about people associated with Trump just talking to "a Russian" as being proof that Trump is colluding with "Russia".

Please. Don't be hypocritical just because you hate Trump.

Yeah, you don't understand the difference between a hostile foreign power an an ally.

Keep putting your hands over your ears and screaming, "LA, LA, LA, LA!". It's working for you.

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.

Perhaps in those teenie tiny liberal heads they've convinced themselves there's a major difference between using a foreign asset to get dirt from the Russian government on your political opponent and the Russian government freely giving information on your political opponent.

A pathetic equation of situations from you part when you do not understand the difference and when I already showed you that even the Trump Campaign was using a political consulting company with its HQ in London! And no, there was no screaming to high heavens about this!

I just hope that if Trump loses the next election, he will not try to argue that it was stolen by the Democrats because some lemmings seem determined to follow him no matter what he says! And some of them are heavily armed too....

I understand the hissy fit liberals throw whenever anyone points out their hypocrisy and stupidity.
 
It's just comical seeing how worked up our liberal friends get whenever someone equates what their side did to how Russia tried to help Trump.


I seriously think there's tears flowing they're so upset.

Nor does some made up bs equate to a dossier but that doesn't stop your side from relentlessly saying it to make things sound more nefarious.

Moving on....

Have you anything to back that up? Beyond reasonable doubt?
To your second part, and putting on both my straight jacket and my tin foil hat, what if...the only reason we keep talking about this is because the Clintons?
Do you see where I am going? It all depends on the perspective. Given all circumstances, i like to think that both Hillary and Bill have much more accumulated favors than Trump.

Steele is not a foreign agent or operative. Stop lying.

A foreign ALLY private investigator to you is the same thing as a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT ENTITY WHO IS NOT OUR ALLY.

Yeah, keep spilling your ignorance so that you further profess your fealty to your extremely unAmerican profit, Trump.

I'm sure Bernie has an opinion about cheating and honesty. But then again, it turned out he didn't mind the cheating.

Oh well...

He sure is reaching quite hard to excuse this unAmerican behavior by Trump.

No one could possibly imagine right-wing outrage if it was Obama's name attached to this comment made today instead of Trump.

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.

Bernie cheated? How's so?
If there is any politician with integrity out there, it is Bernie, although he might be misguided at times.I call it being too trusting.

We can always count on the madman trump and mcconnell’s stormtroopers to do the exact opposite of what Presidents Eisenhower and Reagan would have done.
