I disagree. There is a long history of authoritarian regimes investigating and prosecuting political enemies which absolutely poses a threat to democracies. Also to answer your question, yes, if SA gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and that money was used to fund their political campaign then it would be a violation of the law.Because Trump is legally barred from soliciting a foreign national to investigate him, not because Biden is somehow "protected from investigation.""Why do you on the left think Joe Biden is somehow "protected" from investigation for corruption because he's running for President?"
What the fuck is wrong with your reading comprehension, lying con tool? Nobody said Biden is protected from investigation.
But when Trump asks for one you impeach him? Duh?
What law prohibits Trump from asking the Ukraine to investigate the Bidens?§30121 Contributions and donations by foreign nationals
(a) Prohibition
It shall be unlawful for-
(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make-
(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;(2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.
(B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or
(C) an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 30104(f)(3) of this title); or
So tell me, Faun...when countries such as Saudi Arabia gave millions to the Clinton Foundation...and then some of that Foundation money was used to supplement the salaries of Hillary Clinton campaign staffers...would THAT be a perfect example of a violation of S30121? Or is that to obvious for you on the left?
You see the only way you can make that statute apply to Trump is if you assign "value" to the damage that the truth did to the Hillary Clinton campaign when all of the sleazy things she'd been up to were exposed! You need that interpretation because without it...you've got nothing. Quite frankly I don't think that statute was ever meant to include ideas and facts...it referred to money being spent on US elections by foreigners. You know like Hillary's campaign actually DID!
