Did George Stephanopoulos trick Trump or help Trump?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Actually it was brilliant because we are about to see how deep the pile of stink goes with Obama and Clinton being puppets of Putin when they solicited his help to defeat Donald Trump.

Okay, we get it, you're crazy...geesh...

Trump's really doing a number on his fellow republicans right now. They are feeling the pressure...

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Demoscum was going to do the same thing no matter what Trump said.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Hillary hired opposition research, all perfectly legal... even with the PI hired by GPS, being a British citizen.

the Trump campaign worked with the Russian Intelligence service and Russian Oligarch who funded the Internet research center of trolls and fake news, who also STOLE Dnc and Podesta emails etc....

-Manafort gave inside polling data to Kiliminik on multiple occasions throughout the campaign, who passed it on to russian intelligence that was interfering....

the only reason Manafort was not charged with Conspiracy, was that without access to the GRU's records and people involved, they could not establish what the Russians did with the inside Trump polling date, passed on to them.

-Donny Jr said he'd love the Russian govt's help and love the Russian gvt dirt they had on Hillary... the only reason he was not charged with the Campaign finance law that he BROKE, was because he may not have known, that it was breaking campaign finance law... and the law requires one knowing they were breaking the law.... any other campaign worker would have run it by the Campaign Lawyer.... but hey... Trump's all think they are the say all, be all....

The two, can not even be compared.

It is against the law for Foreign Countries to interfere in our democratic election process... yes, a real crime, with a US CODE Statute.... not just against the rules and Campaign Finance laws..

President Trump saying he would do it again, even now that he and his son etc now KNOW it is against the law in several ways, is the Man of Lawlessness at work, right before our very eyes and shameful....

but NOT as shameful, as his acolytes, who bow, at his feet... and wash his feet with their own tears, and wipe them clean with their own hair....

ie - WE CAN BREAK THE LAW YOU CAN'T.

which is what keeps the divide alive.

so - all trump has to do is call it opposition research and we're good. got it.

you can't make up fictional characters this fucking stupid.

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
The 'What About Ukraine?' Defense of Trump Jr.'s Russia Meeting
As Russia collusion fades, Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges
Media, Dems Ignore Hillary Ukraine Collusion

so in short, no one is buying you're WE'RE INNOCENT BUT YOU ARE GUILTY bullshit anymore.

What did Adam Schiff call it when two Russians were making a fool of him?

 

[DGS49]

Leftist idiocy and hypocrisy demonstrated in one episode.

The question was, Would you listen to negative information on a political opponent if it came from a foreign source? Trump's response was, Yes. He would listen, then, if appropriate, report the approach to the FBI.

This is not only perfectly legal and logical, except for the FBI notification, it is what any Democrat - ANY Democrat - would do under the same circumstances.

The Left and the Media have redefined "election tampering" to suit their current political narrative. Ask any hundred literate Americans off the street to define and give examples of "election tampering," and NONE of them would include providing TRUTHFUL INFORMATION on one candidate to another candidate. This is NOT "election tampering." Depending on ones perspective, it is performing a public service.

Election tampering is messing with ballot boxes or the vote accumulation process, spreading FALSE information about candidates, preventing people from voting, and things of that nature.

So here we have the hypothetical where potentially truthful information that will assist in a campaign is offered by a "foreign" source. No problem whatsoever.

[Yarddog]

A lot of you guys are forgetting something. One of the reasons that they didn't press charges against Trump from the Mueller report is that he couldn't prove intent.

If ANY other country messes with our elections, and it is favorable to Trump, it will look like he was working with them, regardless of if he did or didn't, because of these comments he made to Stephanopolis.

He told Steponallofus that he would listen to what they had to say... then tell the FBI. Seems to me that is not using opposition research to bring down a political opponent. Theres actually nothing wrong with turning the information to the FBI..... yet somehow the left says this threatens the Pillars of democracy.

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

Really? Was it your steadfast loyalty to Trump's propaganda or your base ignorance and lack of fundamental knowledge which prompted you to write that bit of ignorance? Here...edify yourself by reading from the United States Code which puts the damning truth to your lie/ignorance!

52 U.S. Code § 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;
(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
(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) “Foreign national” definedAs used in this section, the term “foreign national” means—
(1) a foreign principal, as such term is defined by section 611(b) of title 22, except that the term “foreign national” shall not include any individual who is a citizen of the United States; or
(2) an individual who is not a citizen of the United States or a national of the United States (as defined in section 1101(a)(22) of title 8) and who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence, as defined by section 1101(a)(20) of title 8

Be sure you read the definitions in 22 USC § 611 so your pea brain doesn't get too confused by the TRUTH!

Now eat shit and die Hossfly! Edify thyself and stop listening to Trumpian lies and misdirections and you'll start to repair some of the damage you've done to your reputation as a Trump lackey!

Please, take a tip--you obviously have no legal education, so try to avoid commenting on matters of legal/statutory interpretation. If you insist on doing so, here's some free legal advice--read the definitions section of the statute you're citing first. 52 U.S.C. § 30101 - Definitions. Hint, such information is not a "contribution" as defined in the Act. That statute has absolutely no application to such circumstances. The obligation is to inform the FBI if there is information about ongoing criminal activity that poses a threat to the United States. Under those circumstances, as the nation's chief law enforcement officer (head of the Executive branch), the President has an obligation to hear the information and determine whether there is a meritorious threat to the United States.

You appear to be logically challenged and incapable of analyzing the full scope of an exchange between two other posters, neh? If you had possessed the curiosity and where-with-all to comprehend that the original topic had been bifurcated by the other poster's response, you may have understood my response in its full context and not made such of an ass of yourself.

If you had followed/READ my postings on this thread, you would have seen that the actual subject was Trump's failure to follow his Oath of Office to faithfully execute all laws, which he obviously failed to exercise either before or after taking his oath. Perhaps your ego would be better served without the potential of further embarrassment if you fully informed your dumb ass before you initiated your prattle AFTER you became informed of all aspects of an issue/discussion/what-the-fuck-ever!

Cheers & have a nice day!

 

[justoffal]

George asked Trump what he would do if a foreign country offered him dirt on a political opponent, accept it or report it to the FBI. Trump said he'd do both, he called it "oppo research", which the dems used as the excuse for their "Steele Dossier" on Trump using foreign intel assets as well as paying Russians for info.

The democrats as well as the MSM are going berserk!
Lindsay Graham said Trump's response was a "mistake".

Trump Says He Would Accept Campaign Dirt From Foreign Goverments, Not Tell FBI - News & Guts Media

Lets take a poll on who the furor helps or hurts...

President Trump is playing the libs in a well orchestrated plan. He wasn't "tricked" at all by this lightweight

Can you imagine the volumes of lurid details that are out there?

So the only difference seems to be calling it "opposition research", is that how it works?

Well this is interesting.... how is lefty possibly going to condemn this move by the president since obviously the past two and a half years has been consumed with dirt collected from foreigners on the POTUS? Are they going to say it's immoral or Un-american?

I wonder if It ever occurred to these guys that more than one person can play this game.

Of particular interest would be information from both China and Ukraine on Joe biden's personal business dealings between them him and his son.

Time for more dossiers!

Trump is dead-wrong on this.

And all of you TrumpBots trying to blow smoke to cover his ass are guilty of enabling him - again.

What's worse - unlike him - you know that it's wrong, and you're backing it anyway.

Shame on you.

It doesn't matter one good goddamn if each and every Democrat on the face of the planet did the same thing.

We are talking about a sitting President of the United States saying this.

Think long and hard about what you're supporting in this instance.

[ThoughtCrimes]

The faithful few, who are 'growing' fewer, are there as usual to defend Trump's stupidity to the end!

Bottom line is Trump's admission to accept "dirt" from a foreign government is a violation of his Oath of Office to faithfully execute all laws. Given any acceptance of campaign assistance whatsoever from any foreign government or any agency of that government is unlawful, Trump's admission is reason to add two more Articles to his Bill of Impeachment and another criminal charge to add to his indictments upon leaving office!

Fuck Trump and his criminal spawn!

What a crock of light brown putrid shit! Trump says he will accept dirt from foreign sources and it's grounds to castrate him. But the Progressive Socialist Democreep party can spend 2 1/2 years, 24 million pesos on phony foreign information, find nothing and then set off more investigations of crimes that were never committed. If Trump was really smart,(which he is) he would file individual lawsuits for slander and defamation and let those criminal bastards pay through the nose for lawyers. First of all, it is not illegal to accept information from foreign sources. Government agencies do it countless times every day. It depends on how the information is used. More barking and braying by the brain dead snowflake left.

Trump says he will accept dirt from foreign sources and it's grounds to castrate him.

No, castrate him technically by taking his phone access to FB and Twitter by throwing his crooked ass in prison, you ass-kissing Trump flunky! Some of us still believe in the Rule of Law in this Nation and wish to preserve the Union so many have fought to defend and preserve for the Americans coming behind us for those behind them!!!!

[rightwinger]

Trump: Nothing wrong with accepting dirt from foreign governments on opponents

Oh boy is this going to start a firestorm.

Trump compared damaging information on an opponent supplied by a foreign government to opposition research conducted by all political campaigns.

“It’s not an interference, they have information – I think I’d take it,” Trump said. “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI – if I thought there was something wrong.”

You can bet they’ll ignore the notifying the FBI part.

More @ https://www.oann.com/trump-nothing-wrong-with-accepting-dirt-from-foreign-governments-on-opponents/

Trump is already admitting his campaign is corrupt
