Post the law or Regulation that makes it illegal for a 3rd party to release damaging information about a Presidential Candidate please.

I think it's called the Democrat protection law of 1967.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Still waiting........ It is neither illegal or immoral to post or provide information against a political party or candidate by 3rd parties. There is no law preventing this from happening. The Russians can IN FACT provide information to a third party in the US and that party can release that information. But while we talk about the Russians there is NO actual evidence they provided any information on Hillary Clinton, in fact all the intel says that an OPEN SOURCE code once used by the Russians and now available to ANYONE with an internet connection was used to hack the DNC. And then the intel agencies REFUSED to provide Congress with information about the Intel claims they had proof the Russians hacked the DNC.

The Alt-Stains don't need proof. Someone claims it, and off they go!

The question is not is it illegal for a third party to release damaging information about a Presidential Candidate the question is how did they come by the information? Getting it through a FOI request or other legal means is one thing doing so by illegally hacking private e-mail is another we should all remember just because the Democrats got nailed by it this time does not mean it couldn't be the Republicans next time.

Happens in EVERY election and will continue to happen in the future.

If in 1939, the FBI released a report suggesting that Nazi Germany may have broken into the Republican Party headquarters in an attempt to influence the 1940 election, Sarge would be asking "where is the crime in that"?

In 1939 the Republicans had absolutely NO CHANCE if beating FDR so it would have been a wasted effort. As to this election there is no actual evidence the Russians did anything. And even if they did it is not illegal to pass dirt on politicians.

Post the law or Regulation that makes it illegal for a 3rd party to release damaging information about a Presidential Candidate please.

These laws are called defamation laws and slander.

Slander is speaking lies.

Defamation is releasing info which you had a legal duty to keep confidential.

Each state has them.

If you want to find one yourself then google is your friend.

Just google defamation or slander and the name of the state you are interested in.

Note that there are 50 states and also several territories and DC.

Slander and defamation are always illegal (in the tort sense).

You could get your poor lame azz sued.

So you got nothing, I figured as much or when will the people that released this information be arrested and charged? LOL.

 

[leftwinger]

They did hack Trump. They waited then dumped "grab em' by pussy" recording/video.

morale of story: be squeaky clean.

 

[easyt65]

When factual info is released it isn't slander or defamation....it's just 'embarassing'.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

When factual info is released it isn't slander or defamation.

And since no one has claimed the leaks were not true ......

So you're okay with a hostile foreign power interfering in our electoral process.

Check.

Yep- as I said- Sarge would be fine with Nazi's breaking into the Republican headquarters in 1939 to try to influence the election.

Just as he doesn't care whether the Russians tried to influence the elections in 2016.

Unless we pass a law making it illegal. But to this particular case there is actually no evidence any such event occurred. No one hacked the election. All that happened was information detrimental to the Dems got released because they were to stupid to protect it.

So the Russian do this with all of our elections- and you are okay with Russians doing it again?
