How many times do I have to post this...?I'm defining nothing. The law defines it."And what did Hillary hire that US firm to DO, Faun?"And what did Hillary hire that US firm to DO, Faun? Set up a smear campaign using foreign agents that they paid to create and then leak a series of dossiers? So is it your contention that because Hillary used a law firm as cover to hire Fusion GPS who then hired Richard Steele...that she's not responsible for the dossiers? Why do you think she hid what she was doing behind that law firm cut out? She didn't want anyone to figure out who paid for the dossiers until AFTER the election took place if it ever came out at all!
And once again...I've never claimed that what Hillary did was illegal...once again...it's the epitome of dirty politics done by some really sleazy people to trick the American people.
Trump asking a foreign nation to investigate possible corruption by a US politician isn't illegal! You on the left are trying to make it appear that way because Joe Biden is running for President but that's laughable! Biden doesn't get a get out of jail free card because he's running for office!
To look for dirt on Trump. There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's done legally.
"that she's not responsible for the dossiers?"
She's not responsible for hiring Steele. Fusion GPS did that.
"Why do you think she hid what she was doing behind that law firm cut out?"
She didn't hide anything. It was known that she hired Fusion GPS and that Fusion GPS hired Steele and that Steele went to the FBI.
"Trump asking a foreign nation to investigate possible corruption by a US politician isn't illegal!"
Of course it is. Campaign laws are very clear. It's illegal for Trump to solicit a foreign national to help with his campaign; which investigating a political rival does.
"Biden doesn't get a get out of jail free card because he's running for office!"
No one said he does. Only that Trump can't solicit a foreign national to hunt for dirt on Biden.
You're defining the asking of another country to investigate possible corruption as asking them to help with a campaign! In effect you're saying that no politician could ever call for an investigation of another politician or political party because that would "help" their own political future! Which is laughable because it's something that's been done by politicians of all persuasions for hundreds of years!
Giuliani associates arrested while trying to board international flight with one-way tickets, prosecutors say
Political contributors linked to Giuliani probe in Ukraine arrested on campaign finance violations
Where does the law say that it's illegal to ask another country to help investigate possible corruption by an American politician in said country? Show me that statute!
§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
By the way...the statute you cite has nothing to do with Trump's actions but the person that it applies to is Hillary Clinton and her use of "pay for play" at the State Department to encourage foreign nationals to contribute to her non profit Foundation...monies that she could then use to pay part of the salaries of people she had working for her campaign!
