"The FEC has always limited "a thing of value" to something tangible."I didn't argue anything of the sort, you moron homosexual. The FEC has always limited "a thing of value" to something tangible. Information has never been considered a thing of value. Even volunteering your services is not considered a thing of value. Should Komrade Schiff go to prison because leftwing lawyers helped this so-called "whistleblower?" According to you, that's a campaign contribution.You're inferring a conclusion. Your inferences are worthless in a court of law. Meanwhile you imagine Biden didn't do anything.Suuure, uh-huh. Words actually do have meaning, even if you don't know what that meaning is...Pure speculation and subjectivism.
though means but, however, nevertheless or in spite of.
yeah, the Ukrainians were definitely made to understand that cooperation with the US was held back until the 'corruption cases' (read Trump's baseless Crowdstrike and Biden conspiracies) investigations were complete.
Here's the Ukraine's summary of the call with Trump BEFORE the whistleblower complaint was publicly known.
"Donald Trump expressed his conviction that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve Ukraine’s image and complete the investigation of corruption cases that have held back cooperation between the Ukraine and the United States."
But US cooperation being held back until the 'corruption' investigations were complete was completely subjective, huh? Odd then that the Ukrainians got that exact message.
I mean, think of the odds! Apparently, 1 in 1.
You are clearly suffering from brain damage.
You just argued that ONLY foreign donations are restricted in the solicitation prohibitions.
That's not what the FEC says. The FEC has never limited 'things of value' to donations. Nor does the FEC in its latest statement.
That would be you insisting that only donations are 'things of value'.
And as we've established, you know jack shit about the law.
The problem with boneheads like you is that you never consider the implications of your daft legal theories in the real world.
Fucking moron, a service is a thing of value.
