    It is disgusting and shocking, but not at all surprising. The man is amoral and doesn't care about the country. He only cares about himself.

    It is not at all what Clinton did. She did not accept help from a foreign government to get elected. That was Trump, as detailed in the Mueller report.

    And now he has invited foreign governments to interfere again.

    If Hillary can pay a foreign source to help her I do not see any problem. Looks like the dems will be pulling dirty tricks again.

    If you can't see the difference between inviting foreign GOVERNMENTS to dig up dirt, and commissioning opposition research in the US that follows a trail to another country, I despair.

    Come off the fence. Do you support what he says? Because anyone who does is anti-American.

    Well, I've asked a few times. You have repeatedly refused to answer the question.

    Here is what Trump said:

    He has just invited foreign governments to get involved in American elections by digging up and offering information to candidates that they support.

    Anyone who supports what Trump said is un-American and un-patriotic. More than that. Anti-American.

    Yes or no: do you support what he said?

    And if they'd gotten that info from the KGB I think most Dems would have a problem with it.

    That IS where Trump got the info being discussed from, the KGB or whatever it's called now. Oh, and the info was OBTAINED ILLEGALLY, Thus we have TWO illegal acts here.

    The Steele Dossier was done by some guy named Steele who was acting in a private capacity. He was basically a hired private investigator. Hiring PI's to investigate your political opponents is not very nice but it's not illegal. Taking info from fracking SPIES is, and it's possibly treasonous to boot.

    But what do Republicans care? They've made it clear every day in every way since Nov 2016 that they hate this country, everything it stands for, and intend to overthrow it completely if they can, why should they quail at treason and stealing the election in the first place?

    Baseless allegations?

    Sorry, but even though Fox NOise and your favorite AM radio hosts all denied or tried to minimize the dozens of stories about the Trump campaign, close associate and relatives, and their almost routine contact and attempts to coordinate the campaign with the Russian disinformation campaign, they are all now documented fact.

    Many of them are attested to by the participants themselves.

    On the other hand, multiple investigations of Benghazi and Clinton, turned up far more smoke than fire.

    But this thread is not about Clinton.

    This is the third time in less than 24 hours that I have had to point that out to a Trumpster.

    For four years, Trumpsters standard , nad very predictable answer to anything about their fool’s gold fuhrer is to try and derail the thread and make it about Clinton (or Obama).

    It’s tiresome, predictable, boring and pointless.

    The subject at hand is the most corrupt, self serving, vulgar and incompetent President the United States has ever had; the man you’re serving up attempts at deflect attention away from.

    Meanwhile, China owns Biden and some other top Democrats with one of them who has no trouble letting a Chinese spy listen in for 20 years.

    A private phone call to Putin was all Trump needed to do if he was asking Russia to provide information on opposition candidates. I found his remarks refreshing as we all know most candidates would do the same thing but publicly would deny they would. He also said if he found the information troubling he would report it to the FBI. My advice to candidates is stay clean and prevent a foreign government from getting dirt on them that could be used to blackmail someone.

    You’re talking to a Trumpster, and denial and hypocrisy are their tools.

    He isn’t going to answer your question because Trump is all but pleading guilty. He has made it clear that he will gladly betray his country to any comer who will help him win, no matter who it is. And he has never called the FBI in his life.

    At this point, Trump supporters are going to cling to their rote attempts to deflect to Obama and Clinton.

    It’s the only thing they have.

    Why a private phone call, when you have Roger Stone?

    He’s the one who insured that Moscow’s man, Paul Manafort was installed as Trump’s campaign manager.

    Shortly after that, we find that one of Trump’s “senior foreign policy advisors” (Trump’s own words), had been previously approached by the Russian FSB about spying for them.

    A year and a half later, we learn about how one of his other “senior foreign policy advisors” got drunk in a bar and told an Australian diplomat that he had been told by a Russian cut out that Russia had been the hackers behind the DNC hack.

    Then there’s Michael Flynn, not to mention Erik Prince (we’re going to hear more about him, George Nader and Eliot Broidy before this is all over).

    Your right she didn't accept it she paid for it and your accepting it. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    I will answer yes
    I support what trump said because those are the rules that your side created and accepts so if your going to play the game you play by the same rules as your opponent
    Now that I answered you do the same do you condemn Clinton for doing exactly what you condemning Trump for saying what he might do and that is accepting dirt from a foreign government on your opponent
    and if you deny that is what Clinton did don't bother answering its pointless to try to have a discussion with another that won't even accept realty truth and facts

    Trump can say he is thinking about it and lefties have a fit yet Hillary actually screwed Bernie over and they are fine with it.

    They don't care. They have no interest in the rule of law.

    The only issue legally would be not reporting it to the FBI but even then anyone can talk to a Russian. It isn't against the law.
