    Is that the same Al Gore that got the 55k from the Chinese Buddhist Temple luncheon? In that case he was getting more than info from the Chinese government.

    There is very little President doesn't understand. He was being completely candid and honest when he said if a foreign leader or person called him up he would listen. And if it was something 'bad', he would turn it over probably to the FBI--translation, appropriate authority. The Trump Tower meeting didn't produce a single syllable of information about anything so there was nothing to turn over to anybody.

    Everybody single media person and congressperson and bureaucrat in Washington would take that call and would listen. Most of them who have been around for any time have from time to time. Hillary and the DNC actually solicited and paid for information from a foreign entity, and as much as the Trump haters want to sugar coat that, you can't tell me or any reasonable person that they didn't know what they were paying for. John McCain was so eager to see the so-called Steele Dossier, it was reported that he send an aide to London to get a copy and then turned that over to James Comey.

    They are all a bunch of hypocrites and trying to characterize that one statement into something it was not is hateful and wrong.

    As always, you did not read what I say and just created your own narrative. Just because you keep you head buried in the sand and only pop up when there is a negative narrative to spread against conservatives, that does not mean it does not happen.

    I also like the fact that you feel that anybody that does not support or defend your narrative is a "Trumpster". I despise the man, however, I am not so blind to partisan politics that I can not see things for what they are.

    I never once said or implied that “they all do it”, therefore it is ok. If you actually were able to comprehend what I wrote, you would see that I flat out said I had issues with others doing it as well. I also specifically said that there was "little doubt in my mind" on whether the other groups did it. That would imply that I might not have factual information that it is done, but I suspect that it is.

    However, if you do want facts, it IS a fact that the RNC and HC did pay a entity (Fusion GPS) to dig up political dirt and that entity used foreign spies to obtain the information. It is also a fact that a news media organization (The Washington Free Beacon) did the same, but the information they garnered was public information (though whether that was intentional is anybodies guess).

    Trump now trying to weasel out of his admitting that he'd violate the law and allow hostile foreign nations to assist him in a US political campaign is amusing.

    Note that no reputable source is reporting it the way that you're disingenuously claiming:

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/13/politics/fact-check-trump-fbi-schiff-warner/index.html

    "But in the audio, which was first reported by The Atlantic last year, Schiff tells the caller he's going to speak to the FBI and encourages the official to do the same. "I'll be in touch with the FBI about this. And we'll make arrangements with your staff. I think it probably would be best to provide these materials both to our committee and to the FBI," Schiff says."

    Shame on you for trying to equate 2 very distinct scenarios.

    Yet another example of a Trumpster blindly repeating some trash from a right wing trash blog.

    you just lost the argument if you consider CNN a reputable source

    so if Schiff was going to contact the FBI why did he arrange to send his aids to retrieve the information and not the FBI? Is it because he wanted to see the dirt before he contacted the FBI thinking he might never see it if the FBI got it first
    And do we have any proof that Schiff contacted the FBI or is it all we have is his word saying he would?

    Weren't we talking earlier of paid stooges who infest these boards occasionally, just like BLM and Antifa can suddenly infest the streets? Then, like Occupy Wall Street and the others, they disappear again when they stop being paid by George Soros and other clandestine figures.

    Some of the opinions here are just too stupid for normal people to make unless they're being paid to make them.

    When have prosecutors announced that they could not prove someone innocent so they must be guilty. Is that how you want our system of justice to operate?

    Speaking of false claims. Steele was hired to get Russian info after that.

    There are some very political people on 'the other side' and they'll use their witless followers like the sheep they are. Luckily these ideologically handicapped people make up only 28% or so of the population, thereby making them easy to expose in situations like this. Like millions of others, as in the run-up to the last Presidential election, you won't know you've been had until it's all over.

    Trump speaks in a low tone because the Trumpettes are too old to hear in the upper register anymore.

    The numbers are unlikely to change until there is an honest media and non ideological educational systems in place. Right now they're almost all left and want to turn the most successful country in history into a socialist backwater. All people like Bernie Sanders has to do is call Socialism 'Democratic Socialism' and Los Stupidos buy into it. Even Bernie must have trouble keeping a straight face sometimes.

    Yes, that's probably it. Those dog whistles are only heard by leftists. That seems plausible.

    Yes.

    Agreed. When Bonespurs accepts help from a hostile foreign power, he tries to hide it and obstruct investigations into it. When Adam Schiff receives a bullshit call from "Ukrainians", he tells them that he'll report it to the FBI for the FBI to investigate.

    Trumpers claim that Bonespurs did nothing wrong, while sobbing and crying about Schiff's well-considered response to the situation.

    Sickening.

    So Schiff taking the call is a good thing and Trump taking the call is treasonous?

    You just totally contradicted your self.

    That is a different issue. This is about accepting information from a foreign source to use to influence an election which not only did the Clinton campaign and DNC do the sought out and paid for it.

    So are you saying that if the candidate seeks out and pays for dirt on their opponent from foreign sources that is OK but if a foreign source dumps it on a campaign our of nowhere that is illegal?

    What specific information was given to the Trump campaign by a foreign source that was not already known by others? How did the Trump campaign use that information and AGAIN the Clinton campaign and DNC sought out such information and PAID for it.
