Democrats and their cohorts in the mainstream media are upset over an interview President Donald Trump did with George Stephanopoulos. The reason? Because Trump said he wouldn't necessarily call the FBI if a country came to his campaign saying they had opposition research on his candidate. He also brought up the fact that oppo research is a common thing in politics and that every politician utilizes it to win elections.
I heard a clip of that ABC interview. When Stephanopolis asked the “what-if” question listen or turn the informant over to the FBI, the President”both.”
Then the dossier was breaking the law by the Clinton campaign?
The Daily Mail posted audio of the prank pulled last year by Vladimir “Vovan” Kuznetsov and Alexey “Lexus” Stolyarov against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
The Atlantic reported the prank last month, but The Mail story went a step further with purported audio of the joke.
...Schiff responded that “obviously we would welcome the chance to get copies.”
A rep for Schiff had earlier told The Atlantic that the call was reported to “appropriate law enforcement and security personnel” because “of our belief that it was probably bogus.”...
So where is this “report”?

Buzova “got compromising materials on Trump after their short relations,” Parubiy said. “There were pictures of naked Trump.”
Schiff betrayed no emotion. “And so Putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material?” he asked.
“Yes, of course,” Parubiy said. Putin wanted it communicated to Trump that “all those compromising materials will never be released if Trump will cancel all Russian sanctions.” The biggest bombshell: He had obtained a recording of Buzova and Sobchak talking about the kompromat while the two were visiting Ukraine. He told Schiff, “We are ready to provide [those materials] to FBI.”
...“All righty. Good, this is very helpful. I appreciate it,” Schiff said. He told Parubiy that the U.S. would welcome the chance to review the evidence he had described. “We will try to work with the FBI to figure out, along with your staff, how we can obtain copies.”
...“We leaked him a bunch of disinformation,” Stolyarov said. “It was completely absurd.” (A spokesman for Schiff said, “Before agreeing to take the call, and immediately following it, the committee informed appropriate law-enforcement and security personnel of the conversation, and of our belief that it was probably bogus.”)
Schiff clearly wanted to provide these to the Obama FIB in the sense of sharing them to broaden the scope of “Russian collusion with Trump”, not because he was approached by foreigners “With dirt”.
from the Daily Mail:
“The FBI said it could not comment on whether it received or investigated any information about nude Trump photos or other alleged Russian ‘Kompromat’ from Schiff. “
“A spokesperson for Schiff confirmed he was on the call but claimed the congressman had suspicions that the caller might not be Parubiy and reported it to law enforcement last April.
‘Both before and after the call, we were aware that it was likely bogus and had already alerted appropriate law enforcement personnel, as well as after the call,’ the spokesperson said.
‘Obviously, it was bogus - which became even more evident during the call - but as with any investigation that is global in scale, we have to chase any number of leads, many of which turn out to be duds.’
The spokesperson declined to address on the record why a staff member pursued the ‘politician’ after the call if the congressman thought it was fake.”
Audio of prank:

...Caller: They discussed many things. But the most interesting thing is they used a special password for their meetings. When they met each other they said ‘The weather is good on Deribasivska.’...
...Caller: The next part of their password was, ‘It rains again on Brighton Beach.’
Schiff: ‘It rains again on Brighton Beach.’
Caller: Yes. On that meeting, Ukupnik told Flynn that all those compromising materials will never be released if Trump will cancel all the Russian sanctions.
Schiff: Okay. Well obviously we would welcome the chance to get copies of those recordings. So we will try to work with the FBI to figure out along with your staff how we can obtain copies of those....
Schiff4brains thought he had more evidence to use against Trump.
Christopher Steele was unavailable for comment.
Thanks for explaining what POTUS was up to.
Yes, but their excuse is that they turned over the dossier to the fbi.
These people are so stupid and predictable, it’s almost not funny.
On a hypothetical, they are at full gallop. In the mean time, AG Durham is getting the goods on the activities of Italy, Britain, Australia, Ukraine, Russia, etc., helping to concoct dirt on Trump. But in all fairness to the Hillary campaign, they DID call the FBI, who used the ill-gotten dirt collected to con the FISA judge into approving surveillance!
Trump deliberately trolled them, knowing he’d get this reaction. Just in time for the boom to go down on the first targets. It’s going to be a bloodbath, and we can watch and munch popcorn, and joke about it here on Free Republic.
Did Hillary call the FIB before going to Steele?
He sure does it! and he does it for a reason! Love it!
I hope someone remembers this when Barr starts reporting the findings of his investigations.
“Why not respond with: You mean the same FBI that used democrat funded oppo research compiled by foreigners to lie to a fisa judge in order to spy on my campaign? That FBI?”
I would think it would be wise not to discuss a criminal investigation in progress with the enemy.
Of course. They had to tell her what they needed.
Really? F**k ‘em, be outraged!
If one thing Donald Trump is a master at manipulating the media. This is what he is doing now. See how this plays out.
“Just WOW, but these people are pig-fornicatingly stupid. “
Yep.
Why did he ever allow that rat faced gerbil into his office for an interview one on one in the first place. I notice the interview was edited a tad too. The news headline on ABC announced that Trump seemed annoyed by the recent polling showing he was behind the dems. I did not notice that in the actual aired portion of the interview. The gerbil pestered him with questions about trivial issues, this one being the most trivial. Interesting this should come up the exact moment that Trump Jr. was being “questioned” by Burr’s committee about the same issue i.e. the meeting at Trump Tower.
This is the greatest take down of a president by a cabal of the deep state, media and the opposition party EVER. I am tired of witnessing it. When does the actual counter attack begin??
HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA... HA...
Bunch of dumb-azzes.... should prolly go ahead and off themselves to save US some coin.
He’s getting them on record first opposing what they were doing.
One they oppose getting dirt from foreigners, he’ll slam them with dirt created by dems through the use of foreigners.
They get triggered by the sun rising in the mornings.
Like the 40%+ of the voters who slop their “news” up.
