Foreign national: Steele. Former MI-6 agent.

Steele used Russian sources, several of whom were current Russian government officials.

Hillary didn’t just listen, she PAID for the information.

“So have they arrested Hillary yet”?

Funny how the laws only work in one direction, isn’t it?

Agreed. This language is clearly referring to Bribery involving items of monetary value, no matter how small; and not information.

>>Oh, so accepting intel on compromising candidate behavior from a British spy would be illegal then, you’re saying?<<

Yep, same as meeting with Ukrainian government officials to get dirt.

That’s exactly what she’s saying.
Trump played the rat party big time.

Pelosi said it was illegal
Schummer said it
Nader said it.
The FEC said it.

Now Barr can go after Clinton and the rat party cannot oppose it. Good job Mr Trump and thanks ABC Stephonopolis

“Let me make something 100 percent clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election,” Weintraub said...

“...except for Hillary Clinton and democrats.”

Fixed.

What would have been worse? Trump minding his own business, when out of the blue, some Russian knocks on his door, tells him she has info on Hillary, and is told by Trump that he’s not interested,

OR

Trump is sitting at his desk, calls in one of his staff and tells them to make contact with a Russian spy and set up a meeting and at the meeting tells the Russian spy that he’ll pay her for any dirt she can find on Hillary.

Yeah, I thought so.

So does this mean they will be bringing charges against Hillary?

At this point should they FEC have a choice in the matter?

So, unless political information doesn’t come from domestic sources and isn’t filtered by the Democratic Party approved media it is illegal to know? And the filter increasingly extends to online acquired information. Why are people so afraid of information, despite the source? Could it be that the message of the elites cannot hold up to scrutiny? After all, they pay huge amounts of money to the corrupt media to get their message out while Trump communicates directly to the people.

Trump’s funny. He goes out, whacks a hornet’s nest over foreign intel during an election campaign.

Now, sit back and watch what gets rolled out before the various leftist ninnies come down out of a tizzy.

Dossier. Hillary.

Hmmm....so you cannot listen to a story or gossip about a political opponent from a foreigner?

Then gosh....I guess Hillary is in deep doodoo considering Christopher Steele whom her campaign hired to dig up dirt on Trump is....a foreigner.

Right?

Information has a monetary value. Billions is spent on it.
