Well how the Hell can it be illegal when Hillary Clinton did exactly that and remains free?

Would it also be illegal to READ a foreign newspaper article written by a foreigner that made accusations against an American political candidate?

If it is information that is received, any prohibition would be a violation of our free-speech rights.

He just got her to say this is illegal.

This will come in handy prosecuting the coup traitors.

This is a political act by the fcc chair, she is using her office to push a political agenda. Has the fcc ever put out a statement like this before, one that targets a hypothetical question/answer by a sitting POTUS, NO. The whole fricking government is so corrupt.

Communicating information with another person regardless of their country of origin during an election or any other time is protected by the First Amendment. What if the information was that the opponent was a foreign agent and it could be verified? Wouldn’t we want to know this before electing them? The election laws are intended to prevent foreign bribery either in cash or other “things of value” like airplane flights or hotel bills. A good example was when Bill Clinton’s campaign illegally received millions of dollars from China that were laundered through Chinese-American proxy donors. He was forced to return the money and report to prison as I remember. Or maybe not...

I am lazy and will not read the responses so this may have been covered:

Trump should have answered it this way -

Well George, if I just listened to what they had to say and did not ask for the information would that be as bad as....

Asking Italy to spy on Kamala Harris?

Asking the British to spy on Biden and his family?

Asking my hired agent to obtain oppo research from Russians?

or how about if I asked the Ukraine for dirt on Tony Podesta?

I mean just listening to them would not be as bad as if I asked my FBI to wiretap Elizabeth Warren’s campaign.... would it George?

It’s too bad that the FEC doesn’t bother to consider the donations to the Democrat party that social media sites provide in free service every time they ban, block, suspend or shut down a Conservative social media account. They are providing a valuable service to the Democrat Party, which the DNC would otherwise have to pay for. There is no equal time for Republicans on social media.

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.

That is an outright lie. All permanent residents can donate to political campaigns, just like citizens can.

This person is a freaking idiot.

Trump, expert troller, just got the “swamp” to admit for the record that what the Obama administration did in 2016 was illegal.
