So it`s LEGAL to PAY for Foreign influence but ILLEGAL to listen to any non-citizen gossip to you !?
Look! It’s a mental pretzel!

McCain is dead, so I bequeath the term “McTurd” to McCabe.
Shut up McTurd. You’re going to prison.
So it is OK to use a foreign agent’s information as long as you go through a middleman so as to get plausible deniability.
It’s just illegal to read it, apparently.
The left is slowly realizing Trump trolled them into agreeing with him on Hillary Clinton and the illegal origins of the Mueller investigation.
Its so infuriating that this ass is still free and not in jail. I guess criminal referrals from the IG are worthless.
Coming attractions for the rest Im sure...
No don’t you see it makes perfect sense - if you hire a foreign spy agency to do your dirty work it’s perfectly legal because they’re working in your interests. But if that same foreign spy agency gives you information than they’re trying to influence you!
No... wait.. they’re violating campaign finance law with illegal donations.. yeah, that’s the ticket.
Whatever it takes to defeat those infernal republicans!!
Time to take out the trash
It is truly remarkable how the media and the Left have pulled this off again, starting with a reliable old standby, George Stephanopoulos. Why the President would grant an ‘interview’ with him - an operative of one his chief political opponents - is beyond me. It is quite clear that the narrative in the aftermath, even competing news organizations seemingly promoting their competition in order to run with it, that this was pre-planned and orchestrated - the interview was designed to get the President to comment on foreign interference in the election, and then portray it no matter the context as him welcoming foreign governments interfering in our elections to create another artificial and massive scandal to ‘prove’ the President’s corruption - and the narrative is and will be that while some of the things that went on the with Steele document may have been questionable, “the President has already admitted to far worse himself” - therefore, this whole thing was planned to try to neutralize any negative blowback from the results of the current investigation into the origins of the bogus Russian Collusion investigation.
The President should have never granted an interview with the likes of Stephanopoulos. He has been the ring leader of starting things like this before - such as in 2012 where he started the narrative that Republicans planned to ban all birth control if they won.
Sedition is still illegal.
Up is down and down is up. What is good is bad and what is bad is good. Welcome to the liberals modern world.
If we do it for the 'right reasons and the right side' it's OK, if the bad guys do it, it is jail time.
I'm starting to believe that this culture of corruption is rampant through both the fbi and the doj, top to bottom.
I think the exception is the 'clean' agent and they are staying silent to protect their own pension.
Hannity is full of shit with his 99.9% statement about the holiness of the fbi, because his mother was a jail keeper and his cousin was a fbi agent.
When we will get justice?
same logic isn't it?
Knowing how he and Comey corrupted Obama’s FBI, do you think McCabe would recommend that Biden turn over to “Trump’s FBI” any opposition research dropped in his lap from another country?
McCabe is corrupt, but he isn't an idiot, although he acts like he is. He and his fellow travelers are still claiming that Trump's joke about Russia finding Hillary's missing emails (missing from servers that the FBI had at the time) was somehow an actual request to the Russian government.
But Steele, Halper, Mifsud weren’t just ANY individuals.
They were known spies.
Now, Mr. McCabe, is it illegal to contract out oppo research to foreign governments?
I thought McCabe was in jail!?!?!?!?!?!?
I heard this on the radio and burst out laughing.
“An AMERICAN firm (the DNC) contracts with an AMERICAN lawyer (activist firm Perkins Coie) who subcontracts to a research firm owned by an AMERICAN (Fusion, Glenn Simpson), who happens to subcontract to a foreign expert (Steele).”
In other words, run your pre-determined dirt through enough cutouts, and its completely different than listening to someone who calls you out of the blue. Because, money is patriotically sprayed around to the cutouts, who are AMERICAN. As if the whole thing wasn’t known and planned in advance, because we know from WikiLeaks that Hillary was running the DNC, because she was funding it, and had contracted with them to have near complete control through her puppet Debbie Wasserman.
This guy McCabe must be great at delivering joke straight-lines.
Also, according to this “theory,” Donald Jr. was completely in the wrong, because he listened to Velitskaya, who came to him out of the blue (although she met with Fusion before and after the meeting).
And I thought DC Comics Bizarro world was strange back in the day!
