WAIT !

So it`s LEGAL to PAY for Foreign influence but ILLEGAL to listen to any non-citizen gossip to you !?

[Sacajaweau]

Hiring a foreign power....is treason when it’s used to take down a President...OR President elect.

[Savage Beast]

Apparently McCabe has a problem knowing what’s legal and what isn’t.

[Savage Beast]

Is McCabe a lawyer.

[eyeamok]

It’s only Legal if you Commit Felony Money Laundering in the process.

[montag813]

Can you imagine Biden trying to bring this up in a debate. Trump would reduce him to a brown puddle on his chair.

[lastchance]

Sure. After all gossip might not be reliable.

“For a campaign to hire a law firm, an American law firm who then turns around and hires an American research company that then contracts out with a foreign individual, that is not illegal,”

Actually, it is illegal. They were all aware of the arrangement. Therfor it is criminal conspiracy.

[Titus-Maximus]

Liar McCabe is doing mental gymnastics trying to prove this hogwash.

I cannot watch CNN. It’s a waste of eyesight.

Cuomo is the biggest fraud, he and his brother.

[Kid Shelleen]

It is a straw man argument since Trump did neither. He was only responding to a hypothetical question from Smurfphanopoulos.

[CincyRichieRich]

If PDJT has goods on these commies I wish he’d use it and stop saving it up...if he doesn’t and they have all the cards, then that sucks.

[VanShuyten]

“Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the impeachment of President Donald Trump is “absolutely” warranted ....”

This guy sounds pretty nervous. I’d bet just a few turns of the screw and he’ll be singing like a canary.

[Maris Crane]

Here’s a thought:

DOESN’T IT HAVE TO BE VERIFIED...YES, VERIFIED before anyone can do anything.

McCabe forgot about that part.

• Paying for opposition "research" is not illegal.
• Paying foreigners for opposition "research" is not illegal.
• Receiving opposition research from foreigners is not illegal.
• Making up slanderous accusations and giving it to anyone foreign or not is illegal.
• Using opposition research that has not been verified to obtain a FISA warrant is illegal.
• Withholding relevant information from the judge is illegal. Doubly so when you know it was paid for by a competing campaign, and that the source was not trustworthy.

[Captain Compassion]

If this is so then Trump should advertise in foreign media to pay for dirt on his political opponents.

[spintreebob]

Several Hollywood movies alleging based on real life stories, and mixed citizenship campaign staffs and accept foreign oppo as a matter of course.

[bgill]

Best to keep my mouth shut.

[YogicCowboy]

Legal for Federal employees?

[kiryandil]

Skin that impeachment smokewagon, McCabe, and see what happens.

Go on, skin it!

[trebb]

Yep - he’s in fear mode because Trump trolled them and got them up in arms over his words about the possibility of listening .... after they went in neck deep with actual actions....when the fear freezes the mind, the insane seems like a rational out for the guilty...like the old “Yes yer Honor, my clients did kill their parents and burn their house down, but they should be forgiven because they’re homeless orphans” defense.

[Cboldt]

McCabe is transmogrifying Trump's campaign joke "Hey Russia, maybe you can help Hillary find her emails" into an illegal offer. It's ludicrous, but this is what passes for reasoned and righteous accusation among the commentariet and FBI.

Be careful what you say ;-) Our disgrace of a federal government doesn't take kindly to ridicule.
