What’s with this?

FEC chair responds to Trump saying he’d accept foreign intel on opponent: “It is illegal”

FTA:

Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub said Thursday it is illegal to accept foreign assistance during elections after President Trump publicly suggested he would accept foreign intelligence on opponents.

“I would not have thought that I needed to say this,” Weintraub tweeted Thursday with her statement.

“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.

The thing has to have a monetary value.

Weintraub is another hack who does not really know the law.

Information does not convey value, or money.

What Trump said is just common sense, you can listen, and then evaluate.

The Dems fell right into Trump’s trap.

Every is talking about about Hillary PAYING for foreign information in an election campaign.

Poor Pelosi already is hitting the bottle this morning.

So Hillary receiving information on Trump from foreigner Christopher Steele was clearly ILLEGAL!

President Trump is a stable genius. He only thought of doing something. Hillary DID the crime. Make her pay the time.
