You've got to hand it him. This was pure genius. It is a thing of beauty. In an interview with Clinton water boy George Stephanopoulos Donald Trump made some entertaining comments:
President Donald Trump is not ruling out receiving dirt from foreign agents in the future and doesn’t necessarily think he needs to notify the FBI if such information were offered.And if offered such dirt?Trump’s comments came during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
Trump had just noted that when the Mueller report came out, they hardly even talked about his son, Donald Trump Jr.
“Should he have gone to the FBI when he got that email?” Stephanopoulos asked.
Trump replied: “Okay, let’s put yourself in a position. You’re a congressman, somebody comes up and says, ‘hey, I have information on your opponent,’ do you call the FBI? I don’t think …”
Stephanopoulos then stressed that if it’s Russians you do.
“I’ll tell you what, I’ve seen a lot of things over my life,” he said. “I don’t think in my whole life I’ve ever called the FBI. In my whole life. You don’t call the FBI.”
He also insisted it was not election interference.Well, he set the left ablaze with indignation and self-righteousness:“It’s not interference. They have information. I think I’d take it,” the president said, before suggesting it was oppo research.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unleashed on President Donald Trump for his comments on accepting election assistance from foreign countries, with Pelosi saying Trump didn’t know “right from wrong.”CNN's John Avlon was apoplectic:Trump told ABC News that he would be open to receiving foreign intelligence on election opponents.
“It’s not interference. They have information. I think I’d take it,” the president said, before suggesting it was opposition research.
“What the president said last night shows clearly once again over and over again that he does not know the difference between right and wrong,” Pelosi said. “And that’s probably the nicest thing I can say about him.”
“If he doesn’t know the difference, it could explain some of this ridiculous behavior,” Pelosi said.
Avlon noted “in Washington’s farewell address he warned ‘history and experience teach us that foreign influence is the foe of Republican government.'” He then added how Alexander Hamilton talked in Federalist Paper #68 about the “danger of foreign influence elevating someone to the executive.” “Also, Adams and Jefferson wrote about it. This is basic.”The moronic Steve Cohen about blew out an artery:“What Donald Trump did was the Founding Fathers’ worst nightmare,” Avlon concluded.
Cohen further speculated that Trump would then try to explain away his actions by saying all members of Congress do oppo research when in reality no member of Congress has likely been offered up oppo research by a foreign entity.They threw Trump right into the briar patch. Right where he wanted to be. They missed something yuge.“He’s so wacko,” Cohen fumed. “Last week, it was go to Mars and forget the Moon. A month ago, it was go to the Moon.”

Everyone is going nuts. The Trump thumped them. They want news? They got news...
I just don’t understand how this was not immediately obvious to all.
What stopped you from posting it here?
I think Trump also realizes that all of the outrage his comment generated on the left, due to a hypothetical, applies double to the real-world infractions committed by their side. He set them up, and it’s beautiful. They will no longer be able to credibly ignore what was done in the “Russia probe.”
I watched Speaker, Pelosi today. The poor woman looks like a dryed out witch and talks the same blabber & gibberish. She no more belongs as the Speaker of the House, the I belong on the Moon dining on Swiss Cheese! Case closed!!!
Are you at one of those LGBT clinics again where they wont let you post your blog?
We'll be cheering for you, get better soon.
They are going NUTS because President Trump told the TRUTH..I mean honestly who would NOT take info from anyone, I dont care who it is, about the opposition. ANYONE that says they would refuse the info against their opponent is a damn liar. They may say on TV they wont do it but yeah they would..of course they would..the Dems would do it in a heartbeat, heck they already did(With Christopher Steele) but that is OK when they do it..come on, I would do it, you wouldn’t have to ask me twice
Hasn’t anyone ever heard of “Omerta”??
It’s just common sense. Why would you alert the FBI when something illegal is benefiting YOU?
Exactly! Who needs laws? We’re not a nation of laws we’re a nation of ruthless power that knows no constraints!
If the Red Chicoms or Ukraine dishes dirt on Hunter Biden getting rich. I’m for it.
Democrats are in another panic because of it.
“She no more belongs as the Speaker of the House”
Soon she’ll be Drooler Of The House.
Maybe, but next to RBG, she’s but a child.
“This is what hillary clinton and the DNC did to Trump in the 2016 election.”
Possibly this is all she did, but I suspect there’s more. Because Hillary always goes too far. I suspect they actually wrote the whole report and that’s why it had to be flushed thru the foreign intelligence services, then passed onto the FBI.
She already is a drooler. The woman is in a confused state of mind....100% of the time. My goodness she is barely coherent!!!
If you REALLY don’t want foreign interference in our elections, demand that everyone who casts a ballot show proof of US citizenship.
If they aren’t US citizens, they are foreigners, right? Foreigners voting is interference, right?
They will never learn. Either the story about old dogs is true, ... or they are just stupid.
All of a sudden the state media just love love love the founding fathers LOL
Setting up the prosecutions to come. Sometimes you give a little, to get a lot. Lol. We have Pelosi’s idiotic comments now on the record. Cha ching.
