Listening to information is not the same as acting upon it.
There is no law mandating you have to go to the FBI about ‘dirt’ unless it’s about a bribe, or some national security issue. Maybe we should make a law, and create a Federal Bureau of Dirt (FBD).
Why would you do one if you had no intent of doing the other?
“Listening to information is not the same as acting upon it.”
Exactly. Listening to what someone has to say and then making a decision based on what you have heard is a normal thing to do. President Trump said he might go to the FBI. IMHO this is a non story.
