Anti-Trump ‘dossier’ was all about foreign interference in a US election

When recently asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos what he would do if presented with foreign opposition research, President Trump responded: “I think you might want to listen. I don’t — there’s nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country — Norway — ‘We have information on your opponent’ — oh, I think I’d want to hear it.”

The president, of course, was wrong to be so cavalier about foreign meddling in the domestic affairs of the United States — be it by a docile Scandinavian ally or anyone else. The political firestorm that followed his ­remarks, however, is difficult to take seriously.

After all, it’s hardly a surprise that Trump lacks deftness when navigating the conventions of Washington. Everyone in the Beltway already knows that you don’t listen to foreign opposition research. No, sir. You farm out that job to the party’s ­national committee, high-powered partisan law firms and friendly media outlets.

Hypothetical is illegal. Real foreign collusion is OK. Lock her up.

.@FoxNews Polls are always bad for me. They were against Crooked Hillary also. Something weird going on at Fox. Our polls show us leading in all 17 Swing States. For the record, I didn’t spend 30 hours with @abcnews, but rather a tiny fraction of that. More Fake News @BretBaier

Have been majorly disappointed in Bret Baier at FOX. He masquerades as smart conservative, but he’s a sickening leftist, and very destructive being such. Same with Judge Napolitano, and some others. Trust only Hanna, Mark Levin, Ingraham, and most of the time Tucker Carlson...all who are honestly conservative .....wearing NO MASKS. ............,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Just finished Jerome Corsi’s new book......Silent No More. This book is a MUST READ if you really want truth!!!!💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👵🏻

In fact I think Corsi’s book SILENT NO MORE is soooo important to read that when I get my next Social Security check, I’m going to buy more books to give to my daughters!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👵🏻

Little Georgie really made an a** of himself. President Trump ran circles around him.

Why? What law did he advocate breaking?
