Just fascinating comments!
How about using that foreign opposition research to get a FISA warrant to literally SPY on a presidential campaign of the current President’s political party’s opposition?
And then using information for the warrant when you know the allegations in such research are bogus, without telling the judge all those facts?
from the link:
.................
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the impeachment of President Donald Trump is “absolutely” warranted in an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Thursday. McCabe denounced Trump, saying there is a difference between taking information acquired “illegally” from “representatives” of a hostile foreign government while defending Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as CNN’s Chris Cuomo put it, “paying Russians for information to amass a dossier.”
“Does the argument that, yes, OK, you shouldn’t have Russians giving you anything and you shouldn’t have been paying Russians for information to amass a dossier the way Clinton did — do you see these as analogs?” Cuomo asked McCabe.
“Not at all, Chris. There’s no equivalence between those two examples,” McCabe responded. “To openly invite foreign intelligence officers, representatives from a hostile foreign government to steal information, to acquire opposition research in anyway, in any illegal way that they might do that and to present it to you is one thing.”
“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,” McCabe emphasized.
McCabe also commended British operative Christopher Steele for informing them of his dossier because “he was so troubled.”
“The example of the Clinton campaign, it was that very foreign individual who stepped forward and provided the information he had collected to the FBI simply because he was so troubled by what he was seeing,” he said.
“Absolutely,” McCabe said of a Trump impeachment inquiry. “Chris, I’m not a political person. I’m not a political operative. I respect the House leadership and the fact that they maybe considering, you know, a lot of polls and political strategy in the way they’re figuring out what to do next. That’s not my business.”

Here it is boys and girls last ditch effort to save the fisa warrant.Goes something like this: if Trump does something it’s illegal but if Hillary does it it’s OK.If the left didn’t have a double standard they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
