    for the education of the ignorant one

    during the Republican primary, a RNC donor had hired Fusion GPS (hired non-US citizen Steele)
    to dig dirt on loud-mouth Trump; and the RNC (like the Hillary campaign) reported the expenditure to the FEC.

    Trump campaign was the only one that had behaved as if it is above the law
    • not only not disclosing about their > 180 contacts w Russians, but lying about it.

    At least you finally understand the laws. Republicans and Democrats created these laws to protect our nation. If you don't like them, why don't you propose the changes?

    Russia hacked Democratic emails and released them to damage Hillary's campaign with Trump's foreknowledge or perhaps even consent. They did other things to help him win -- a social media fake news campaign and possibly funneled cash through the NRA to his campaign -- but it's not clear to me that Trump knew they were doing those things. But, it's clear he knew about the email release before it happened and didn't call the FBI about it.

    You're being disingenuous at best with these cartoons, but whatever excuse you need to paper over Trump's loathsome venality.........

    "Let me make something 100% 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. This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation. Our Founding Fathers sounded the alarm about 'foreign Interference, Intrigue, and Influence.' They knew that when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to advance their own interests, not America's. Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation. Any political campaign that receives an offer of a prohibited donation from a foreign source should report that offer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

    Don't really care what the Founding Fathers were concerned about........ that was 250 years when they owned slaves, used horse drawn carriages and believed in a bath for every season.

    Jesus Christ........ Rick Santorum is now claiming Trump is using "filler words".

    We now are at the point that we cannot trust what comes out of the President's mouth because he is not capable of basic conversational English?

    Trump said exactly what he mean't. He isn't stupid, and he knows that he has gotten away with everything he has wanted to do for 50 years. Hell yeah he will take dirt on one of his opponents and it doesn't matter if it is from a monster like Putin or China (who are REALLY getting into all time bad guy territory).

    Remember the part where trump claimed he has never called the FBI? Yea, a lie...

    Trump claimed he’s never called the FBI. He has — when he wanted its help.

    “You don’t call the FBI,” Trump said. "Life doesn’t work that way.” Except it did for Trump.

    By Aaron Blake, Washington Post
    June 13, 2019 at 12:37 PM EDT

    In the course of arguing for why he might accept foreign assistance in the 2020 election on Wednesday, President Trump dismissed the idea of calling the FBI about such things.

    “I’ll tell you what: I’ve seen a lot of things over my life,” he told ABC News. “I don’t think in my whole life I’ve ever called the FBI. In my whole life. I don’t — you don’t call the FBI. Life doesn’t work that way.”

    Except that, for Trump, it has. And he has most definitely called the FBI.

    During the 2016 election, The Post’s Robert O’Harrow reported extensively on Trump’s ties to an FBI informant and an FBI agent in the 1980s. The informant was a labor consultant with a criminal record and mob ties named Daniel Sullivan, whom Trump worked with. And through Sullivan, Trump cultivated a relationship with a young FBI agent named Walt Stowe.

    Stowe described their relationship in two days of interviews with O’Harrow, calling Trump a “professional friend.” (Trump said Stowe was a “high-quality guy” but not quite “a pal.”) And Trump sought to cash in on that friendship by cooperating with Stowe and the FBI in planning an undercover operation in one of his casinos.

    Internal FBI documents show Trump told Stowe and other agents about his concerns about opening a casino in Atlantic City, given the influence of the mob in that city in that era. Trump told them he wanted to cooperate.

    “TRUMP stated in order to show that he was willing to fully cooperate with the FBI, he suggested that they use undercover Agents within the casino,” the documents show.

    Trump soon golfed with Stowe and dined with him. He even talked about potentially hiring him one day. And then, when Trump had a problem getting a gaming license in New Jersey, he sought to cash in on the relationship.

    So he called the FBI.

    As O’Harrow reported:

    On Sept. 21, 1981, the FBI got a strange call from Trump. He said he had traveled to Trenton the previous week to meet with Mickey Brown, the director of New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement. Trump was worried about the status of his application for a casino license. Brown told Trump that everything was on track except for “one problem” that might draw out the investigation — his ties to Sullivan, according to an FBI report.

    An FBI report the next day stated that its agents “have repeatedly told TRUMP that they were not references for [Sullivan] and cannot speak for [his] business dealings.”

    It had been just five months since Sullivan showed up in Trump’s Manhattan office with two FBI agents who wanted to talk about organized crime. And Trump was already calling in favors — quite literally.

    i generally agree, but they had some good ideas (lol)

    one of these days, the idea of corrupt foreign influence is no longer relevant, but it is still very much in today world
