    Default Does anyone support getting 'Opposition Info' from Russia, China, Israel, Saudi, ...

    "President Donald Trump said he would accept information from a foreign government or foreign nationals that would help him in the 2020 presidential election and not notify the FBI in an Oval Office interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos."
    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi..._research.html

    ... is this 'Un-American', or is this what the President of the United States should be relying on?

    ... the guy on TV said "this is like telling your 6 year old not to take candy from a stranger".

    Even Fox is reporting negatively on this story.

    "Trump's comments came just a month after he pledged not to use information stolen by foreign adversaries in his 2020 re-election campaign.

    "During a question-and-answer session with reporters in the Oval Office last month, Trump said he "would certainly agree to" that commitment."

    Biden should inform the FBI just as any other American citizen should do when a foreign adversary tries to screw with us.

    I wonder if "I will not use stolen info" and "I would accept information offered to me" could both be true?.......d'uh......

    If a Foreign Country is offering a Candidate 'information' on another Candidate, it could be to the Benefit to the Foreign Country rather than America.
    Thanks volsrock, I think you're the guy that supports MBS of Saudi Arabia after the Khashoggi killing.

    My understanding was that it was turned over to the FBI.

    But would he lol?

    Just like I consistently maintained throughout the Meeting Gate Nothing Burger *it all depends on what the dirt is*. If it involves national security—you go to the FBI. If not, use it as oppo research. Though I would try and verify.

    But you have to hear it first. What the hell is the FBI supposed to do based on such scant information, anyway?

    Any politician who says they’d go straight to the FBI after merely be approached by a foreigner with oppo research is lying.

    And anyone who believes them if they say otherwise—is simply gullible.

    Yes! It matters if the foreign information comes from STATE sources. You can be sure they are not doing that for America's benefit.
