    https://news.yahoo.com/what-is-the-s...191857892.html

    “Experts we spoke to described a range of differences between the type of information Trump said he would accept and what Clinton’s campaign was paying Fusion GPS for.
    The main difference is the role of a foreign government.
    "Working hand-in-hand with a foreign power for information intended to influence an election is different than hiring a private firm that then hired somebody who had been a former intelligence agent," said Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law.
    "Everybody does opposition research," she added. "The issue here is the foreign government."
    “While Russia’s meddling was intended to help Trump win, Steele was contracted by Fusion GPS to find out more about Trump’s ties to Russia. "That has nothing to do with a candidate soliciting something from a foreign power," former CIA intelligence agent Glenn Carle said.
    "One is collecting intelligence and the other is an active measure by a foreign power to achieve a political end of some sort," Carle said. "There’s no comparison at all."”

    https://www.politifact.com/punditfac...view-and-why-/

    "While it is illegal to accept contributions from foreign nationals for political campaigns (as Trump suggested he would do), “paying a foreign national fair market value for opposition research is generally not illegal,” as former chief counsel for the Federal Election Commission Lawrence Noble told The Washington Post. “It is considered a commercial transaction, which is not a contribution.”

    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 US election," she said in a statement.

    Sure, but Obama didn't collude with Putin to win his elections.

    this is just a red herring to try to frame this as a campaign finance issue, which it is not.

    No, he said indicting Trump was never an option because we can't indict a sitting president.
    And while there is no smoking gun, it's more than obvious that Trump colluded with Russia. Is it really not enough that he recently admitted he would if a foreign government offered?

    I didn’t say it was a financial contribution, illiterate fuck. Receiving info like Junior did was receiving “something of value”.

    Look up the definition of “contribution” in the federal code, dumbfuck. Then get back to me.

    Try to brush up on your comprehension skills, stupid fuck.

    Illiterates of your level don’t know the difference.

    Still lying? Mueller stated precisely what i stated.

    And for the 1900000th time. The DoJ ruling does not prevent mueller reaching a conclusion on obstruction as he clearly reached a conclusion on conspiracy and coordination.

    Amen to that; but I assure you this idiot will post it another million times because he really is mentally retarded.
