    Default Interesting how the right has nothing to say about Trump's attempt to pressure

    foreign entities to become involved in American politics.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...on-eight-times

    Why not, anybody in the world saw getting knee deep didn't have any negative consequences in 2016, and they know fully well now that billy barr is Trump's stooge so he ain't going do anything, so what is stopping any of Trump's autocratic buddies from jumping in full force. As we see here, Trump wants them aboard, imagine what he has said to those that won't have to be pressured to aid him in 2020?

    And of course none of the Trumpkins see no problem in any of this, probably Executive Privilege, but it is exactly one of the things the Founding Fathers warned against

    This is beautiful, now "quid pro quo" is the bottom line, for ten years the right has concocted all kinds of conspiracies based solely upon inneundo but now proven "quid pro quo" is their measuring stick

    Trump, as President, attempted to pressure a foreign leader to get dirt on a potential political rival, in other words getting a foreign entity involved in our election, and that's all copacetic to the right.

    Wonder what happens if Trump asks little Rocket Man and Putin to help him out.

    All of a sudden, the Righties are welcoming Foreign interference in American Elections. Let the other 176 countries all weigh in on who becomes America's President. (I'm guessing there will be a Big Payoff for those that help the Most)

    I think that falls under the Heading; 'It's OK if we do it to others, but not others do it to us'.

    Would 250 million in Aid be a 'quid pro quo'?

    Oh, so there is nothing wrong with Trump dialing up Little Rocket Man and asking him to help him out with his upcoming election? Probably already has along with the rest of his autocratic buddies

    The President of the United States asking, or in this case, directly pressuring a foreign nation to get involved in our election by finding dirt on a potential political rival is wrong, and the "he didn't break any laws," the "quid pro quo" garbage doesn't fly here
