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."

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

 

[Jack]

Anybody on Red Team care to justify this?

 

[Jack]

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

 

[volsrock]

of course we should take info

if someone from those u stated came to Biden with info that Trump paid Putin 100 mill to help him get elected. Should Biden tell them to go pound sand and he didnt want the info?

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.

how is info stolen?

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

how is info stolen?

Ask your masters at Fox; it's their quote.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

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.

Where's your admonishment of Dems and the "Steele Dossier" Jack? Link us up.

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

You mean like Hillary did when her and the DNC commissioned the Steele Dossier?

 

[Darth Omar]

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.

Isnt that what Trump said!!!!!

During an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, Trump was asked whether his campaign would accept information from foreign governments in this upcoming election or turn it over to the FBI.

"I think maybe you do both,"

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...abc-take-foreign-info-2020-rivals/1438670001/

and how is giving info screwing with us?

if your neighbor tells you your wife, has a man visiting her everyday while u are at work and u might want to check it out. they would be screwing with you or giving u info u would want to know about

Would the information be true ... or false?

Does not matter if the info is true or false, you would still want to check into it!


if your neighbor tells you her 12 year old who is friends with your 12 yo daughter told her that your daughter told her daughter that a teacher at school was messing with her

Does not matter if the info is true or false, you would still want to check into it!

 

[volsrock]

Lets say Germany in 1935 held fair elections. The USA or Russia gave Hitlers opponent in the election info that Hitler was planing the Holocaust. I guess his opponent should tell them to stuff it up their ass he didn't want to know about the info

Now keep in mind no one at the time knows if the Holocaust info is true or false

 

[Jack]

Multiply that by a hundred times. Would the 'information' be helpful?
