Very different psychological behavior than your average Joe going out to hunt animals for food or to control the deer population. It's a sick psychology and seems to be a thing with the idle rich.
I don’t like that either, but how different is it really than allowing hunters to go feed deer so they’ll be coming back during hunting season? I always found it weird, but I grew up in an all female household and we couldn’t afford to hunt anyway. I still don’t think it equals what Uday and Qusay did. The animals were history the moment they were purchased for those exotic hunting ranches. But it’s not rape rooms or torture.

It’s interesting to see Trumps idea of double standards what others do are illegal but for him he’s beyond above the law.

The law has been quoted in this thread more then once.

However, you can also view the applicable federal law here on the U.S. government website:

[USC04] 52 USC 30121: Contributions and donations by foreign nationals)

Other posters have already debunked the B.S. in your post.

But I will just note that in 2000 the Gore Campaign received a stolen debate prep book from the Bush campaign. It was immediately turned into the FBI by the Gore campaign.

That is how honorable people behave. The Trump family are total douche bags and they are traitors.

I still believe this story was the one that was supposed to get Trump to step down last year. Now they are bringing it back. Do people really believe Don Jr was the mastermind of the whole Russia collusion narrative. They still have nothing
Not old news.

Published Aug. 4, 2018:

“President Trump reportedly fears that his son Donald Trump Jr. may have inadvertently gotten himself into legal trouble.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Trump has told advisers and close confidants he doesn’t believe his son knowingly broke any law, but said Trump Jr. could have unwittingly crossed a legal line.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is examining Trump Jr. for his role in arranging a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between a Russian lawyer and Trump campaign officials, including himself.”

so now the allegation is that JR. took donations and contributions from foreign nationals? is that the official allegation? so this isn't about "collusion" or dirt on a political opponent, it's about donations and contributions? LOL




(a) Prohibition

It shall be unlawful for-
(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make-
(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;
(B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or
(C) an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 30104(f)(3) of this title); or

(2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.



by the way, didn't the Clinton Foundation take millions of dollars from foreign nationals while she was Secretary of State and her husband giving speeches for money in many countries including Russia?
