I actually think those on the left are too stupid to recognize that Trump is saying he might do exactly what Hillary did do.
I think the problem is with those who don't seem to recognize the distinction.

Trump says he would take from FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS and that he might not alert the FBI.

The Steele dossier was initially contracted for by a Republican. And it didn't involve a foreign GOVERNMENT. And the FBI was alerted to its existence.

Different.

Trump has learned in the past two years - that foreign government involvement in our elections is GOOD - as long as it's for him.


He again invites Russia to intervene on his behalf. And the lemmings cheer.


He is a traitor to this country and should be impeached.

President Donald Trump may not alert the FBI if foreign governments offered damaging information against his 2020 rivals during the upcoming presidential race, he said, despite the deluge of investigations stemming from his campaign's interactions with Russians during the 2016 campaign.

Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners -- such as China or Russia -- or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both."

meanwhile adam Schiff took what he thought was a real phone call from Russia giving dirt on trump.


any pol who says he would not listen to what a caller had to say is a liar.


Mueller said Russia attempted to bait repubs and no one took the bait.


By Pelosi's definition, the democrats should all be in jail.


Trump said nothing wrong. Dems act as if he actually did what they accuse him of possibly doing in the future. Consistent with the headlines for the last two years. Create a future theoretical scenario and accuse trump of having done it. they continue to confuse reality with theory.


Dems rig the 2016 primary and that's fine.


Anyone who heard Pelosi this am should be appalled at her accusation. this stuff is right out of a communist controlled country. Lies and character assassination with no evidence or proof. Just distorted interpretation used to forward a narrative.

As I said -- Since the 2016 election there isn't a politician except Trump who would tell the world he would take info. about his opponent from a foreign govt.

If you want to debate who did it worse...that's another thread.
You seem to be forgetting Adam "Pencil Neck" Schiff...

It turned out to be a prank, but Schiff was more than willing to take 'dirt' from Russians when the 'dirt' involved Trump.

Let's see, Schiff notified the FBI prior to taking the call, and repeatedly invoked the FBI during the conversation.

Did you miss that?

That would be Trump and his supporters. He have this love affair with communist leaders, especially Kim. And their supporters follow them lockstep, never to condemn what they do or say, and never believe anything negative about them, and hate the press. So again, that would be Trump and his supporters, he can never do wrong and Y'all can never speak against him.

Different.
Steele was an agent of a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. The "dirt" on Trump was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign (or perhaps the DNC-which is the same during the election).

Of course distinguishing between a primary election and the general is something that's a bit much for Dems. What the Republicans did concerning Steele to impact the primary was wrong-much like feeding one candidate debate questions is. But still pales compared to doing so in the general election.

Steele was not working for a foreign government.

Neither her nor any foreign government provided the information as a free campaign contribution.

Not sure why this is so difficult to comprehend.
