Ima just leave this right here .... deny it i dare u.
And, some keep forgetting that it was Steele who told British and American intelligence what they were finding.

Guessing that at least half those who post on this forum won't comprehend this.

But it did go to the FBI to vet and investigate. So both sides leveraged foreign aid in their election bid. But only one of those is in power.

This election has shown that everyone is willing to leverage foreign aid in an election. I'm not okay with foreign agendas driving our Democracy. Apparently there seem to be enough people that don't care.

I gotta side with Trump on this one. If you're a criminal, why would you want to report anything to the FBI? That would be utterly stupid

I do not care one bit for Trump but I have no problem with this. Quit doing things that foreign governments might report you on.

Where it comes to the government, exposing anything hidden is OK with me.

I see where Trump is trying to do some damage control on Fox News, or trying to clean up what he meant. Some Trump supporters were saying he was trolling, yeah right.

Key points:

1) Trump told the truth, I had to let that sink in for a second lmao.

2) Hillary and many others both left and right would have taken the offer in a heartbeat but would have lied in response to the question. If some Kenyan official had proof Obama wasn't a natural US citizen (just to pick an example) during the 2008 primary...do you think they turn him down? Not a freakin' chance.

The hypocrisy on both sides is a real problem. Far more so than a foreign government exposing corruption.

Well, the people of City-Data P&OC section have spoken. With about 150 votes, over 80% voted "yes."

Comforting to know that there is still an overwhelming majority of posters here who believe in honesty and integrity.

Several have. When a copy of Bush's campaign information was sent to Gore, he turned it over to the FBI.

When McCain was given a copy of the Steele dossier, he called he FBI.

IMO, that everybody does it is a theory of those who would do it.

Those who would not do not think it is a common occurrence.

Kinda like Guiliani saying all men run around on their wives. Not surprised he needs to rationalize his behavior.
