Is it corrupt to pay for bad news on your opponent? Since when?

Again, since this is all over the news and has been explained several times, I am just going to credit you with ACTING 'dumb'.

Acquiring / Buying information n from a foreign agent - especially one connected to the Russians - and using that information against a candidate in a US election, which it was, is a CRIME.

careful who you call dumb, easypeasy

What is the source for your assertion that paying a foreign citizen for information during a campaign is illegal?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

What's got you guys nervous today? Usually a big push to discredit Mueller is because someone is sniffing too close.

So far there is more circumstantial evidence pointing to corruption within the DNC than there is within the Trump campaign.

Is it corrupt to pay for bad news on your opponent?

Apparently, it is when you don't disclose it in your campaign reporting and then lie about it for a year.

Not to call you a liar, but I've never seen or heard of that one.

They have to disclose contributions. People have to disclose employment.

Why Donald Jr., Kushner and Manafort’s meeting with the Russian agent was a bad idea, but may not be illegal

The pivotal question is whether they illegally solicited an in-kind contribution from a foreign national by attempting to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from a Russian national, including incriminating documents.

Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now

Although some outstanding lawyers contend otherwise, I don’t think federal campaign finance law prohibits what Trump Jr. did.

If it did, then the Clinton campaign would also have broken the law had it sought information from non-U.S. nationals to investigate the claim that Trump Tower was built with undocumented workers. That interpretation of the law would raise very serious concerns concerning the free flow of political information

I read it this morning in an article, which, of course, I can't find now.

there may well be disclosure requirements about foreign payments.

Election watchdog charges Clinton campaign filed 'false' reports on Trump dossier funding

 

[kiwiman127]

Well, it's no surprise that Rupert Murdoch's WSJ would run interference for Dotard Trump.
And Easyt whines and moans about that the rest of the MSM is "fake news" when they run an opinion piece. Oh, the irony and hypocrisy.

The WSJ is responding to / commenting on the EVIDENCE just released...unless you are suggesting Murdoch somehow manufactured and released the evidence that just came out.

What maroons....

I read the entire editorial.
You don’t seem to know the difference between conjecture and facts. You have proven that over and over since you made your grand appearance.
What a troll! You’re like never ending “fake news”!

 

[AntonToo]

Wall Street Journal is fake news

Fake editorial at least.

No way they actually believe this lunatic nonsense, someone is calling in a fav.

 

[Reasonable]

Since "Russian dossier" is a fake, what in the world is Mueller going to "Investigate"?

It’s well known what he’s been investigating.
God damn it’s always hilarious how little you Trump whores follow the news.

Tell us all then what he's investigating since you know soooooooo much.

It always surprises me how little you know but when you confirmed you prefer bloggers ( not accountable to anyone) over real journalists ( who are) it makes sense.
It’s no secret Mueller is focusing on obstruction of justice charges against Trump. Hell the dope ADMITTED obstructing justice on live TV.

“Strip out the middlemen,” the Wall Street Journal’s editors argue this morning, “and it appears that Democrats paid for Russians to compile wild allegations about a US presidential candidate.” The editorial demands a “full investigation” into the FBI’s activities during the previous presidential cycle, saying that collusion may have taken place — only in a completely different direction than previously thought. And that puts the special counsel in an impossible position...

...this impacts on the supposed independence of special counsel Robert Mueller. Even aside from the Uranium One issue that took place while Mueller ran the FBI, the dossier case will directly reflect on James Comey, his friend and protege. And unlike the initial conception of the collusion probe, in which the FBI was presumed to be merely a collector of evidence, it now appears that the agency he led will have to get scrutinized as well — which, the WSJ concludes, makes Mueller’s position untenable:

'Mr. Mueller is a former FBI director, and for years he worked closely with Mr. Comey. It is no slur against Mr. Mueller’s integrity to say that he lacks the critical distance to conduct a credible probe of the bureau he ran for a dozen years. He could best serve the country by resigning to prevent further political turmoil over that conflict of interest.' "


The editors are correct that the exposure of the funding of the dossier changes the entire context of the probe. There is a small but non-zero chance that the FBI picked up this thread as a result of direct contact with Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC, or its contractors, and if so it happened on Comey’s watch. That would at least raise the suspicion of political corruption at the nation’s top law-enforcement and domestic counterintelligence agency. At some point, the special counsel will have to probe those possibilities, and can that be done in a credible manner by a man who commanded the same people just a few years ago?

It will also mean probing Team Hillary and the DNC, who have suddenly contracted a case of laryngitis..."

WSJ to Mueller after dossier exposé: Resign - Hot Air

Considering the revelation of Hillary's connection to the dossier, the fact that she and the DNC paid $9 Million for a false report filled with Russian-generated propaganda from a foreign agent through a Russia-linked firm that just pleaded the 5th when called to testify before Congress and the fact that Hillary accepted over $100 million dollars from the Lead Russian in charge of the Russian Uranium One deal, that leaves several of Mueller's Special Counsel team members, like the former Clinton Foundation Lawyer, being exposed as having Conflicts of Interest that should result in them having to recuse themselves from any further investigations as well.

I don't give a shit what the WSJ says. They are part of the corrupt state run media.

Aren't the WSJ and Breitbart written by the same people?

Even if so, they are still more reliable than the white supremacist web site MSNBC used as their 'legit' source to attack the President.

 

[Coyote]

Other than possible non disclosure of funding which I believe the Trump campaign is also facing, the dossier isnt very relevent. Mueller et al are not using as the intelligence basis for the investigation.

You can't have the douchebag (Mueller) the left said is beyond approach who actually along with Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein actively worked to cover up The Russian Extortion and Bribery operation going on for Clinton & Obama to get approval of the Uranium One deal investigating The President when he is part of a Russian Collusion scandal himself.

You guys applauded Mueller until he started looking at Trump.

No one wants Trump investigated.

I never applauded Mueller. In fact I called him Scum and Compromised the second he stepped up to suck Comey's Cock and save his bacon from going to jail.
