Lying con tool, there is no law against hiring an American firm to conduct opposition research.There’s no violation on Hillary’s part. The law prohibits Americans from obtaining contributions and/or donations from foreign nationals. Hillary didn’t. She got her opposition research from an American firm.Junior met with a foreign national to obtain valuable information that could hurt Hillary.Where does that statute state the contribution has to be made, ya lying con tool?
(b) Contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with elections. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.
Conspiracy is also a crime.
Oh, so now you want to charge someone with "conspiracy" to commit a crime while you ignore the campaign that committed the same crime? Good thing you've got your partisan blinders on, Faun!
As I've pointed out a dozen times...if your misreading of the statute was in fact how it was intended...the Clinton campaign is guilty of accepting "things of value" from foreign nationals in both cash and information!
Hillary met with an American-based research firm to obtain valuable information that could hurt Trump.
So, no, she did not commit the crime that Junior committed.
Hillary paid that "American-based" research firm to obtain that valuable information from an Englishman and some Russians. The only reason she didn't pay them directly was that she was hiding who funded Steele's smear job! She also took in millions of dollars through her little pay for play scam she had working at the State Department...funneling it through the Clinton Foundation and then using Foundation funds to help pay part of the salaries of people who were working in her election campaign.
THAT is a direct violation of the statute that you and WTP keep trotting out to use against Trump Jr.! A REAL violation involving millions of dollars in REAL money...not information which isn't what that statute was passed to prevent happening!
Junior, on the other hand, conspired with a foreign national to acquire valuable research on Hillary from a foreign national, in violation of the law.
An American firm that she PAID to get her what you so graciously call "opposition research? Let's cut the bullshit...shall we? Hillary Clinton used a law firm cut out to pay Fusion GPS and then had Fusion GPS run the smear campaign against Donald Trump. She did so to HIDE what it was that her campaign was doing.
I notice that you've studiously ignored how Clinton also used foreign "donations" to the Clinton Foundation to help pay for her election campaign! Don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole...do you, Faun!
As far as Hillary using foreign donations to fund her campaign, I haven’t seen proof of that. All I’ve seen is you claiming she did; but anything said by a lying con tool like you is as far away from verifiable as you can get.
