Who needs an article when there’s a law...?

52 U.S. Code § 30121 - Contributions and donations by foreign nationals

(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;
We know what the laws says. This issue isn't whether the Russians are foreign nationals. The issue is whether information is considered to be a donation. The courts have rule that it isn't. Otherwise, Hillary would be in prison for all those spurned gold digging bimbos who fed her dirt about Trump.
No one said it’s a donation. Dayam, you actually get more fucking moronic with every post. :ack-1:
The how does it violate any law?
Sorry, fucking moron, but I posted the law and donations were not the only violation. Dayum, you’re one rightarded fucking moron, huh?

Information is not considered to be a campaign contribution from the point of the campaign finance laws.

You are misinformed. 52 USC 30121, 36 USC 510

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.
Information is not considered to be a "thing of value" for the purposes of the campaign funding laws.

According to nobody but you. People pay for information, therefore it is a thing of value.
People also get information for free. In terms of political campaigns, the courts do not define information to be a thing of value. Hillary paid for the "dossier" on Trump and didn't report it. Didn't she break the law, according to you?
Only if you can prove she willfully sought to obtain the dossier from a foreign national — which you proved she didn’t.

Fucking moron, ”anything” beneficial, or even potentially beneficial to the Trump campaign, is of value. Including information that your political opponent committed a crime, which could be used to attack your opponent in an election.

That's not how the courts interpret it, moron. It doesn't matter how much a desperate snowflake wants it to be true. If it were a violation, why doesn't Mueller have the Trump sons up on charges? That's because he's not stupid like you. He knows the law. You don't.
Fucking moron.... it’s under investigation. And it was just a week ago that Trump finally confessed his son met with a foreign national to get dirt on Hillary. Up until now, the Trumps’ position on that meeting was that it was to discuss adoption.
Trump said nothing he hasn't said since the story first broke. That's just another faux scandal. Adoption was the reason the Russian lawyer arranged the meeting. The two claims don't contradict each other. These facts are all known.
Oh? Then quote him in the past saying the purpose of the meeting was to obtain dirt on Hillary.......

Opinion | Can it be a crime to do opposition research by asking foreigners for information?


first of all your cite is an OPINION, not a law. As we all know, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Secondly, when a foreigner volunteers information, you did not ask for it.

Now, in the case of the dossier and the Clinton campaign, it was asked for and paid for. So you must support prosecution of her and her cronies. right?
Liar. You have no evidence whatsoever that Hillary asked for a foreign national to compile that dossier.

Do you ever stop lying?

Evers??
Of course she did. She hired Fusion GPS, so she asked them to compile the dossier. Laundering the money through her law firm doesn't absolve her of her guilt. It only adds another crime to the charge sheet.

With every post you dig yourself in deeper.

No SHE didn’t do any such thing. She didn’t hire GPS. Her law firm did. And even if she personally directed her law firm to hire GPS by name, she still had no contact with them. She neither hired them or spoke to them.

It is precisely BECAUSE all contact with Fusion GPS was done through the law firm that there is no conspiracy.

You should also look up the definition of “money laundering”. Using legal obtained campaign contributions to purchase research for your campaign, is the antithesis of “money laundering”.
 
Of course she did. She hired Fusion GPS, so she asked them to compile the dossier. Laundering the money through her law firm doesn't absolve her of her guilt. It only adds another crime to the charge sheet.
Prove she asked them to compile the dossier....

You can’t because you are a fucking moron who relies on hallucinations to fill in the gaps reality leaves wide open.
She asked them indirectly. She's responsible for the actions of everyone in her employ, that includes Russian intelligence agents conjuring up dirt to use against Trump.
Prove she asked them at all. And prove it without citing yourself as your source .....
ROFL! She paid them for it. That's all that matters. How she laundered the money only compounds the illegality.
Nope, fucking moron, you said she “asked” for a foreign national to produce that dossier.

Needless to say, you are once again expose yourself as the lying fucking moron you are.

:dance:
She told her law firm to hire them to do it. That's the same as asking the Russian spies to do it.

If she told her law firm to hire a foreign national, how come the only source you’ve managed to find to corroborate that — is you?

...The Russians decided to "disrupt" the election, by creating unrest and distrust between the various factions in this country. They did not take sides, they just wanted to get us hating and yelling at each other, and they succeeded.

Its a standard tactic of socialists, and we are seeing more of it from the liberal democrat party today. Obama started it as instructed by his mentors Alinsky and Ayers, using the guidance of Marx and Lenin.

Study some history and you will understand exactly what is going on. It really has very little to do with Trump or Clinton.

So the Russians caused you to be disgusted by Obama and Hillary?

Opinion | Can it be a crime to do opposition research by asking foreigners for information?
/----/ You claim a foreigner offering dirt on a US candidate to their opponent is somehow a crime. Well what if the Trump campaign read an article in a foreign newspaper that had dirt on hildabeast and used it in their campaign. Would that be a crime? If not, then why is the source different?
Creative thought
 
[how about someone who could be blackmailed by them???? they have her missing 30,000 emails, the paid bubba 500k for a 20 minute speech, they gave millions to the Clinton foundation, they have all the dirt on her. they wanted her to win so they could rule her.

Right, the Russians wanted the psycho princess to win so she could put her plans for a no fly zone over Syria into action... seriously?

And if they really had her 30,000 missing emails they would have been published by now don't you think

:banana:
Who knows, why were they deleted?

I realize that it’s your best interests for the purpose of this debate, to portray Dossier in the same light as Junior’s Trump Tower meeting but there are so many differences.

Junior was open to getting a donation of information directly from a representative of the Russian government. He was told before the meeting that the Russian government wanted to help his father’s campaign.

The Trump Campaign then invited the Russians to hack Hillary, and then obtained advance notice of the leaks of information received through Roger Stone, and optimized these leaks with promotion and publicity.

The Clinton campaign asked their lawyers to obtain opposition research. The lawyers hired GPS Fusion and they paid GPS Fusion for the research. It wasn’t a donation.

Last but certainly not least, the Clinton Campaign didn’t use a single thing from that Dossier in the campaign. They gave it to the Republican Party, and passed it on the the FBI.

So on one hand you have a candidate who conspired with a foreign government to slander and discredit the other candidate, and who coordinated a systematic attack on the candidate using stolen emails and data, with the Russians. And on the other, a candidate who received information that the Trump Campaign had strong ties to the Russian government and turned that information over to authorities to investigate, without making the information public.

How are these two things in an way the same?


you make your argument and then you refute it. The Trump campaign did not solicit or pay for any dirt on Hillary. the Hillary campaign asked for and paid for untrue dirt on Trump.

No, they are not the same in any way. One is legal and the other is illegal.

The Trump campaign didn’t ask for the dirt but they were willing to accept the “donation”. Donations from foreign sources are illegal.

The Steel Dossier wasn’t “donated” it was purchased. Bought and paid for at arm’s length no less. There was no conspiracy with any foreigners.

This concept of “arm’s length” may be too difficult for you to wrap your head around.
Folks, can’t make this up!!!! :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:

So if trump paid for nothing then he be ok?:auiqs.jpg:

Alan Dershowitz says you're wrong:

Dershowitz on Trump Jr Meeting: 'A Candidate Has the Right to Get Information From Whatever Source' | Breitbart

Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz defended President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., for meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya to do opposition research.

According to Dershowitz, there is nothing wrong with a candidate getting information on his opponent from any type of source.

“If it were to be prosecuted, the First Amendment would trump. A candidate has the right to get information from whatever source the information comes,” he argued.

Dershowitz also pointed out, “If the material was obtained unlawfully, you prosecute, if you can, the people who obtain the material. But there is a First Amendment right of a candidate to use information. You can’t include information under the campaign finance law. That would be unconstitutional.”
LOL

Fucking moron, that’s Dershowitz arguing the law is unconstitutional; which at this point, it’s not.
No, that's not what Dershowitz is arguing.

Hmmmm, no, she paid for the dossier. Her law firm had to know that foreign spies were producing the dirt on Trump, especially after they reviewed the dossier.
