To win a presidential campaign a candidate has to play hardball. Like it or not the winner of the campaign is going to be the one that slings the mudd the most effectively. People say they don't like the mudd slinging, but the best mudd slinger usually wins. That being said, all legal ways of obtaining the mudd is fair game. Since foreign policy is a major part of a presidential campaign, ignoring useful information because it's from a foreign source is a good way to spell "looser".The problem isn't that anyone met with foreign officials. The problem comes in meeting with foreign officials and doing so for the express purpose of receiving opposition-impairing political resources and information. Doing that is tantamount to giving one's benediction to the foreign actor's inserting themselves into what is not their nation's political process.
One should not be surprised that foreign powers and agents attempt to exert whatever influence they can in another nation's political process, but one must not endorse their doing so by, as a candidate for office, by both accepting and/or allowing to be deployed direct political aid (physical resources or information) they may offer to advance one's campaign goal(s) and diminish those of one's opponents.
After all, in what country's interest is a foreign national going to make "dirt" available? Unless the individual is a defector or traitor, it's certainly not their own country.
The allegations of collusion and treason have become lamer and lamer since Trump won the election. I am saying this having voted against Trump.The excuses for collusion and treason will become lamer and lamer as seen in this thread.

X is true because of Y.I'm not saying you're mistaken, for that thought crossed my mind as I wrote the post. I determined that it was not, but I may be mistaken.
Y is true because of X.
