The question is not an indictment on the Trump campaign. The question seeks a simple yes or no answer. Is it acceptable, proper and normal for any campaign to solicit, receive or accept damaging information on an opponent from a foreign adversary?

A better and simpler question would be to accept any information from any foreign source.

Adding descriptors like "damaging" and "adversary" adds debatable terms to the equation.

As for my version of the question, I don't know.

I would limit it to countries we are officially at war with. I would like it verified and then I don't care about the source. the truth is the truth
 
I believe a candidate should focus more on what they are going to do and say first and foremost. Build yourself up, not tear down others, that is what a leader should do.

Information will come from many sources, it is what you do with it that matters.

A foreadversary communicate to the campaign that they have dirt on your opponent. Is it acceptable to receive, solicit or otherwise obtain that information from a foreign source.

Let’s check out what the World Trade Organization, which controls our Economy, has to say about that.
 
Short answer to the question? No, it is not acceptable for any US political campaign to accept help from foreign governments.

We aren't at war with Russia. But just what is it that makes democrats at war with Russia? Simple, Russia warns us about terrorists getting into the country and it's democrats that want those terrorists here. If we did not have a politicized and democrat controlled FBI we would never have had the Boston Bombers. If we did not have shitstain obama and his minions screening refugees in order to approve the entry of terrorists, we would never have had isis in Sacramento.

That falls apart when it comes to information that is not sold to the campaign but merely given.

The same information if first given to a reporter who publishes it, and then the information is used by the campaign shows the inability to prosecute anyone over information.

I had a campaiyto down ta tha local Mexican restaurant one time. Had the runs for days. :scared1:
 
I assume you are asking why Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama colluded with Russia to obtain a "Trumped Up" and "Salacious" Dossier to use against president Trump and to falsely obtain FISA warrants to spy on every single member of his campaign and family?

Sure, absolutely fine. Fuck the Constitution.

Paying Russian and British Spies and Fusion GPS to try to "fix and election" and then launch a Coup is perfectly legit!
 
Proper and normal? What the hell is "proper and normal" these days? Is it proper and normal for a cabal in the FBI to use an unverified dossier from a foreign agent to try to influence an election or undermine an administration?

Let me correct you, unverified and salacious, and they actually knew the source and knew The DNC and Clinton campaign paid for it. They also knew Obama chipped in $1 Million of his own money for it. They also knew Christopher Steele, Blumenthal and Skirpal created it for the sole purposes of using it as campaign propaganda.

They just never thought they'd get caught because.....

HILLARY IN A LANDSLIDE!

Russians are white, and therefore Democrats hate them.

It is really as simple as that.
 
As long as we continue to interfere with elections in other countries than yes.

Wow...............that's quite the broad brush you're painting people with.

Every second of your life is dictated by your craven, irrational fear. It is really as simple as that.
