So, the DNC/Hillary supposedly paying for dirt on Trump — to your thinking — is bad. But Trump surrogates meeting with Russian officials to supposedly get dirt on Hillary is....what? Good? Bad? Fake news?
1) Acquiring information from foreign agents against a political opponent and using that information in an election is illegal. Bo matter who does it.
2) It was never proven that Trump surrogates did so. Je got up and walked out in the middle of the meeting, having been told the meeting was about Russian adoptions, and the Russian Lawyer stated no 'Hillary dirt' was ever offered / changed hands.
This was such an obvious 'sting' attempt by Obama, also. To get into the country, Obama had to override his own Dept of Immigration who had banned her from entering the US - Obama gave her a 'special' visa to enter the US. The FBI / DOJ knew well enough in advance of the meeting to get warrants and place wiretaps, and Obama had his own personal Russian Translator in the room. Yeah, this was not a setup.
3) The FBI was paying the foreign agent to continue his work on the dossier. Comey, Obama, Hillary, and the DNC - as the evidence shows - were paying / paid a foreign agent through a Russia-Linked Company for a fake news report filled with Russia-generated propaganda to use against Trump (Illegal) and DNC surrogate news agencies DID help leak the info and illegally use it against Trump.
Those 'small details' that you intentionally left out matter a whole helluva lot.
