What Donald Trump Jr. should have learned from the 2000 Gore campaignâs hot potato
He turned it over to the FBI.
What happens when you have an honest politician running. Republicans didn't get it then and they don't get it now.
Let's see, HIllary paid for unverified information from a foreign national who got it on her behalf from Russia and you're whining about Trump Jr.? When you're ready to indict Hillary for inviting foreigners to meddle in the election, I'll take you seriously about Trump Jr. Until then, it's just more partisan crying.
Hillary didnât pay anyone. Hillaryâs law firm hired an American firm to provide oppositional research. That firm subcontracted the research work to Steele and theyâre the ones who paid him.
Hillary had no idea who was doing the research. Neither Hillary nor her lawyers met with Steele and Steele had no idea who was paying for the research.
Last but not least, the Clinton campaign didnât use the material they were given against Trump. They took one look at it and turned it over to the Republican Party which gave it to the FBI.
Trumpbots keep trying to make the Clintonâs armâs length purchase of research the moral equivalent to knowingly sitting down with the agents of a hostile foreign government in order to secure their cooperation and help in lying to the American people and subverting the election.
One is obtaining the dirt through legal channels, and then doing the right thing by turning it over to the GOP, and the other is treason.
