What exactly did they do?

[Jantje_Smit]

[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

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

FAIL.

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.

Just once in your lazy, incompetent life, you should google before responding. Then you might not make a complete idiot of yourself all of the time.

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?

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?

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.

Hillary Clinton Answers “I Don’t Recall” 40 TIMES To FBI, Blames Concussion
By Bushrod Washington
September 3, 2016 at 8:27am

Let’s pretend you’re being questioned by the FBI about your job – about things you need to know. You’re asked a question that you don’t know the answer to, so you say: “I don’t recall.”

Then you say it again: “I don’t recall.”

And again. And again. And again. “I don’t recall.” “I don’t recall.” “I don’t recall.”

And 35 more times.

And why not? Why can’t you remember pertinent facts about your job more than three dozen times? Because you fell down and bonked your head. And now you can’t remember things.

Folks, this is the woman who wants to be leader of the free world.

Hillary Clinton Said She Can't Recall Key Details About Her Private Email Server
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
October 14, 2016

Hillary Clinton said under oath in a court filing Thursday that she can’t recall key details about her use of a private email server or she refused to answer questions about it posed by a conservative legal group.

Clinton lawyer David Kendall provided the Democratic presidential nominee’s sworn responses to 25 written questions submitted by Judicial Watch. The group has filed multiple lawsuits seeking copies of government documents from Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

Clinton’s answers provided no new information. In her responses, Clinton used some variation of “does not recall” at least 21 times.

For example, Clinton was asked when she decided to use her private email account to conduct government business and whom she consulted in making that decision.

Clinton said she recalled making the decision in early 2009, but she “does not recall any specific consultations regarding the decision.”

Asked whether she was warned that using a private email account conflicted with federal record-keeping rules, Clinton responded that “she does not recall being advised, cautioned, or warned, she does not recall that it was ever suggested to her, and she does not recall participating in any communication, conversation, or meeting in which it was discussed.”

Hillary Clinton Said She Can't Recall Key Details About Her Private Email Server

At least you admit there’s no proof that she was aware of Steele and his dossier. I suppose that’s a start for you even if you do feel compelled to divert attention to her email server.

Nope. No matter how many times you repeat that lie, there still remains zero evidence that Hillary ever met with any foreign national leader to get dirt on Trump nor is there any evidence she ever got any dirt on Trump from a foreign national.

 

[Care4all]

Trump's campaign team and Trump cheated, in several ways....

through over the campaign finance limit payoffs to porn stars, and playmates by AMI

Through back door Russian donations to the NRA for campaign ads

Through Cambridge Analytica and stolen facebook info...

Through welcoming a foreign government's help

through soliciting stolen emails by foreign entities...

Through not reporting the foreign government's offering help in the election....

etc etc etc

They were cheaters and rule and law breakers, and dirty all around.

Is that clear enough?

 

[Care4all]

The Clintons have a modest net worth for their incomes and their work history. Around $5 million. All of their finances are a matter of public record.

Why would you be so proud as to brag about your ignorance? Yes, it is all public record and they used their "Foundation" to pay for all their travel, lodging and meals.

$5 Million, you're funny!

How Much Is Hillary Clinton Actually Worth?

Clinton lost her battle for the White House, but she's winning at the book sales game.
by SAM DANGREMOND
OCT 12, 2017

Clinton's tax returns show that she and former President Bill Clinton have made $240 million since leaving the White House, thanks largely to speaking engagements and books. Forbes attributes a large portion of that—$189 million—to Bill Clinton, leaving Hillary with a $51 million profit so far.

Since Clinton herself said she and her husband left the White House "dead broke,"what they've made since then provides a good idea of their net worth today. Wealth-X estimates Hillary Clinton's net worth to be at least $18 million, and her federal financial disclosure filing in 2015 showed that she had between $11.3 million and $52.7 million in the bank.

Not so bad considering she's said she and her husband were $12 million in debt at the end of his presidential administration in 2001.

Hillary Clinton Net Worth 2018 - How Much Is Hillary Clinton Worth?

My apologies. I should have double checked that figure. It is 52 million. Still low given their income, much of which goes to the Foundation.

the foundation has been shut down. the money goes into their personal bank accounts, probably in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands to avoid US taxes
