When Trump said he would listen to oppo dirt from Norway about whoever is the Dems nominee, the MSM and Dems were apoplectic. They screamed that what Trump said would be a felony if he actually did it. Never mind that Hillary Clinton actually did just that and so did Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. The most bizarre defense of Hillary that I’ve seen is that it’s not a violation if you pay for it only if it’s given to you. That’s absurd on it’s face.

Now most importantly, there is no law that says so. The statute that they all talk about prohibits taking something of value from a foreign source during an election. Information has never been deemed to fall under that rubric. Indeed the law would be an unconstitutional infringement of freedom of speech. The government cannot prohibit you from talking to anyone. This is the important thing to remember.

Second thing to consider is that a woman on the Federal Elections Commission said the law is clear and Trump would commit a felony if he listened to dirt on an opponent from a foreign governmental source. I call bullshit. The woman who made that statement came from Perkins Coie, the firm that Hillary and the DNC funneled money through to Fusion GPS who then funneled it to Christopher Steele to pay for Russian lies. You do the math and consider her credibility.
