Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners -- such as China or Russia -- or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both. "I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said] ‘we have information on your opponent' -- oh, I think I'd want to hear it."Information is a thing of value. For a political campaign, accepting a thing of value from a foreigner is illegal and is a felony.
In point of fact, a politician who illegally accepts something from a foreign government should not have a security clearance, for they are susceptible to blackmail. Arguably, they become an illegal agent for that government.
But there is Trump, openly saying that he would commit a felony and fuck you for asking.
Needless to say, the other members of the Party of Trump are busily twisting themselves into knots to justify Cadet Bone Spurs's lack of regard for the law. They are nothing short of despicable, zero-integrity chunks of sentient sewage settling pond scum.
