:Emails show Trump Jr.was excited by offer of Russian dirt on Clinton LIVE COVERAGE
Is this really a story? Does anybody for a second think that either side would have the morals to say "no thanks" to outsiders help to win the election? Obviously not or else they wouldnt be accepting donations from private companies foreign and domestic. This shit is getting really old. I have zero doubt that there is anybody associated with either campaign that wouldnt have wet themselves to be getting dirt on the other candidate regardless of its source. and the link talks about live coverage... is this happening in the now? is this really a LIVE coverage situation?

So is that the spin? It's a non-story? Something anyone in the same position would've done? Not sure about that, considering it's illegal. Federal election law prohibits accepting "anything of value ... in connection with" an election from a foreign national.

I haven't been paying too much attention to this, because it seems pretty set that Seth Rich leaked all the stuff about Hillary. What's the actual law that people are claiming was violated? It has to be more than 'accepting "anything of value ... in connection with" an election from a foreign national.' right? Wouldn't Hillary's pay to play scandal be involved in the same conversation. How would you separate all the stuff that was donated to her foundation by foreigners and ensure it didn't get mixed in with anything election related?
Also on a side note, is it illegal (our law) for us to interfere with other countries elections?

Are you wanting to start enforcing this obscure and impossible to police piece of law now or how about in the past as well?

Its wasn't the gifts, there were none. Jr has all the innocence of the guy getting caught at the play ground soliciting, it wasn't the act, it was the trying.
