Congress has limited the ways foreigners can take part in elections — by forbidding them from voting and restricting their contributions — but the idea that simply because"information" originates overseas is a"non sequitur," Philbin said.Democratic Sen.
A burning question for the months of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation was whether those men might face criminal charges in connection with the meeting; in the end, they did not. Although it's unlawful for American campaigns to accept a"thing of value" from foreigners, assessing what that means is complex. And Mueller's analysis also concluded that people involved must know they're breaking the law in order to face charges.
Mueller's investigation concluded that although there were some contacts, he could not establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump's camp and the Russians who interfered in the election.in connection with the cyberattacks and other"active measures" targeting the United States.Philbin addressed the"thing of value" element and the complexity of campaign finance law in his answer on Wednesday.
Let’s take a moment to realize that the attorneys for Trump have sacrificed a part of their reputations to defend a vicious criminal. There’s a good chance he’ll abuse publicly one of them soon. And the GOP senators who parroted the words of the defendant. You screwed America
A tip? This corrupt POTUS extorted Ukraine vulnerable president. All100Senators
The problem is with the Left.
You can't tell me this doesn't happen all the time. I'm sure Obama did it. Bernie. Hillary. Don't kid yourself if you think it doesn't happen all the time.
Uh oh National Socialist Radio, your phony narrative is about to bite you in the behind. Former Ukrainian prosecutor Biden fired is suing him for guess what...corruption.
The first thing trump will do if not impeached is silence the legitimate press completely. The harassment of press & the blocking of the press will happen immediately. The biggest thing R’s are fighting for is to control their own narratives. It is the last of the pillars to fall
I would hear the truth even from devils mouth. So if it truth and only truth bring it on.
Evidently it was ok for a candidate, and a whole party to pay for information on their opponent and even make up BS info so why not.
Insight and forethought into what is possible. That's a rare trait for an elected official. I pray there are others with such acuity listening.
Your coverage of impeachment proceedings is appallingly incompetent journalism because you're simply narrating the claims made by both sides and not fact checking them. Trump lawyers have been able to blatantly lie with impunity while house managers tell the truth. Disgraceful.
Trump already argued that on national television. Months ago.
Hillary Clinton and the DNC not only took but paid for way more than just a tip about Trump from a foreigner, Christopher Steele, who in turn used sources from RUSSIA, which might very well have been feeding him misinformation, so don’t even go there, Dems.
I'm telling you all, the fix is in, the Traitor RepublicanParty is going to bend the rules and dismiss the laws of this country, trump can do what he wants and the Reepublicans will mold his lawlessness to fit the rule of the day, TheFixIsIn
Hillary Clinton and the DNC not only took but paid for way more than just a tip about Trump from a foreigner, Christopher Steele, who in turn used sources from RUSSIA, which might very well have been feeding him misinformation, so don’t even go there.
And what about all the domestic interference and monies influencing our elections and all the laws and projects that benefit only the donators? So please STOP your BS!
These attorneys have renewed my disdain for attorneys.
Does this set a precedent that will allow all foreign interference into elections as long as it is solicited in tie to aid money? Scary
Trump saying the FBI is wrong about calling them if a foreign government offers political help - Minute 2:31
Breaking: FEC dismantled SEC disbanded
Because that’s exactly what it means.
HE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS WE HAVEHE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS
The president's council is rationalizing burning the constitution.
So if Clinton had accepted such aid from foreign nations, it would have been totally okay? Somehow I doubt that very much. These double standard bastards have to go.
Thanks npr, now do Clinton and Steele
Mr. Milquetoast has had a few head scratching arguments the last couple days.
“Actually, corruption is fine”
Give him credit. Trying to normalize and justify abuse of power. Problem is only republicans buying it hook , line and sinker. Their parents must be so disappointed in that example. THINK!!!!
All Patrick Philbin is spewing lies, just like his master—the president.
They ALL do, there is nothing to be set. Come on people can't cover the sun with one finger!
Witness the balanced reporting of INGSOC
Schiff to Collins, Did he say there should be a wall?😆
Unheard of? Who were Christopher Steele's sources Senator Stabenow?
But it is okay for the Democrats to pay a Russian group for false information then spend two years “investigating” it knowing it was false.
Not OK.
*cough* Steele Dossier *cough*
That is what the Steele dossier is
No one should. Even Obama, the sainted one, did far more and no one here has said anything. You can’t even question the 5 Is process or the FISA nonsense without being labeled a conspiracy theorist
A 'tip' is something freely given and that's not even vaguely what happened.
If we allow this we won't have a Constitutional Republic for long.
Will he be ok if it’s a Dem POTUS? No? Well it’s a free for all now. Anything goes and you made sure of it.
I am asking nicely if the commentator would refrain from talking over the Chief Justice and the replies of the two parties.
Witness the rape of democracy as the people elected to represent you participate in a cover up and a corruption of common sense trying to defend the indefensible. It's alright to commit crime as long as it's in the public interest. So assassination is on the table then right?
Didn't John McCain take a 'tip' from UK when he received the debunked dossier? Didn't the Hillary camp take a tip from Ukraine re the black ledger?
Yeah, and they’d be cool with it if Hillary Clinton was doing it. They wouldn’t mind.
Where are the God damn raging mad dog Republican Constitutionalists when you need them? This is how freedom ends....not with a bang but with a whimper! Let's see if they feel the same way when the tables are turned on them 1, 5, or 10 years hence. Careful what you wish for!
That’s a lie
Unheard of? Ever hear of that the the Obama admin illegally spied on Americans using a secret court and a made up foreign dossier? This is why you’re liberal hacks
Absurd and worrying.
Trump didn’t take a tip. He extorted a foreign country to manufacture dirt.
