She said this in effing June. Why is it worth repeating?

mattmcvilla Republicans are privileged and above the law so they get to do whatever they want - only Democrats have to obey the law. That's the GOP platform, basically.

Morning_Joe But the GOP refuses to fill vacancies!!! ShameOnThGOP

llmich Ellen Weintraub FEC Chair has so kindly defined the rules about demanding help from foreign countries on elections. We've just ben dealing with Russia interference for 3 years and Trump wants to claim he did not know? Haha. Nope buddy that lie will not fly.

U’r idiot’s 2 think Trump is worried about the 2020 election. Trump wants 2 expose those who have been stealing our 💵 & pocketing rewards received (💰) because of the stealing 💵!! U should be upset 2. Dem candidates don’t have a shot the rate & direction they’re going.

Then why did the DNC face no charges when they solicited help from the Ukraine, Russia and England during the 2016 election 🤔

Morning_Joe Christopher Steele: dnc

Interesting. I didn’t here anything about an election. Just a possibly corrupt son of someone running for presidency who was openly criminally investigated. I do believe if people are honest with themselves both republicans and democrats should want to know.

Morning_Joe Are we all understanding the FEC law prohibiting what Trump has been engaged in since April, or earlier?

FEC Chairwoman Weintraub needs to be heard again, and again...and again...and again...and so forth! 👍

Trump followed the Treaty Law bought in by Clinton, dont like it talk to bill.

realDonaldTrump Can we tattoo this on Trump's forehead?

MSNBC said it you know it is a lie

Hoo boy....the Steele dossier alone should be enough to put Hillary away then, no?

Article II of the Constitution gives the president sweeping power to conduct foreign affairs, negotiate with leaders of other nations, make demands or offer promises.

Morning_Joe realDonaldTrump

Morning_Joe That's hysterical, No quid pro quo, LMAO, how do they expect people to fall for this when it's all right there... AnotherSharpieCoverUp Lies

The GOP needs to understand this! What a godless party!

Morning_Joe Can't reason ith a mad dog.

Morning_Joe It is so bad in this country right now that Trump is cheating in the wide open with the full support of Republicans. Welcome to the New Banana Republic of America.

Law must have changed after Hillary campaign.

LIARS FREEDOM HAS 'HAS' MADE HUMANITY NUTS, not the GREAT KIND. Join Liars realm is guaranty eventually all ledges appear and prepares 'JUMP' Liar will catch your fall? Save a 'LIAR' and Heaven Will reward you? Hell of TREATS. TREATS HELL liars sweet sour tooth? BAD AS HELL BUY?

Buckley v. Valeo Pretty fkin clear!

Who is interfering in elections?

Then enforce the damn law.

Then why hasn’t anything happened to Trump? Sorry, I forgot that he can do anything that he wants without any repercussions at all!

Even materials from investigations into election meddling in 2016?

Then LOTS of democrats need to be brought up on charges. They did that and more during the last election. Exposing those crimes isn't a crime. Ukraine - Manafort UK and Russia - Carter Page/FISA UK, Italy and Australia - Popadopolus

Yeah. It is clear. Information is not of value. It has been ruled on. This woman is at odds with Justice on this. That's her opinion. But not the law. God these same old lies just keep being recycled. Annoying.

Yes impeachment is necessary

Old Joe’s in big trouble

Seeking to expose corruption, which exists in plain site, is not soliciting a thing of value. It’s doing the job this Pres was elected to do. That it damages a corrupt candidate, whose corruption is exposed & pursued, is the fault of that corrupt candidate.

Exactly. So when are we going to talk about the four Ukrainian who were charged and I believe convicted for interfering with US elections? And how about the 2016 candidate hiring a foreign agent to dig up dirt on their political rival, even though they lost ...

President Trump's reelection will be a Mere Formality. Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'The Law is pretty clear'' I guess claiming the law is 'Pretty Clear' is better than Claiming the law is 'Clear'. Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey RonJohnsonWI, this is why it’s not ok for Trump to ask China to investigate his political opponents.

Not illegal to ask foreign officials to investigate corruption by USA government officials though now is it

Unless you are a Dem.

Basically if Biden is investigated and it comes out that he is actually corrupt and sold his influence. That would in turn help Trump. So we should just completely turn our heads away from the former vice president's corruption? Hahaha. I love Liberals

Like Obama giving tax payer money to group in Israel to influence Bibi's election?

LockHimUp ImpeachTheMF

So that makes Joe Biden a crook right

Or as she is alternately known, Queen Kickass.

So why is Hillary not in jail

What if the GOP decides law doesn’t apply to them.
