If I'm a political operative and the Russians offer dirt on my opponent I'm calling the law.

That's what a real American does !

1. Exactly.

[BSdetect]

2. Ethics are out at the WH

[OKNancy]

3. Like Al Gore

When Gore campaign was sent Bush debate brief book, they called FBI

[CentralMass]

4. What law ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. In this instance the FBI.

7. What is the dirt the russians have that no one else did?

I thought the Russians were hacking votes. Dirt has been used in every political race in my life time to gain the upper hand

8. If you

If you believe it is moral for American politicians to enlist foreign powers to undermine their domestic political opponents there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

I love Trump supporters. Their moral codes are as broken as any Mafia boss. They are actually more broken because most of the havoc members of the Mafia wreaks is on each other.

9. I do not

I agree with your sentiment. I am just curious as to what dirt you were referring to in your OP that the Russian's had/have.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Maybe there isn't any dirt.

The fact that Don Jr. would meet with a foreign agent who said she had "dirt" on his father's domestic political opponent might not technically be treason but it has the whiff of it.

13. I see

15. Very

Though its not hard to be prescient when you say he got dirt from russians, then say maybe there was no dirt. Then the russian comes forward saying he wanted dirt but didn't necessarily get any. I'd rather discuss actual russian interference with our process

16. This is what happens when a person gets involved with them.

They inadvertently become instruments of their will. Many people who got caught in these webs start out by thinking they aren't doing anything wrong.

10. That's part of the Republican strategy

Nixon did it in 1968 with the South Vietnam and the peace talks.

Reagan did in 1980 with the Iranians and the hostages.

17. Yes I have been anxiously awaiting a list of fake facts about HIllary that i was supposedly fed by

the russians that caused me to be a naive and easy duped Berniebro!

12. You are also obliged too legally.......
