FEC chair responds to Trump saying he'd accept foreign intel on opponent: 'It is illegal'

[LS1Z28]

if he says it’s ok to interfere in our elections, nations interfere.

Here's an interesting fact. It's been well documented that the U.S. has interfered in over 80 foreign elections since the 40's. That's only the instances we know about. I'm sure the real number is well into the triple digits.

You're fooling yourself if you think there's a significant election anywhere in the world that doesn't have some sort of foreign interference. Do you really think anything that Trump says will change that?

If it's contested then it's not

Wrong. Absent a court ruling that body’s interpretation is the law.

If it's contested then it's not

Wrong again. If it is contestested then it is simply contested, not decided on.

True and it's somewhat tiring how no Democrat has qualms at interfering in foreign elections when it benefits the United States. They also don't mind receiving valuable information to get dirt on the opposition. They only point to the law when it disadvantages themselves.

It will then be decided in a higher court. Exactly the same with Roe v Wade. State laws that ban abortions in certain states are now contested and move into the higher courts until it will be heard by the Supreme Court. Election Campaign Finance law is way too juicy and important for the Supreme Court to not pick it up when it gets its turn.

We will be in sad state if there is a single court in this country that would allow foreign influence in our domestic elections.

This country would cease being sovereign country and turn into globalist nightmare overnight.

You have no understanding of what you are defending. You are simply supporting Donald Trump.

For the record you are ok with Russia,China, Iran etc giving money and government intelligence to US candidates for office?

The Clinton campaign did not only take foreign intel on an opposing candidate, they created it and financed it. This we know for a fact. We also know that after two plus years and armies of people looking not a shred a evidence that Trump had any level of collusion. We also know that the FBI and Obama administration participated in this Clinton conspiracy.
If you had two people committing crimes, one stealing a candy bar and the other robbing a bank while killing the guards, the left would have us pursuing the candy thief.

Wrong again, I defend sensible immigration policies, I am a staunch supporter for the right to life of unborn human beings,and I am realistic enough to know that domestic and foreign information enters the election campaigns of every industrialized nation and is perused by every party. I don't care about Donald Trump at all. For what it's worth, if found guilty after his term(s) he can be incarcerated. I care about the momentum that picked up to deconstruct the administrative state. The beginning of a rebellion against the elites and against those who have a strong interest in maintaining the status quo. That is what I care about.

We will be in sad state if there is a single court in this country that would allow foreign influence in our domestic elections.

No, but I am OK that candidates get information from wherever. Not money. Not objects that can be monetized. This law is about not letting one party win because they could afford more ads on TV. As long as the information was not purchased and no favor was granted in exchange I am OK to source information from wherever.

For the record you are ok with Russia,China, Iran etc giving money and government intelligence to US candidates for office?
