Donald Trump says he might not report to the FBI any election help offered by a foreign source in the 2020 election cycle

“I am sure that the president’s attorneys are apoplectic given that the Mueller report sets forth a pattern of obstruction that is profound,” said Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor from Virginia. “This statement is a jewel of an admission that sheds light on the intent of not only himself but possible members of his family and campaign. In layman’s terms, the president truly stepped in it.

David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor from South Florida, said any American connected to an election had a “fundamental responsibility” to report contact with foreign agents, with repercussions on national security and potential violations of foreign lobbying laws. “The comments made today show that he doesn’t have even a basic grasp of the laws that exist in our country,” Weinstein told POLITICO.Rep.

This is exactly what Hillary Clinton did with Fusion GPS. Clinton's people enlisted Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on President Trump. Fusion GPS used CIA foreign assets who created lies about canidate Trump The FBI, CIA and NSA used this information to spy on Mr.Trump and associates.

Traitor, thief, predator, liar, instigator of crimes against humanity, SpeakerPelosi What else do we need?

Take that shit and use it to secure another 4 years of good leadership! 🇺🇸

Collusion Collusion Collusion, is a GOOD thing, Eh! President Trump?

Confession on camera.

How come this is news? Clinton paid for it and that is not news?

Good

he probably already is. and updates on how russsian hacking for 2020 is going...

Treason

lol Trump is a master level troll

As opposed to paying another foreign agent to dig some up?

Does realDonaldTrump know what GStephanopoulos had as a day job before ABC? Trump is instructing George on Campaign info?

I don't see a problem at all

Again you take it out context.

Cold eyes.

“I’d”=I did. And will again, he hopes.

He’s a criminal! What? You think he actually follows the law?😂🤪

Hopefully the job

They should be asking Hillary & the democrats that ! Can’t trust liberal media

Grifter & cheat in chief Donald IS FINE with foreign countries attacking 🇺🇸 election/campaigns; if it helps Trump it is wonderful! Also said FBI director was wrong to demand foreign outreach be reported to FBI!

Now we know why realDonaldTrump is in love with Chairman Kim. He'll have NK do the hacking in 2020.

Eh...sounds pretty far fetched man. I mean, I remember once upon a time that “The election can not be rigged...it’s impossible.” Also, didn’t someone get info on Trump from a foreign source last go round? What was that particular sociopath...ehmm...individual’s name?

He’s lying here. He’ll take it but he certainly does not think. That’s just absurd.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander 🦆

THE TWO ARE GUARANTEED GUILTY TREASON AGAINST AMERICA ...

Why is everybody afraid of information? The truth must not be told if the messenger is foreign? Don't trust propaganda that you didn't cook up yourself? Pathetic.

Any politician would. What most politicians DON'T do : - Hire a foreign spy to concoct dirt from Moscow. - Sic FedGov on their opponent. - Create a bogus boogeyman as an excuse for their own ineptitude. [Follows appreciated!]

Does this surprise ANYONE? What's more baffling & profoundly troubling is how our Fraudster-in-Chief -- likely the most corrupt & compromised person to ever hold high office in the U.S. -- STILL commands such strong support among a full third of Americans. America, WAKE UP!

LockHimUp ImpeachmentNOW

Once again Trump set up a trap for the media and they took the bait. It’s not “oppo info.” It’s Russia using a cyber espionage campaign against his opponent & Trump willing to benefit from it. That is far worse than “oppo info.”

Is anyone surprised? Of course not. Trump is a man without scruples.

It is obvious that the White House has a nonexistent relationship with our nations intelligence community. This unprecedented environment will eventually lead to disaster both foreign and domestic. Dangerous times! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Like the dossier paid by HRC?

FBI literally just used foreign oppo research against Trump. HELLLLLOOO!!!!!

.realDonaldTrump just welcomed to foreign interference in the 2020Elections .GOP?

HE DID NOT SAY THAT. HE SAID HE WOULD LISTEN AND REPORT IT TO FBI.

And why not? Obama and Democrat have used the same tactic on him. In fact Democrat pay for it. Hillary and Obama has paid no consequences for paying the Steele the British spy who hated Trump and Russians for dirt on Trump.

How about the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Obama Administration and FBI, CIA,State Dept. Harry Reid, Mark Warner, Adam Schiff, British, Australian and Italian spy agencies.... the biggest political fraud perpetrated on the American people!

Um vagabundo genocida desgraçado maluco um cara como você Donald Trump tem que ir para a cadeira elétrica vagabundo

If not illegal, at least is unethical and sign of corrupt character, not worthy to be POTUS

Wow! I bet you don't hear much from the Republicans, though if Obama had said something like that the Republicans would be outraged.

Exactly as he did during his campaign

Nancy? Hello. When will enough be enough?

Here’s some more foreign interference

Here’s foreign interference for you

Every US president has received help from Israel but somehow now when trump does it everyone is losing their minds. People don’t want to wake up to the fact that you’ve been getting screwed all these years and that our political system was broken long time ago.

Those are the words of a traitor.

ImpeachTheMF !

There are a lot of ignorant people in the news world and otherwise that still don't get the real Trump and who and what he is. Laws and rules mean nothing to him. He doesn't see them as things he has to understand, or live by. He was a dictator of America on day one.

You guys are really pathetic! ~ America

Doesn't get dumber than this . His idiocy and other malignant disorders are undeniable. Why isn't his illegitimacy for this office?

Well, between Trump, McConnell and the 'look the other way' GOP why would we expect anything different.

DEMOCRATS ACCEPTED STEELE'S HELP ....

Oh my god, what a misleading and slanted article.

You already did.

Today, Trump became President of Hell.

This is how a criminal who has never suffered a single consequence of his actions talks. realDonaldTrump won’t stop on his own; he’s going to keep pushing & ignoring the law unless he and his accomplice Barr are stopped. But with a Congress full of enablers & abettors...

Good!

Treasonous.

Yeah, give Bag Lady credit... after she paid $10 million to the Russians for dirt she did hand it over to the FBI.

He added that members of Congress “all do it.” Did Trump just drag Mitch and the bulk of the GOP under the bus with him? Remember there’s a Kentucky project funded by a Russian oligarch.

Remove DumbDumb realDonaldTrump

realDonaldTrump is DomesticEnemyNumber1

Under Oath of Office to which Mr. Trump swore, 'Under the laws of a state it may be considered treason or a high crime to betray a sworn oath of office.”

Ok, now put it in context.

I guess this is his version of protect and defend the Constituition. This is what he means by his auspices.

Traitor!!!

Seeing as the FBI would already know, Trump is trolling the MSM.

This is TREASON! ImpeachTrumpNow

He has already been there, done that

Republicans don’t care if he cheats and lies and distracts... they just want a growing 401k and conservative Supreme Court. End justifies the means. sad 2020Election TrumpGOP TrumpsWorseThanNixon ImpeachmentNOW

there is not a single candidate out there who wouldn't

Actually what he said was that he would do 'BOTH'

This is basically one of the burglars from 'Home Alone' getting elected President and he makes the other guy Attorney General

What the fuck is wrong with this man.. wtfiwwtm

Did DNC let FBI know? Did Hillary let FBI know that they paid for opportunity research from a BRITISH SPY.

That is because he has ALREADY done this. He IS compromised and should be IMPEACHED! Congress do your job! The interview today shows this creep is guilty!

justinamash You are the last hope for the GOP, could you comment on this please?

No news here, this is entirely consistent with his character.

He didn’t the last time. Why would anybody expect different?

Trump talks like a mob boss, not a president. Not someone who is supposed to respect and uphold the rule of law.

Now THAT's spicy! Ouch!

Why report to an organization that actively tried to corrupt the last election?

No, he said he wouldn’t, no ‘might’ about it. Wow. What else do we need to know he’s corrupt?

NotFitToBePresident. Turbo trend that.

DT is wrong. You do not take oppo research from a foreign source. Period.

His life might not work that way but the Federal Government does. Impeachment is imperative. returntointegrity

trump is and always has been profoundly corrupt and self-serving. He should go to prison for conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

His party let him and his corrupt administration get away with it before so of course he’ll do it again with their blessing.

Considering the level of denigration that Trump has leveled on the FBI, they're going to make sure no of that nature will be in a position to make that offer. The man is being isolated and he doesn't realize it because he's Trump.

Between this and Kushner's responses in the UK interview, I think they're already in bed with a foreign Gov't for 2020 plans...

He said he WON'T. Do your job. Report the truth.

It’s not hard to do hypotheticals. Wrong is wrong. It is clear to everyone. The law is clear and it applies to everyone equally.

Good!! If it’s verified true, use it. Doesn’t matter where it comes from. No fake dossier though.

was christopher steele considered a foreign source? asking for a friend...

Why would he. It worked out for him last time.

Wouldn’t report if info was useful

What else do you need America ? Time to get this idiot out of the white house

No further proof needed to m8k certain, his alliances ppl!!! Cukt45 RussianAsset illegitimate45

He already did with Russia.

Individual 1 doesn't think, period. For decades Russia tried to interfere with our election. Not one candidate accepted until he came with his decades of illegal Russian ties. The KGB works on their assets for years. For our Democracy, he needs to go.

Everything they do is in furtherance of their crimes and treachery. Meanwhile, it's always great to see Hannity stick his own foot in his fat mouth. Hannity Attacks Maddow and Winds Up Admitting that He and Fox News are 'Fake News'

No you will NEVER. Don’t flatter yourself with this dribble

&...we're all ok with this?

It’s time to get him out of our house!! impeach Trump then carry out the rest of the trash.

This is so disturbing. How broken is this justice?

This is News? That treasonous Predator already did in 2016🤯 2020 is all in the works... IMPEACHMENT NOW WTF America 😳❗️ realDonaldTrump foxandfriends GOP thehill ProudResister MalcolmNance

Crumble crumble criminal.

Yeah, give Bag Lady credit... after she paid $10 million to the Russians for her dirt she did hand it over to the FBI.

Mob bosses don’t call the fbi either.

Impeach him. He’s selling our republic to the highest bidders.

Treason.

Then he should go to jail

senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC any comment?

POTUS is TrumpTraitor ?

Hopes & Prayers that no country asks him No doubt Trump will always win every single day

“I’ll never show my military plans to the enemy”. “I fired Comey because of that Russer thing”. “I could shoot someone in Times Square and nothing would happen”. “President Kim thinks Biden is low IQ too”. “I’m a stable genius”. “‘Puerto Rico’, not many know how to say that”

DNC ImpeachmentInquiryNow Robert Mueller's full 448-page legal document might be daunting to read, so here is an 18-page summary he expressly wanted the public to see.

How about if Norway (hahaha) gathered opposition research on Trump and offered it to the Dems? Wonder how he’d feel about needing to call the FBI then.

Time for this traitor to be kick out of our White House

And that combined with the Mueller report just blew up his claims of 'no collusion'

And here we have it firsthand, how the criminal mind works.

This country has done lots of evil, & bad things through out its history including electing Donald Trump.

That might be how YOUR LIFE works, realDonaldTrump, but that's not how AMERICAN DEMOCRACY works. ImpeachmentInquiryNow

Trump says he would accept dirt on political rivals from foreign governmentsPresident Trump said he would listen if a foreign government approached him with damaging information about a political rival. 'I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening,' he said in an interview with ABC News. Well he doesn’t give a hoot about the country, so who is surprised. Clinton and the DNC paid Russian agents for dirt (that they made up) on Trump. If politicians would quit playing dirty (yes, all sides) there would be no dirt to offer! And then there’s what one does with the dirt no matter if foreign or homemade. For a global society we sure are paranoid where dirt comes from. Just some thoughts...
