Smug, treasonous ignoramus Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump, ladies and gentlemen:
EXCLUSIVE: Pres. Trump tells @GStephanopoulos he wouldn't necessarily alert the FBI if approached by foreign figures with information on his 2020 opponent: "It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it." https://t.co/yWRxMOsgiu pic.twitter.com/8Y4enHiqrd— ABC News (@ABC) June 13, 2019
He's not only welcoming it, he's saying there won't be any consequences for foreign governments doing so. Of all the low, evil, destructive moments in his sordid presidency, it doesn't get lower than this.
Some selected reactions:
This is just the latest example of what Vice President Biden meant when he said that Mr. Trump is an existential threat to our country. “Unfit to be President” is a gross understatement. @realDonaldTrump is undeserving of any public office, and all Americans should be outraged. https://t.co/vi0gYUxi67— John O.

Well - there you have it. Free-for-all In 2020. Criminals, foreign countries, anyone can do whatever they want to help their preferred candidates and candidates (according to the President) are free and clean of all liability. Russia gets an open door from President Trump. https://t.co/43gNsL65JA— Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) June 12, 2019

FBI Director Wray, May 7: “if any public official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation-state or anybody acting on behalf of a nation-state about influencing or interfering with our election, then that’s something that the FBI would want to know about.”— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) June 13, 2019
Trump this week: It’s wrong to spy on Kim Jong Un but OK to spy on Joe Biden. https://t.co/AhebQFfia1— Max Boot (@MaxBoot) June 13, 2019
Win at all costs. Don’t worry about being beholden to a hostile foreign leader. It’s open season on America. https://t.co/3yiCzoQ8lX— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) June 12, 2019
If this isn’t “collusion” then what exactly would collusion be? https://t.co/JXbNaKBixO— Elie Honig (@eliehonig) June 12, 2019
We await the chorus of corrupted crickets that is the rotted out Republican Party.
Did anyone ask if he'd be OK with his opponent receiving similar information on him? I bet THAT would be a non-starter.
ReplyDeletebluzdude -- great point! He'd consider that "treason!" Irony just died.
ReplyDeleteEvery day this sorry excuse for a human being and sorry excuse for a president takes his party and this country to new depths. He's openly asking for damaging information from foreign countries. Other countries, like Russia and North Korea, have elevated their standing on the world stage as a result of dealing with Trump, so why wouldn't other seedy elements want to get some of that prestige?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how Barr spins this open, obvious statement. Will he say the president was just throwing out a hypothetical and would never accept oppo info in real life? Will he say the president has not and will not ask for foreign input and that this was just a trap set by the lying media? Will he say the president would not be allowed to accept foreign info because his team would not let him do it?
Always lies, always cheats, always finds new ways to diminish the country for his own gain.
