What I'm cool with is wholly irrelevant. I'm talking legal definitions, or as some might call it "obtuseness."

It is illegal for foreign governments to influence elections through fiscal means. It hasnt always been this way, it was tightened from the more general description you gave earlier to only include money in a 2010 decision. Releasing damaging information does not fall under that.

Yes it does. Every legal analyst agrees. Been hearing it all day from both sides.

Frown is running for Senate against Batlord who is expected to win.

I, being from Butt****istan, provide Batlord with information that Frown likes to **** and kill puppies. He accepts it and uses it in his campaign.

Frown loses.

Bat broke a law. Not his first, actually just one of many, ...... many.

But he screwed up using my information to help him win. He committed a Federal crime.

Not anymore.

This has been a big part of my point for a while now.

The Batlord

Cause everyone knows analysts aren't useless ****s who just blather for a paycheck. Just like all those analysts who insisted that Trump could never win.

But like, what about the law and what it actually says? How come that's irrelevant?

The Senate.

How many more times do I have to state this. The senate decides if a president is toxic and then votes to impeach.

It's the rules. Deal with it. Just like Trump won even though getting over 3 million less votes.

The rules is the rules.

Don't you think that impeaching and convicting someone over something that's not illegal would have significant blowback from constituents, especially for the GOP senators? I maintain that for as long as the is a red majority in the senate, Trump will not be impeached because I think that standing with your party is a far less risky move.

That's what I've been saying this whole time.

Let's pick it up again tomorrow. You're simply ignoring everything I've posted in the last few hours just to argue.

One last point. Once a president gets rancid, party lines dissolve. I got to see both Nixon and Clinton on a daily basis. Politicians are selve serving pricks at the end of the day and will toss a president overboard if it insures they are re-elected.
