You printed half of it in your post for me to see.  Had I not seen the law when you posted it in the other thread I probably would have taken you at your word.  It seems you deliberately tried to mislead in your post.  We’ve disagreed a million times but I don’t recall you doing this before. There is an “or”.

So please tell me what foreign national involved in the Fusion GPS report did any of this.

(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;
(B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or
an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 30104(f)(3) of this title); or




Hint:  No one.


The mental gymastics you all are going through to defend Trump is alarming.  A campaign dealing directly with a foreign spy with no connection to the US or regulation under US law is completely differnt from hiring a US agency to do legitimate research.

Trump sure was right about his followers not minding if he shot someon in the street.  They would find some way to prove it didn't matter or else "BUT HILLARY....."
