The question arises from this:
On Friday’s edition of
Morning Joe, FEC chair Ellen Weintraub declined to talk about the specifics of Trump’s case but noted that “the law is pretty clear. ...
It is absolutely illegal for anyone to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with any election in the United States.”
Now its obvious that Clinton campaign and other DNC operatives solicited Steele (
foriegn national) for the dossier.
And Schiff asked Ukrainian comedians (
foreign nationals); that he thought were govt officials, for the pee tape and had his staff follow up with Ukraine's embassy back in '16.
