Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, one of the House impeachment managers, argued Thursday that Democrats’ hiring of a former British spy to collect dirt from Russian sources about the Trump campaign does not constitute foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The New York congressman’s argument was based on the puzzling logic that Democrats paid for the information from the retired spy, Christopher Steele, rather than simply obtaining it.

So foreign interference in an election is ok as long as you buy it, you just can't go dig it up yourself?

Democrats seem to have a whole host of problems including not being able to hear themselves speak.

I remember Bongino playing a clip from CNN with their "expert" claiming that Hillary hired lawyers who hired foreign operatives to gather info on her opponent. That's how it's done ethically and legally.

The fact that someone can stand up and present this "logic" to the world with a straight face is unbelievable.

Just like how her campaign hired a firm who paid people to go start fights at Trump rallies. Apparently it's ok as long as there's a middle man.

Trump should have paid money for dirt on Biden then the investigation into Biden would be legitimate and not corrupt.

They will say anything to cover up their highly illegal and PAID FOR politically weaponized investigations of the President and his campaign. They don't care how stupid they sound.

“Here’s some money, please make up some bullshit dossier about peeing hookers and give it to the FBI”

Steele’s company, Orbis, was under contract to Oleg Deripaska when the dossier was written. The delivery boy, McCain, had dealings with Deripaska too dating back to his presidential run.

The simultaneous “opposition research” of the DNC and the FBI’s “investigation” was a parallel construction scheme meant to make an illegal investigation appear legitimate...anybody that understands the FBI knows about their history with parallel construction schemes.

@RepJeffries What the hell is wrong with you? Low IQ? Trump did not cheat, he wanted an investigation into Joe Biden who cheated. Seriously are you deficient? Biden and his son were they corrupt ones. Bizarro world with partisan hacks.

I don't think that the FBI purchased it.

It's amazing the logic twists that a democrat can do but they're the experts at it.

Wait, isn't the whole bribery/quid-pro-quo angle they spout contingent on an exchange of value for the information?

LOL, even the Dems can't lie well enough to work their way out of their own actions. Impressive.
