Jonathan Turley: If Trump Meeting is Illegal, then Clinton Dossier is Criminal Too … Actually Much More Criminal
SO WHY DOES THE MSM ONLY SEE THAT TRUMP’S ACTION WERE CRIMINAL AND NOT HILLARY?
From Jonathan Turley of The Hill comes the following logic when trying to figure out why the liberal media would call one action by Donald Trump Jr. a crime, but completely dismissing the actions of Hillary Clinton and the Russian dossier. The liberal media in their efforts of “gotcha” of President Trump at any and all cost have basically described a crime, that of which Hillary Clinton did, not Donald Trump.
CNN, co-host Alisyn Camerota claims claimed that it is an “open and shut case” that taking dirt on Hillary from the Russians was a crime by the Trump campaign. Really? The CNN host does realize that no dirt was gained and the meeting was ended soon after, correct? Now compare that with what Hillary Clinton did. Dear Ms. Camerota, then what would you call it when Hillary Clinton bought and paid for the so called Russian Dossier from former British spy Christopher Steele (a foreign national) who dealt with the Russians to get info? As lawyer and legal scholar, Jonathan Turley clearly points out in a fair and unbiased manner, fi the LEFT thinks what the Trump campaign did was a crime, then the Clinton campaign was times 100! One was a meeting, end of story, the other was a bought and paid for Russian dossier by Hillary.
Take the crime being proclaimed as “open and shut.” Before Camerota came to this conclusion, the CNN anchors discussed federal election laws that make it a “crime for any person to solicit, accept, or receive, anything of value from a foreign person or U.S. political campaign for the purpose of influencing any elections for federal office.” Thus, if Trump Jr. was willing to review evidence of criminal conduct by Clinton, it must be a type of foreign campaign contribution and, therefore, a federal crime.
Such logic is so inescapable that Camerota responded, “I mean, what more really is there to talk about after that one?” The answer is “a lot more.” The Russians setting up the meeting said their government had evidence of criminal conduct connected to the Clinton Foundation soliciting illegal donations. According to witnesses, Trump Jr. asked for the promised evidence but Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya said she did not have it and only wanted to talk about Magnitsky Act limitations on Russian adoptions. The meeting ended shortly thereafter.
Consider the implications of what the critics are suggesting. It would mean treating information as a form of political contribution as no different from money, for purposes of a criminal charge, even information about criminal acts by an election candidate. That would mean administrations could prosecute political opponents for merely attending meetings with foreign individuals to discuss the criminal conduct of a sitting American president. Democratic politicians could be charged if they reviewed evidence of alleged bribes or quid pro quos by Trump.
Indeed, it could be any foreign source, since the law is ambiguous. Does that not include foreign organizations like environmental and other public interest groups? How about journalists or lawyers sharing evidence of crimes by powerful politicians? Fortunately, courts likely would reject such an interpretation as a major threat to First Amendment freedoms of speech and even the press. So why are so many journalists and activists blind to implications of such an expansion? The answer is rage. We live in the age of rage, from Trump tweets to cable news crusades.
The latest media frenzy is part of the Newtonian principles that now guide both politics and journalism: “To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.” However, journalists and lawyers are trained to avoid immediate involuntary reactions, particularly when the potential costs are so prohibitive. Responding to a sweeping political tweet with a sweeping legal interpretation is neither equal nor wise. In the end, the Trump Tower controversy is not based on “fake news” as claimed by the president, but the federal crime alleged by the media is based on fake law.

Emails Show 2016 Links Among Christopher Steele, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson and Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska (VIDEO)
JUST WHO WAS THE COLLUSION WITH?
From the Washington Examiner, emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch’s behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. Hmm. As John Solomon of The Hill (Video) states, “Fusion GPS’s work and its involvement with several FBI officials have been well reported, but a close review of these new documents shows just how closely Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, who reported to Obama-era Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, maintained contact with Fusion — and, in particular, its primary source, former British spy Christopher Steele — before, during and after the election. So just who was colluding with who? The individuals who were colluding and up to no good appear not to have been Trump, it was the deep state.
Byron York of the Washington Examiner talks about the link between Steele and DOJ official
Emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch’s behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. The emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele’s research and the oligarch’s affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation.
The emails, given to Congress by the Justice Department, began on Jan. 12, 2016, when Steele sent Ohr a New Year’s greeting. Steele brought up the case of Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska (referred to in various emails as both OD and OVD), who was at the time seeking a visa to attend an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in the United States. Years earlier, the U.S. revoked Deripaska’s visa, reportedly on the basis of suspected involvement with Russian organized crime. Deripaska was close to Paul Manafort, the short-term Trump campaign chairman now on trial for financial crimes, and this year was sanctioned in the wake of Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
Steele also asked Ohr when he might be coming to London, or somewhere in Europe, “as I would be keen to meet up here and talk business.” Ohr replied warmly the same day and said he would likely travel to Europe, but not the U.K., at least twice in February.
Steele emailed again on Feb. 8 to alert Ohr that “our old friend OD apparently has been granted another official [emphasis in original] visa to come to the US later this month.” Steele wrote, “As far as I’m concerned, this is good news all round although as before, it would be helpful if you could monitor it and let me know if any complications arise.” Ohr replied that he knew about Deripaska’s visa, and “to the extent I can I will keep an eye on the situation.” Steele again asked to meet anytime Ohr was in the U.K. or Western Europe.

Pastor Darrell Scott: Donald Trump Most Pro-Black President In My Lifetime (VIDEO)
MORE THINGS YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR HEAR FROM THE MSM, TRUMP MOST PRO-BLACK PRESIDENT …
What if the below statements are really true? What if Trump actually winds up doing more for blacks as president than anyone else? Actions speak louder than words.
As President Donald Trump is flanked to his left by Coretta Scott King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., Pastor Darrell Scott states that President Trump “was the most pro-black president that we’ve had in our lifetime.” Scott went on to say it was Trump, not Obama who has been pro-active in the African-American community, with prison reform and urban revitalization. Pastor Scott then stated, “The last president didn’t feel like he had to. He feels like he didn’t have to. He got a pass.” WOW!!! This is why the LEFT and the liberal MSM are going after TRUMP with 90-93 percent negative news coverage. Trump is a treat to them and their power base. Candidate Trump asked minorities to give him a chance during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump asked, what did you have to lose? Take a look at the amazing results.
DARRELL SCOTT, FOUNDER & PASTOR, NEW SPIRIT RIVAL CHURCH: To be honest, this is probably going to be — and I’m going to say this as the most pro-black president that we’ve had in our lifetime. Because and I try to, you know, analyze the people that I encounter.
This president actually wants to prove something to our community. Our faith based community and our ethnic community. The last president didn’t feel like he had to. He feels like he didn’t have to. He got a pass.
This president, this administration is probably going to be more proactive. We got urban revitalization and prison reform than any president in your lifetime.
When Donald Trump said he would make America great again, he meant everyone. And that is exactly what is going on in the United States today. It is whites, blacks, Hispanics and Asians that are all seeing record low unemployment. Above, Pastor Scott made a very important statement which I believe is very true. The pastor stated, “The last president [Barack Obama] didn’t feel like he had to. He feels like he didn’t have to. He got a pass.” Of course Pastor Scott and anyone who dare support Trump from the black community will be called every racist name in the book and demonized. But the truth is, Obama was provided a pass, by everyone including the media. Trump has a lot to prove, and he is. Don’t listen to the bias MSM and their agenda driven coverage of Trump, look at the results.

Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll: President Trump at 50% … 5 Points Higher than Obama at Same Time … Approval Up Among Hispanics!!!
AMAZING, EVEN WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE PRESS FROM THE LIBERAL MSM …
According to the recent Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, President Donald Trump is at 50%. And amazingly Trump is trending upward. This is almost hard to believe seeing that the liberal MSM has reported over 90% negative stories on Trump. This is even higher than media darling Barack Obama at the same time of his presidency, 5 points to be exact. Who would ever have thought that after the constant barrage of negative reporting and refusing to report positive news of the Trump presidency that Trump would be at 50% in any poll? Blue wave, really?
The American people are seeing the truth for themselves and are realizing Donald Trump really is making America great again, and disregarding fake news.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6.
Even more amazing is a little reported factoid of how Trump is actually gaining support among Hispanics. As stated in a recent Harvard/Harris poll, President Trump is gaining do to a stunning 10% rise in approval among Hispanics. Oh how the LEFT, Democrats and Never-Trumpers must be losing their minds over this one. This will cause them to become even more insane with TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.
In a new Harvard/Harris poll released this week exclusively to The Hill, President Trump’s overall approval rating rose to 47 percent, just two points shy of the highest level of his presidency, per that survey. The main driver of his growing popularity now: a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.
That growing support among Latinos would surely surprise many Trump critics in Washington and the legacy media, who remain fixated on border issues. So intense is their hysteria regarding border enforcement that people like former CIA Director Michael Hayden compared our detention policies to the Auschwitz concentration camp in a tweet and MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch proclaimed on “Morning Joe” that ALL Trump voters are essentially Nazis.
And why are Hispanics liking Trump, just take a look at the record low Hispanic unemployment rate in July 2018. Actions speal louder than words, so do jobs and take home pay over media babble.
