Trump is fine with foreign meddling in our objections. This will encourage his Russian pals. This is not alright. Democrats will say it’s wrong. Let’s see what the Trump cult says.

Trump tells ABC News that the FBI director Chris Wray is "wrong" when he says you should call the FBI if a foreign government offers dirt on your political opponents.

This is an engraved invitation for foreign powers to interfere in our elections yet again. https://t.co/fX7Q3VeI3I

If you’re wondering if the President of the goddamn United States just invited foreign intelligence agencies to hack and spy on his political opponents, he did—PUBLICLY.

Jake Tapper, on President Trump saying he'd be willing to listen to dirt on political rivals as delivered by foreign entities.https://t.co/NgTeIvPFsF pic.twitter.com/leE5k3s0DN
Disgraceful yet sadly par for the course for this president.

When the president talks like this, it’s no wonder @SenateMajLdr McConnell is blocking bipartisan efforts to secure our elections from foreign interference. https://t.co/AOHAlS5pOs
CNN running the clip of Barr saying that if a "foreign intelligence service" offers info, you should call the FBI.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) June 13, 2019
Wait for it: Whoever comes to Trump from Russia or China, Barr will say: "Not a foreign intelligence service." This man parses words for a reason.
Remember 12 JUN 2019. Today was the day a sitting President announced he would accept clandestine help from a hostile power to stay in office.

Translation for the cheap seats: Donald J. Trump, our 45th president, admitted that he is a traitor. On camera.https://t.co/C9hLDR4tcj
Notice how long Barr thought before answering this question? He carefully qualified his answer by limiting it to a "foreign intelligence service." Had Trump previously discussed with Barr his view that obtaining information from foreign governments is okay? https://t.co/QJSUDrtLLq

“Trump is basically telling the Russian dictator that, if you want to intervene in our election again, as long as you do it to help my campaign, I will never call you out on it."https://t.co/6ZF6RHeBfF
The President says the FBI doesn't have enough agents to investigate every report of foreign interference in an election.

A reminder that Counterintelligence is among the FBI's top two investigative priorities across all programs. pic.twitter.com/FrZ0DQ2Oy4
considering the values embodied in this statement, is there any reason to believe Donald Trump Jr would have hesitated for a second to tell his father about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting w/Russians? https://t.co/w4bVjQKQzl

I’ve dealt with oppo research for 30 plus years. Clinton campaign hired a firm that researched Trump’s business. He did business in Russia (lied about it.)That research is standard. Receiving information from intelligence service of hostile foreign power is totally different.

Trump’s strategy is to distract from this by lying about Democrats.
This never happened. Warner, trying to get in touch with Christopher Steele, texted with a Washington lawyer-lobbyist who has represented oligarch Oleg Deripaska and other Russian powerbrokers. There was no entertainer purporting to be an operative. pic.twitter.com/8xd83ZoO9g

He will always stoop lower, smear everything around him with excrement, and diminish absolutely everyone and everything. https://t.co/IpnZPRtKCC
