that if he thought it was significant, he would notify the FBI depending on what kind of information was presented.
Now, you simply cannot exclude "whataboutism" completely here :
What exactly do you think the HRC campaign was doing taking oppo research from Christofer Steele ('retired" MI6) and his Russian sources for the Dossier?
You see, this is all perfectly legal unless you want to make new laws, and the Dems have been doing the same thing for years.
Now, I still think it was foolsih of Trump to give such an interview to Snufflumpigus. There was no need. It was so stupid on the surface of it to give grist to the Dems that it has me wondering if he is trying to force Pelosi's hand on impeachment. After the House files their articles, the trial would take place in the senate where Trump would be able for the first time to mount a defense.........." I call James Comey to the stand". Or Peter Strzok, or Clapper, etc. Not only do the Dems not want those people ever called UNDER OATH to explain their previous conflicting testimony to legislative committes, they do not want Trump getting a "not guilty" verdict (which would happen since in the end, the Dems have got nothing) just prior to the next election.
I am speculating on this, and i haven't decided yet if Trump is pulling a move or whether he is simply self destructive. I'm leaning toward the latter at present though.
