The media and the Left (same difference) exploded on Thursday when Trump said he would listen to a foreign country if they said they had ‘dirt’ on a candidate. Idiots far and wide shook their little idiot fists screeching that this proved Trump MUST BE IMPEACHED because … reasons.
Sean Davis wrote a biting thread about their reaction and their ‘obscene hypocrisy’ that really put the entire situation into perspective.
If using foreigners to dig up dirt on American candidates bothers you, then you should be livid about the Clinton campaign/DNC tapping a foreign spy who *by his own admission* colluded w/ Kremlin officials to smear Trump. If you're mad about Trump, but not Clinton, you're a hack.

We knew the media were hacks long before now but fair point.
Clinton didn't break any laws by funding Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele (although her campaign may have violated disclosure laws by fudging the purpose of the expenditures), and Trump didn't violate any laws when his staff held a single meeting. Only idiots dispute this.

And boy howdy, there are a lot of idiots out there these days.

The point of bringing up the Clinton campaign's use of a foreign spy who himself colluded with Russians is not to say it was illegal, but to note the obscene hypocrisy of those in media who pretend the Trump Tower meeting was criminal but Christopher Steele's dossier is kosher.

Hillary was just trying to protect the country and stuff, man.
ORANGE MAN BAD.
And if you're too stupid to understand this, you probably shouldn't be working in politics, and you certainly shouldn't be in journalism, a profession which used to require its practictioners to grok basic facts about the subjects of their reporting. https://t.co/u98lSMhhDo

Ouch.
So much ouch.
You know the yahoos at CNN felt that one.
But let’s not pretend they’re too stupid to understand this, they’re not. They just have a narrative to push and an agenda to support and they assume their readers are too stupid to understand this, which is honestly even worse.

Not just "tapped a spy" but laundered the money through a law firm to do it.

This, all day long. The liberal mindset always seems to be, “Its ok for us to do it, but not anyone else!”.
