Mueller specifically wrote that the First Amendment would "pose constraints" on any prosecution of Don Jr. or Kushner for merely receiving info from a person who happened to be a foreigner. Funny how Mueller of all people is more cognizant of these issues than most in the media

The "hostile foreign power" construct, invented by Russiagaters, is key to making this talking point sound plausible. After all, Clinton's campaign proxies not only received, but actively solicited, derogatory information on candidate Trump from foreign sources in 2016.

Yes. And the staffer shouldn't set up a meeting at Trump Tower to meet with them, saying 'if it's what you say, I love it'.

In this example, what steps would the Harris campaign take to confirm the source and the reliably of the information? And shouldn’t they question why this hypocritical Norwegian is providing useful dirt?

To be fair, the FBI will let those Democrats leverage their "info" into a way to smear their opponents. Seems like that is the problem
