FEC Chair Delivers Stinging Rebuke Of Trump Call For Foreign Election Interference | All In | MSNBC

Problem is, Trump can't do anything knowingly, because he doesn't know anything.

[kaneo]

DISQUALIFY him from the election SIMPLE.

[bluecinnamon]

The front line of America's democracy is holding.😊

Two foreigners interfering in America's elections telling us that it's illegal for foreigners to interfere in America's elections.

Ellen Weintraub clearly knows her business. Donald Trump clearly does not.

I hate to give Trump any credit, but I have to admit since he's been in the Oval Office I have learned more about my Country and it's many supportive departments. I have never heard of the FEC the Federal Election Commission and those who work in it. I'm impressed and heartened to be introduce to it's Chairperson Ellen Weintraub, the interview made me feel safer. Ms. Weintraub had a 'Wise Woman' quality to her. What an amazing Nation we have.

All you have to do to dodge the law is say that you had a meeting BUT there was nothing worth accepting, but we’ll listen.

[gongills]

So whats the big deal if a foreign country help in the election

[dancingwithnature]

This is boilerplate, simply 'duh' law. So of course, old vacuum-for-brains and company break it.

[kRis-rnso]

I think we are forgetting that in Trump’s brilliant mind, he is President and can make his words law. And what planet is he on? Oh, NASA is naming the next discovered planet Drumpf. To honor Trumps original ancestors the Amazon forest?🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[loquayrocks]

and... trump still goes ahead and asks Ukraine for information on Biden... He's screwed

[CherylO]

I knew there was going to be someone within these comments that was going to defend 45's asinine joys of the 1st amendment #sigh

[BangStickky]

So, what they are saying is it okay for the Democrats to use foreign information but NOT Reps.

[mtb]

Does federal law prohibit private servers for use in transmitting/receiving state secrets?

I bet it does....

[juliaset]

Wow, this guy repeats himself so many times he is sounding like Rachel Maddow.

[jmhydn]

This Chris Hayes character is a dweeb. No credibility. Zero.
