Like to see a discussion on this. Contribute in some way or get lost. Try to forget it was Trump, imagine any President or candidate getting info on a political opponent. Does it assault democracy or is it part and parcel democracy. Shouldn't the people know? Don't they have the right?

An article if you need context: Is Accepting Information About a Political Opponent From a Foreigner 'an Assault on Our Democracy'?

It’s a phony issue.

Well, then, consider it as a hypothetical. If a politician does something wrong and the source of information a foreigner, shouldn't that be revealed?

Theyve all sought out info/dirt on opponents to help them win, ALL of them, if the information is genuine and wasnt obtained illegally then it should be fair game.
