Stephanopoulos’ gotcha question.

Published by Chief Editor, Sammy Campbell. Written by Mark Pullen.

George asked the President if he were contacted by another government in regards to information on a political opponent, would he take it? There is no law against listening to anyone in our country. The President is the chief law enforcement official in the Executive Branch. By charge in the constitution, the President must enforce the laws passed by Congress. 

As in President Trump’s example, if Norway, a NATO ally, had information on a political opponent, he would have to listen or direct the government’s agent to a law enforcement agency. I will give two examples:

Norway has proof from a Kremlin source that Senator Sanders has a Russian agent in his campaign. Moreover, the agent reported to his handlers that Senator Sanders did order James Hodgkinson, a campaign volunteer, to shoot Republicans at the baseball field. George, should the President accept the video evidence from the Norwegian agent?

A Norwegian agent says Mexican intelligence passed evidence to the Norwegian embassy that Nancy Pelosi is working for the drug cartels. This is why Pelosi has blocked all efforts to secure the Southern border. The Norwegian agent says Norway has evidence of offshore account deposits by the cartels into Pelosi’s accounts and video evidence of her husband in meetings with cartel agents. George, should the President accept or view the evidence?

Of course, in my two examples, if the President forwarded this evidence to FBI Director Wray, the Democrats would cry bloody murder that President Trump had weaponized the FBI against his political opponents.
