Utah Rep. Chris Stewart says it would be “foolish” to not accept foreign intelligence on a campaign opponent.
Perhaps he should listen to Ellen Weintraub, chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission: “It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.”
How sad when an elected official says it is OK to break the law in an election. I would have hoped that he would know the rules, as he has participated in an election in the U.S.
I guess he figures it is OK, as he is defending the president, a member of his own party, and a person who has already broken that law.
