This is a reminder that Steele was requested to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump by the Jeb Bush campaign, and it was suggested originally by John McCain.
Jeb didn't use it, that is when he sold it to Fusion GPS, who gave it to the DNCC. That's when a member of their staff met with FBI agents to make the accusation that Trump was working with Russia. Their own forensics team dismissed the thing as absolute hogwash, but the FBI falsified their own FISA warrant in order to get a judge to approve wire-tapping the Trump campaign.
This is a little different in that it is FAR more direct.
No, this is far more direct than anything the Russians were even accused of. They claimed the Russians worked with Trump and WikiLeaks to steal the DNC emails, and then that prevented Hillary from winning.
In reality they ran a couple Facebook accounts, (their most popular was a BLM chapter that wasn't real) and posted a shitty Bernie Bro meme.
Openly advertising their attempts to send in agents to influence the election? No fear of arrest? Total trust in the embedded US apparatchiks to assist them...? Not even the British government bothers to pretend America is not a banana republic any more.
Anyways, this is a problem in general with the political Left. The Canadian Left sends literally thousands of activists south every election cycle. No word on Israel, Saudi Arabia, China, or Qatar's numbers. They can't make direct donations, but there's nothing to stop activists from volunteering... well, nothing outside of the fact that it's foreign election interference but we don't do anything about that.
You ever hear of the Republican party sending even one person to any other country? Me neither.
I'm hoping everyone here already sees the irrelevance of this statement, but for completion's sake, the Labour party are not some garden variety foreigners. They are the party in government in the UK. That makes any member of them coming over to the US, for the purposes of influencing US policy, a foreign agent, who is required to register. If they go ahead and assist Harris' election campaign while making any statements about not being foreign agents during border clearance, then they're engaged in fraud and criminal election interference.
But for all that the midwits on Twitter who are screaming about 'muh brits', your problem remains homegrown. What's to say the Biden govt just won't just give the all clear to all these Labour commies to assist Kamala on US turf? What LEA is going to get involved? What judge is going to uphold anything? I doubt the Labour party would have made this post without knowledge of a prior invitation.
Don't be silly, rules only apply to the peasantry, your betters and their chosen pets can do as they please, now kindly eat your insect paste before returning to your pod, there's a good chap
On a related note, less than 4 months after winning one of the biggest majorities in UK history, Labour is now behind Farage's Reform party in several polls.
The people who are coming to stump for Kamala are so toxic and repulsive that even their own citizens couldn't even pretend to like them.
Also, isn't this election interference? How is Trump going to react to this when Starmer's government has to deal with him?
So...Putin has endorsed Kamala, Zelenskyy™ campaigned for her (on taxpayer dime, people should go to jail), Iran offered and potentially gave/sold hacked election data to her, and now the UK Labour Party is campaigning for her.
Do I have that right?
I wish Trump was the extremist his opponents portray him as...because we need some serious, serious cleaning, some serious swamp draining, and some serious fucking consequences for the people who facilitated all this nonsense.
They're gonna tell us our system is outdated and "racist" and that we need to get rid of the first and second amendments and shitlibs will cheer it on.
They must be terrified Kamala will lose. Before I became a Conservative I was Labour Party staff and an elected councillor. I can't remember us ever sending hundreds of staff over there!
Plus, we were very shy of it because of the time Bill Clinton laid into the Conservative Prime Minister John Major over supporting the Republicans and Major had to personally apologise.
Yeah this is a thing. It shouldn’t be, but is. I remember back in 2012 or 16 it was a bit if a scandal here in aus, they managed to go further and get taxpayers to fund the trip.
it's time we end this charade of foreign interference in our elections. we must prosecute and jail anyone who takes money or help from a foreign government!
If Trump manages to beat election "fortification" and win I say he send a delegation of 200 MAGA staff (current and former) to the next British election to campaign against Labor.
ok but nigel fararge has been doing the same thing for trump, at least he has a bit of a following, 100 nobodies is pretty much meaningless, its not like liberal in america knows british mps names and i dont even think they are mps, just labour party staff
So... exactly the sort of thing Democrats were baselessly saying Russians are doing?
To be fair, they did the same in 2016.
Where do you think the Steele dossier came from?

Straight from Alinsky. Accuse the other side of exactly what you are doing.

If the answer by all Americans to this isn't immediately 'FUCK OFF REDCOATS!' then you should immediately forfeit your American citizenship..
What the devil?
TALLY HO, LADS!
Exactly.
Arrest them as foreign agents.

Musk tweets "This is illegal" and receives a community note with an FEC source stating that's it's okay for foreign nationals to assist in election campaigns.

Imagine my shock that it's a Paki leading the charge.
I'm shocked. I assumed a grooming gang leader would be in the Green Party.
Patel is an indian name, by the way.

The whole swamp in action ( and Putin just wanting a retarded weakling in control of an opposing superpower ).
Who do they think they are, Israel?
Tally ho, lads!
Great minds think alike. I just commented that in another response before I saw yours.
Tally ho, lads, indeed.
Election interference.

Isn't this the sort of thing the Left constantly accuses its opponents of doing, with attempts at jailing them over the accusations?
