FUTURE students and teachers civic studies

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Ukraine_scandal

EXTREMELY LONG DETAILED history of the king's scandal.....PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION to the paragraph tilted DONALD TRUMP..
it is explicit about solicitation of foreign gov and ILLEGAL actions....this is what will be in history books for decades to come...do the research,
because teachers of history WILL BE teaching this topic and how our government went wrong....

FOR THOSE WHO ELECT TO IGNORE FACTS.....and refuse to view Wikipedia as a source....
get a clue...THIS will be what your future grandchildren and great grand children will be studying
in poli sci.

You honestly think so? Are the students studying anything? An absurdly high amount of Americans haven't heard of the Holocaust. I think you have to blame that on the schools.
I really doubt they are going to spend a week studying suspension of aid to Ukraine. Foreign aid is always give and take. Example, Israeli and Egyptian financial aid must be spent on US goods. So Israel and Egypt buy Caterpillar tractors, pleasing senators in Illinois.

"chair of the Federal Election Commission, Ellen Weintraub, reminded Americans that according to federal law: "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."[64]"

From your citation, HA.

How do you classify the Steele dossier"?

THE KING'S claim to fame is, he was IMPEACHED, only THREE people in recent times have
that infamous title...I am REAL SURE that will be in history books. WELCOME to real recognition.

HA,
Once again you are deflecting. Please tell us your opinion regarding the Steele dossier and its relevance in light of Ms. Weintraub's comment.

What the DNC, Clinton campaign, and Steele knew

According to Fusion GPS's co-owners, Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, they did not tell Steele who their ultimate clients were, only that Steele was "working for a law firm",[13] and they "gave him no specific marching orders beyond this basic question: 'Why did Mr. Trump repeatedly seek to do deals in a notoriously corrupt police state that most serious investors shun?'"[58]

Jane Mayer reported that when the Clinton campaign "indirectly employed" Steele, Elias created a "legal barrier" by acting as a "firewall" between the campaign and Steele. Thus, any details were protected by attorney–client privilege. "Fusion briefed only Elias on the reports, Simpson sent Elias nothing on paper—he was briefed orally", Mayer reported.[13] In its application for a FISA warrant to survey Carter Page, the Department of Justice told the FISC that Simpson had not informed Steele of the motivation behind the research into Trump's ties with Russia.[51] Steele testified to Congress that he did not know the Clinton campaign was the source of the payments "because he was retained by Fusion GPS".[82][12] By "late July 2016",[33] "several months" after signing the contract with Fusion GPS, Steele became aware that the DNC and the Clinton campaign were the ultimate clients.[13]

A spokesperson for the DNC said neither Tom Perez nor "the new leadership of the DNC were ... involved in any decision-making regarding Fusion GPS, nor were they aware that Perkins Coie was working with the organization."[47] A spokesperson for Perkins Coie said the campaign and the DNC were unaware that Fusion GPS "had been hired to conduct the research".[83] The Washington Post reported that it is not clear how much of the research Elias received from Fusion GPS he shared with the campaign and the DNC. It is also not clear who in those organizations knew about the roles of Fusion GPS and Steele, but one person "close to the matter" said the organizations were "not informed by the law firm of Fusion GPS's role".[46] The New York Times revealed that earlier in 2017, "Mr. Elias had denied that he had possessed the dossier before the election."[83][47] The Clinton campaign did not know about Steele or that Steele was sharing his findings with the FBI, and "one top Clinton campaign official" told Jane Mayer that "If I'd known the F.B.I. was investigating Trump, I would have been shouting it from the rooftops!"[38]

The firewall was reportedly so effective that even campaign principals John Podesta and Robby Mook did not know Steele was on the Democratic payroll until Mother Jones reported on the issue on October 31, 2016.[13] When the Mother Jones story broke, John Podesta, chairman of the Clinton campaign, said he was "stunned by the news that the FBI had launched a full-blown investigation into Trump, especially one that was informed by research underwritten by the Clinton campaign." Although they knew Perkins Coie had spent money for opposition research, neither Podesta nor campaign manager Robby Mook knew Steele was on the Democratic payroll. Mayer said they both maintain they "didn't read the dossier until BuzzFeed posted it online".[13] She has also said that "the Clinton campaign never learned that Christopher Steele was on their payroll until it [the dossier] was in the press."[84] "Far from a secret campaign weapon, Steele turned out to be a secret kept from the campaign."[13] In their 2019 book, the founders of Fusion GPS wrote "... that no one from Fusion ever met or talked with Clinton and that she herself 'had no idea who they were'."[45][38]
