Democrats’ Hypocrisy on ‘Foreign Interference’
By Andrew C. McCarthy

June 15, 2019 6:30 AM

When a Republican benefits, it’s treason; when Democrats are in charge, the intelligence agencies serve their candidates.

Here’s the main question that arises from Media-Democrat shrieking over President Trump’s twaddle about taking campaign-related information from foreign powers: Is it just silly or actually dangerous?

In our latest episode of Un-reality Government, the president was egged on by — who else? — George Stephanopoulos, a partisan Democrat who is the face of ABC News. When last noticed in an election cycle, the Clinton confidant was setting up Mitt Romney with a question about whether the Constitution permitted the banning of contraceptives. Of course, no one was proposing a ban on contraceptives; the question was strategically planted to seed the Democrats’ War on Women narrative. Common sense, if there were any, would have the administration asking: Why would we give George Stephanopoulos two days of access? If your answer is “Because that worked out so well with Michael Wolff,” pull that résumé together, because there’s surely a White House staff job waiting just for you.

That's a great article.  I've been looking for something that gathers all in one place how the Democrats used information from foreign governments to help their campaigns, and this has it all.

I think the key point that "Getting information from an ally rather than from Russia is fundamentally different" is bogus.  The fact is that allies are just as likely to have preferences in our elections as are enemies, but just because they prefer a candidate doesn't make that a "better" candidate.  Our interests may not align with theirs on a whole host of issues.
