Question for Trump haters
-
Based on The leaks about the campaign from the democrats did they or did they not attempt to interfere in and subvert our democracy?
By publishing that information did the Washington Post?
By leaking information from the FBI did those agents?

First... as I am not a "Trump hater" I hesitated to click on the thread. But since Stinky is clearly not a "Trump hater", I figured I would not be labelled one either. Then when I saw that cal is here as well, I knew I was safe.

By leaking information from the FBI did those agents?Are you asking whether contemporaneously "leaking information about Russian attempts to interfere with our election process" interfered with our election process?
Seriously, I'm asking...

I guess what I'm asking is how do we define interfering with our election? Is any kind of dirty campaign trick and interference into the pier and honest democracy some people believe exists?
For instance, and allow me to use this semi facetious hypothetical, a mayoral candidate lives next to me and beats his wife. I set up my video camera from a hidden location take some footage and released that footage on YouTube.
Let's also say I've informed his opponent about this.
I'm assuming there are regulations against filming the inside of someone's home without their permission.
Let's say she has consistently refused to press charges. Am I interfering with the electoral process at that point?

Of course by trump hater I mean those who actually hate the guy, those who are opposed to his presidency, and those that just bitter about him because they think it makes them sound cool or they like to fuck with Cal.

PSI do realize that the next door neighbor with the video camera is not a true metaphor but you get the idea...

OK... back....
Not sure your hypothetical helped, but there are certainly invasion of privacy laws. No expertise here, but I recall a story about a writer that rented a two-story home in Alaska next to one rented by Sarah Palin. From a deck off the 2nd floor of the home he rented he could see into Palin's backyard and had set up video and still-shot cameras. She sought legal remedy to ban his "invasion", but was rebuffed, so she built a 16' fence as needed to block his vantage point.
So assuming you did nothing that enabled you to record that which would be in public view from your property, then I believe you'd be legally "safe" in recording a "normal" interaction between your neighbors. And, IMO, it would not be a "dirty trick".
On the other hand... hiring a hooker, let's say a Rebecca De Mornay look-alike, to "mistakenly" knock on his door and then recording nature taking its course would be.
Once recorded then what you did with the "tape" could turn less innocent, e.g., if it used by you, or others to whom you provided the recording, to coerce the candidate into withdrawal from your fictitious race, a/k/a "blackmail". But it's outright release, compensated or not? Fair game as best I can tell.
I'll extend the exercise one more step and ask you... If a third neighbor sees what you are doing, i.e., recording your neighbor, should they tell the neighbor that you are surveilling?
Now back to the 2016 Campaign... It was on 10/07/16 that DHS posted the following:
The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
This was not a leak. This was a finding and a public warning to states to be extra vigilant in safeguarding their election processes. Such information, five-weeks before the election had to be disseminated and any attempt to keep it "quiet" would have been futile given the width and breathe of its distribution.
Once publicized its use by any parties becomes "fair game". While release of the joint statement does not retroactively render any related leaks that preceded it "lawful", it would, I imagine, reduce the priority of their investigation.

wait. wth was that? Sarah Palin's backyard was pass-protected? and the russians stole her
backyard backdoor password?
Hacking goes on all the time. But this nonsense narrative is just pouty, enraged
sour grapes to the doofacrat progressives/commies/sociailist snowflake sombeitches' side.

I mean, don't get your expectations too high on put in Bay. But it's a fun trip.

Frankly I probably wouldn't visit there if I hadn't been working there for all these years. Depends what you enjoy doing with your leisure time I guess. People ask me if I go out after my gig and see other entertainers and I very rarely do. No disrespect but I don't want to hear a bunch of guys playing the same shit i play.
What if you like that kind of stuff there's plenty of it. We do have a microbrew which isn't great but......
A lot of restaurants none of which are chains.
