Joe Manchin: Shouldn’t It Be Illegal for Campaigns to Meet with Foreigners to Collect Oppo?

RUSH EXCERPT:

MANCHIN: "I know you just reported of. The effort will be there to get this done as quickly as possible. There is no set time whatsoever, and again, the committee of intelligence in the Senate works different than any committee I've ever been or any other committee. It goes through things piece by piece. They should come together to make sure they have the full picture. Then we move from there. But they're doing their job. Wolf, I would like to say one thing. You know, they've been asked about these meetings and they should have happened or shouldn't have happened, how many people were in meetings with Russia. You know they're illegal, and everybody in the campaign, especially a Senate or Congress campaign or any campaign. We know it's illegal to take any financial contribution from any foreigner, from a foreign country. That is illegal under our campaign laws. It just tells you common sense that that is not legal. It's an illegal transaction. Shouldn't it be illegal for us to have meetings with people for those same purposes?"
