So what is it when the media gets dirt on people and publishes it? How about if  a candidate sought to get dirt on Hillary from another American? Dirt is dirt, it doesnt matter where it comes from as long as it can be proven true or false.  The intent was to damage Hillary and help Drumpf, if Hillary has nothing to hide as she says than no dirt can be unearthed and we have no story.

Do you really not understand the difference between a news organization cooperating with a foreign government and the President's advisors and family members?  The former does not dictate foreign policy.  The latter does.

It's the same reason why me having a close personal friendship with a mob boss probably wouldn't matter, but the police chief having a close personal relationship with a mob boss would be cause for public concern.

We don't want a conflict of interest, especially in the highest office in the country.

Wait, so the President shouldn’t have a close relationship with a foreign leader? WTF are you talking about? A news organization cooperating with a foreign government is even worse LOL. All they have to do is feed them BS news stories and the entire country gets spoon fed the opposing governments BS, oh wait we already have CNN for that. 

 

At this point you have so many conflicts of interest it’s pretty much impossible to avoid them. The Clinton foundation is a huge conflict of interest, Bush and company having strong ties to oil and Haliburton was a huge conflict of interest. You can say that the war was started to increase income from oil and have an influx of cash into Halliburton but you have to prove it. You can say the speaking fees paid to the Clinton foundation were payoffs for favors from Secretary of State Clinton but you have to prove it etc.  At this point in the game we need to ensure that any information we receive and report on is valid.
