And here is the election law in question:

And why the Steele Dossier comparisons by Trump supporters can be interpreted as a red herring:

I tend to agree with Rep. Adam Schiff's take on what is going on here:
In an interview with me, Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, pointed out that the message Trump has now sent to Russia — effectively greenlighting another assault on his behalf — is also bolstered by the fact that “he’s putting his own intelligence agencies under investigation.”
Trump told ABC News that he might not call the FBI if his campaign were offered help again by a foreign power, and that there would be nothing wrong with accepting information on that basis.
In other words, Trump has now suggested he will not alert law enforcement agencies about such an offer of help, even as his attorney general appears to be simultaneously working to discredit law enforcement’s findings about the last Russian attack, thus absolving Russia of that effort even as Trump invites a new one....
"Barr’s sole objective as attorney general when it comes to foreign interference in our election is to inoculate the president, by investigating his critics,” Schiff told me, and “by investigating the law enforcement agencies who had the temerity to do their jobs and protect the country against an unscrupulous campaign that was accepting foreign help.”
Underscoring these concerns, the New York Times reportsthat Barr’s inquiry seems aimed at questioning whether it was valid for intelligence officials to conclude that Russia interfered in the election for the purpose of helping Trump, and not just to sow discord generally.
In short, Barr may be trying to discredit conclusions about Russia’s motivation to help Trump win — never mind that Mueller extensively documented this — even as Trump has now said he’d welcome more interference on his behalf.
“I think what the attorney general has in mind is doing his own version of the Nunes memorandum, where he will selectively declassify information to give a false or fraudulent picture of what took place, in order to help the president,” Schiff continued.

Basically everything I have heard about Trump's comments about receiving help from other countries to win an election has been that Trump was totally out of line. Even Fox News and many Republicans have been blasting him.
Yet you still have the sheep on jazz fans, some of whom actually claim to not like Trump lol, defending him.
I mean come on Joe. Just admit that Trump shouldn't have said that ****.

Ironic that persecution complex and victim mentality are Trump's main calling cards.
40% of voters would support the guy if he was caught on tape with an assault rifle in an elementary school mass shooting. They may even support him more. Second amendment, yo.
But Obama wore that tan suit. Outrageous!!!!
gerrymandering could be solved with a constitutional amendment that requires that the map with the fewest miles of "border" must be used. Anyone can propose a map. Quant dudes can writer their sophisticated algorithms, others can use an etch-a-sketch. Easy to find an objective winner. Totally apolitical. Who disagrees?
Which one of us is hyper partisan again?
If Trump told you he was running a child sex slave ring and torturing puppies you'd say the same thing.
Come on Joe, we know you have a brain. Please reactivate it after you get past this Trump infatuation.

At this point, anyone who still brings up Hillary to justify anything that trump says or does should be immediately dismissed as the troll that they are. My goodness, it’s 2019 and the right is STILL bringing up Hillary ****ing Clinton.
Anyone who supports Trump is a traitor to the USA. A traitor to the truth. A traitor to decency.
