Trump campaign: Exploiting hacked/stolen emails is free speech.

Is this statement wrong? "The First Amendment protects the campaign’s “right to disclose information—even stolen information—so long as (1) the speaker did not participate in the theft and (2) the information deals with matters of public concern.”
Receiving stolen information probably a crime, no? If the above becomes the law on stuff like this, all bets are off when it comes to hacking campaigns. Trump aside, I don't think that's a good precedent.GromsDad said:
BTW, this is the new Trump strategy for Mueller. "Well, yeah, we knew they were stealing it but we didn't help them so NO COLLUSION".
Did they really "recieve stolen information" or did they simply use information made public by wikileaks, but largely ignored by the main stream media, to their advantage. I think you know it was the latter. Trump was doing the media's job for them and forcing them to report stuff that they were trying to bury because it was damaging to Obama/Clinton/Democrats.
You don't know because the only news you were probably paying attention to at the time was CNN and MSNBC. If you had been paying better attention you would have seen this stuff on the web long before Trump brought it up or your news sources were dragged kicking and screaming into giving these things coverage.StuAzole said:

Just because we were talking about Kavanaugh doesn't mean the COLLUSHN investigation is not delivering.
Trumptard is producing so many fvck ups daily that it's hard to keep up with all of it at the same time.
I'll just leave this here...
A close adviser to Vice President Al Gore said he had received an anonymously mailed package today that involved material designed to prepare Gov. George W. Bush for his debates with Mr. Gore.
The adviser, former Representative Tom Downey of Long Island, N.Y., said he examined the materials briefly before giving them to his lawyer, who turned them over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation this afternoon. Mr. Downey, who has been helping Mr. Gore prepare for the Bush debates and was standing in for Mr. Bush in mock debates, also said he would recuse himself from any further debate preparation.
The Bush and Gore campaigns are to meet on Thursday to negotiate the debate schedule. If the candidates adhere to a plan set up by a bipartisan commission, the first debate will be on Oct. 3 in Boston.
Campaign officials said they did not know if the materials sent to Mr. Downey had been stolen from the Bush campaign or were meant to trap the Gore adviser in some sort of dirty trick. Mr. Downey's lawyer, Marc Miller, said the material -- a videotape and a sheaf of papers -- arrived in an envelope postmarked Austin, Tex., where the Bush campaign has its headquarters.
The Gore campaign was eager to dissociate itself quickly from the incident. After Mr. Miller called the F.B.I., campaign officials alerted The Associated Press that the packet had arrived and provided a detailed time line of Mr. Downey's actions.

Do you think Kavanaugh probably jumped on little Ms.Blasey back in 1982 or whenever? Held his hand over her mouth and groped her body?
