As I stated in the opening post, no crime has been committed. Thanks for reiterating that.
Simply releasing a press briefing is a little different then sculpting foreign policy for maximum effect. There is illegal wrong and there is dirty trick wrong. Just because something does not fall into the former category doesn't disqualify it for inclusion in the latter.
How do I propose that we control this? With the very mechanism that you described: our votes. This is exact reason that I'm bringing this to everyone's attention.
To be frank, I'm less concerned with the actual events that were referenced in this post then by the lackadaisical attitude towards deception that I've been encountering. How far does a leader have to go before they cross the line?
