>>Dirt on HRC from the Kremlin during a campaign for president would be of value though yes? I don't think an argument against that would hold up too well.
Yes, but did he ever "solicit" it by that definition? Did he "ask" for it or pay for it? Contrast that with paying for pee pee on Trump from Russians. That's cast iron solicitation, but you don't seem at all outraged by that.
>>Might remember that is was Republicans running against Donald Trump that originally funded this.and the dossier didn't even come out before the November 2016 election.
Nice whataboutism, except that the GOP funder withdrew long before Steele was commissioned, so can't be blamed for the illegal solicitation. And the resulting pee pee dossier was used by the FBI for FISA warrants before the November 2016 election.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
