when bill clinton was president, british airways was in a dispute with american carriers. bill
clinton contacted british PM tony blair and said this...

“in a political season, it would be big over here to get this open sore resolved. if you could have somebody take a look at it.”

President Clinton, explicitly asking a foreign power for a favor, for political benefit, meaning for the express purpose of influencing the outcome of an american election.

no biggie when Bill Clinton does it, the end of the world when Trump does it.
