Wait- the alt right loves conspiracies, yet you call this a conspiracy and don't like it?

Laughable. God the alt right wingers are truly a pathetic little bunch.

Your hysterics are also galvanizing the Right wing base, which, like it or not, would make it difficult for such an action to go through. Simply, your hyperbole and loud crying is draining your side of all political currency. You're merely fooling yourselves into thinking that it is adding to that currency. Again, volume is not product.

It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony."


Yes we all know how seriously the law is taken :

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/44/3106
(a)Federal Agency Notification.— The head of each Federal agency shall notify the Archivist of any actual, impending, or threatened unlawful removal, defacing, alteration, corruption, deletion, erasure, or other destruction of records in the custody of the agency, and with the assistance of the Archivist shall initiate action through the Attorney General for the recovery of records the head of the Federal agency knows or has reason to believe have been unlawfully removed from that agency, or from another Federal agency whose records have been transferred to the legal custody of that Federal agency.
(b)Archivist Notification.— In any case in which the head of a Federal agency does not initiate an action for such recovery or other redress within a reasonable period of time after being notified of any such unlawful action described in subsection (a), or is participating in, or believed to be participating in any such unlawful action, the Archivist shall request the Attorney General to initiate such an action, and shall notify the Congress when such a request has been made.



So I suppose after resigning, Flynn might run for president in 2020...



however I agree that he should resign even for just appearances. The laws need to be followed.

Are you speaking to me? Try quoting something I wrote first. It's forum etiquette.

I'm not alt-Right. I'm Right. Also, I don't traffic in conspiracy theories. Whereas, the Left has institutionalized them over the past few months.

Do you "love" beating people in the head with bricks? Because that's what the alt-Left does. Should we laugh at your complaint if you take a brick to the head?

Keeping up with the poor logic of the Left on this forum is a full time job.

I called out the laughable degradation of quality of CD threads, such as this one. Usually, I ignore and am fine with that.

However, this thread deserved special attention because it would have been so easy to make the original post a quality post as there is a basis for discussion here. The tragedy was in the lost potential.

Instead, the OP is using his ability to start a thread as a basis for expressing whatever sputtering fit of rage that he had in his mind. This is common here, and is not worthy of comment, except when it is used to start a thread and especially one that would have otherwise had potential.

Democrats are shameless hypocrites who simply cannot get over the fact that Hillary was defeated. That's really all there is to it.
Let's me get this straight - - A Republican president (with the IQ of a wet napkin) colludes with Russia... and you think it makes the Democrats look bad?!

The right-wing bubble = where facts and reason go to die.

It's obvious this Congress is going to refuse to investigate one of their own. We need a few real investigative reporters out there on the order of Bernstein and Woodward to conduct a real investigation. Are there any of those left?
I doubt even that will be necessary - - the intel community (particularly the CIA) loathe Trump. They'd love nothing more than to take this circus clown down - - they actively working on that as we speak.

Right-wingers who think Flynn acted alone are in deep deep denial.

They are running to their safe spaces right now. The dream of a western, transnational ethnostate is crumbling before their eyes.

Actually, they're all up in the elections forum reliving the glory days of the election. It's hilarious up there. All they can talk about is what happened three months ago. I guess it's how they intend to NOT talk about what's happening right now. I expect the puddles from all those melting snowflakes to start dripping down into the P&OC forum any time now.

Nice admission to a seditious conspiracy. The administration may have to take action to quell such treason.

We're a first world democracy for and by the people. The United States will not be run by a shadow government.

You underestimate the damage that the liberals did to themselves in the election season and around the inauguration. They may have made recovery to any across-the-isle credibility impossible.
