  • Only Trump knows this. Clearly Flynn did something that Trump disagreed with and he got sacked. It's not the first time this has happened in the Trump camp.

Well, at the time it was the first appointee set back anyway.

Russia is no longer the Soviet Union.

It is no longer communist.

It is not considered an enemy of the United States.

And the KGB no longer exists, contrary to what the person I responded to said.

Classified material should NOT be discussed by someone not authorized to discuss such. Flynn and campaign aides were NOT authorized.

So this is why I ask, what specific law has been broken?
Answering my question with a question is no answer at all.

Anything gained through a wire tap or other NSA/CIA monitoring is by definition classified.

And it is illegal to leak it -- in fact, it is a very serious crime to do so.

They were discussing classified material?

How do you know?

If this isn't tamped down, we face a Constitutional crisis and civil war. Where will you be when it happens?
So, you think the government is being run by the intelligence community? Really?
They have so much dope on every member of congress that only bills sanctioned by the intelligence community get passed into law? Really?

I agree that there is heavy influence in government, but it's not intelligence. The 'cabal' is made up of the wealthiest people and corporations. And I also agree that they should be tamped down.
