Trump supporters are either too naive to understand the complexities of what is going on when a person lies under oath in front of Congress, then fails to correct the record when reviewing his testimony in writing, or they just don't care about the rule of law. And more importantly, they don't care to examine too closely why so many of Trump's surrogates leading up to the election were meeting with the Russians just after the USA put sanctions on them. Put these things in context of what was going on at the time! How many times Obama invited the Russian ambassador to the White House is irrelevant.

That's right:

Senator: 30 Dems Met With Russian Ambassador On Iran Deal | The Daily Caller

If 30 Democrat senators meet with a Russian ambassador, then it's just ordinary government business. Even if one of them of lies about the meeting, it's still no big deal.

If a REPUBLICAN senator meets with the same Russian ambassador, then it's automatically a conspiracy.

Funny stuff.

So, it looks like President Obama was secretly conspiring with Russian government officials during his entire term.
Do you read your own linked articles? Do you know the definition of "secretly"?

"...The visitor logs, which Obama made public in 2009 in a push for transparency, show that the long-time Russian ambassador to the United States visited the White House at least 22 times between 2009 and 2016..."

All Flynn, Kushner and Sessions had to do was make it as public as Obama. It's the secrecy and lying that is the problem.

Did these 30 Democrat senators testify in a Congressional hearing that they didn't meet with the Russian ambassador?

Were these 30 Democrat senators working on Trump's campaign before, during and/or after he was elected but failed to disclose their meetings under oath?

Did a then Senator Obama meet with the Russian ambassador and fail to disclose his meetings under oath?

Obama, as POTUS, is authorized to meet with any foreign leader or diplomat he chooses, in secret or not. And he didn't lie about it to Congress.

Obama spent his early formative years in tumultuous Indonesia during the bloody power struggle between Soeharto and Soekarno, who were both great orators.

But why Russia? McCarthyism is so 1940s post WWII. In fact, at the recent opening of Trump Tower in downtown Vancouver officiated by DT's 2 sons, scores of protestors turned up and quickly dispersed under the bad weather. Heck! No Russians there, but 80% of the Trump Tower buyers are from China, paying an average of $1,615 per square foot, a record price for a new condominium project in Canada..
