Actually I think that's entirely the point. This is nowhere near all "you" got. The good stuff isn't out yet.

2. Trumps team offered Russia a quid quo pro.
a. Can never be proven, it would be Flynn's word against his with absolutely no evidence. If they had evidence they wouldn't need Flynn to tell them this. A lawyer would shoot that down in 5 seconds over he said she said with no evidence.


So that's all you got and that's why this is really nothing.
Then why did Flynn lie about it?

The "Former Obama Official" that Obama fired, and then warned Trump about. The same official that Sally Yates also warned the trump admin about right?

The same official that Trump said "was a good guy" several times?

LOL

Yeah but that admission would make it a LOT harder to keep their balance out on a limb that gets thinner and thinner every day. It's far easier if they can paint the simple-minded fantasy that only "leftists" oppose Trump.

Sorry, Looneys. The media keeps lying and you keep clicking. Start watching Fox News so you know what is really going on.
Oh that's rich.

Incoming administrations are civilians which are not supposed to negotiate with foreign governments by law. I agree with you that everyone does it, you are getting into the Hillary using a private email server when the last two SOS also did which for all intent purposes is everyone because the technology was not adapted prior to.
I dont care either way, I sure as hell dont want to see President Pence and whatever smoke this is it can only hurt the GOP in 18 and 20, I am perfectly ok with death by a thousand cuts.
#fakenews


Incoming admins absolutely do talk to foreign governments, that's already been established as normal practice. NO OTHER politician, SoS or anyone in DC set up their own email server. It NEVER happened before. So before you try to go any further, brush up on truth then come back.

No idea who your source is but they are wrong. There are dozens of other charges he can get hit with if he doesn't hold up his end of the bargain. And his son can be charged too. All of that is hanging over his head.

I don't know, you need to ask him. Maybe because he didn't register as a foreign agent? You didn't see Trump deny that his team spoke with the Russians and other foreign governments did you? No, he came right out and said they did. It's the supposed quid quo pro that is illegal, not the contact.
