Ok so what if Trump did tell Flynn to contact the Russians. What did he gain by doing so?
Did the Russian give him special knowledge and tips on how to run his campaign and how to beat Hillary?
Did they give him black mail material on Hillary that was taken from her private servers and those wedding plans and yoga routines were used to prevent her from running a good campaign?
If indeed the trail does lead back to Trump we need to know what was gained by contacting the Russians and if somehow this is criminal Trump could always take a term from the Democrat playbook and call it "Opposition Research"....
We already know that the Russians offered Donny Jr., Kushner, and Manafort Hillary's hacked emails (which apparently they never have had). In other words, Russia claims it has committed a litany of crimes to obtain damaging information about Clinton. Trump's family & team jump at the chance to get access.
Campaign manager and campaign advisor are indicted. Two advisers now convicted. And the public trail of evidence is already piled up quite high--much less the yet-to-be released information discovered by the special counsel and uncovered in closed session interviews by Congressional subcommittees.
And Flynn has been charged and now pled guilty for conduct as part of the Trump campaign and administration, NOT as part of the Obama administration.
So Ty Cobb's attempt to deflect culpability back on the Obama administration just makes him and anyone who thinks this is some valid point look stupid.
President Trump has the absolute power to pardon anyone he wants. It's great being in charge.
An excellent point. Now, imagine what would happen if he granted those pardons. It would be the final element necessary to prove criminal obstruction of justice in this case. As soon as Trump is no longer President he would be criminally charged. Also, that combined with the firing of Comey makes an excellent case for his impeachment based on the same obstruction of justice.
I doubt Trump would be stupid enough to issue pardons. However, if he does.....well its his funeral,
I don't think President Trump is having a bad day, he can pardon Flynn and fire Mueller whenever he wants.
yep...... then the shlitz would really hit the fan.
