I thought everyone understood this.

The reason Flynn got fired was because someone either in the IC, FBI or both has actual transcripts of the calls. The issue with the Russian thing right now isn't what was said/discussed. Its that they met and when asked about it, lied. In Sessions's case he did so under oath.

Sessions biggest issue right now is perjury. Flynn and the campaign in general is potentially a matter of Logan Act, but no one knows because we don't have access. But the contact is real and the White House covered it up, when it got exposed, tried to keep covering it up while calling it fake news, fired Flynn while calling it fake news and crying about leaks, and there are continuing exposures of meetings with Russian officials.

Right now, there isn't a crime that has been committed outside of Sessions. Its that they talked at all and are trying to cover it up. Which is why there needs to be an investigation. The White House is trying to block/interfere/influence investigations and the entire GOP is bending over backwards to help them. That begs the question, if they did nothing wrong, why are they turning the Nixon machine to 11?

“If farmers are turning first to the National Front, it’s because Marine Le Pen has set herself up as a spokeswoman for people in crisis, and the farming world is in permanent crisis,” said Martial Foucault, head of the Cevipof political research institute. “This is despite the fact that her statist, protectionist program is totally opposed to their vision of the economy, and that her plan for Europe threatens subsidies that are crucial for many of them.”

“In Le Pen, they see someone who can manage their crisis day to day,” he added.

How long until people in the administration start revolting.

And do they just quit then dump the dirt out in the press or stage a full on coup?




Oh my god this could be amazing.

President Donald Trump is asking Congress to look into whether the Obama administration abused its investigative powers during the 2016 election, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement Sunday.

"Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," Spicer said, posting the statement on Twitter. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.
"Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted," he added.
Spicer did not provide further details on the President's request of Congress.
The statement comes a day after Trump accused former President Barack Obama, without providing evidence, of wiretapping his phones in Trump Tower in the weeks before the November election.

So uh hypothetically if we impeach Trump because of collusion between him and Russia, will that be considered an act of war? How do you respond to Russia getting their puppet elected?
