    The OP seems to claim they did. Soooooo, we're just supposed to believe Rachael Maddow with no named sources? The OP claims proof but there is NONE. More fake news.

    Sorry, it wasn't the NSA who tapped the phone call.
    It was the FBI, while they were investigating Russia's link to the Trump campaign, to help Trump win.
    So we may see the transcripts one day.

    And No, will will not get the names of the people who talked to the reporters, for fear of retribution.

    National security adviser Flynn discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador, despite denials, officials say

    Flynn Reportedly Talked Sanctions With Russia Before Trump Took Office

    I also heard that there is evidence that part of the Russian dossier on Trump is true.
    And not the salacious parts either.
    The stuff about "Trump colluding with the Russians to win the election" part.
    I'm sure we will hear more about it next week.

    Except the contact happened after the election.

    Now, I think that this is serious enough where Flynn needs to resign. But let's not pretend that this is something it isn't.

    My vote not at all. The vote of some idiot who voted for Johnson or Stein because they believed some fake news story about Mrs. Clinton supposedly molesting children in a pizza place. Maybe.

    ..Riiight. Apparently you never once turned on Fox News, the MSM outlet that called Obama an illegitimate Kenyan Muslim President for 8 years.

    Excellent synopsis!

    At one point I was prepared to give him a chance to prove himself but since nothing changed from the moment he become potus-elect to now it is more than apparent that he is not competent enough to handle the responsibility and needs to be replaced ASAP.

    Deflecting to Obama because you have no excuses for Trump's abysmal performance on the job? :roflol:

    When are you going to hold him accountable for being an ignorant buffoon who wastes his time on twitter and TV ratings instead of serving We the People?

    None the less, it is the direct discusssion of a private citizen who anticipates being in power colluding with a foreign power against the established policy of the government of his own country.

    That's treason. No more, no less.

    Oh no, there goes the Fox excuse again. Never mind that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and practically every single newspaper in the country was anti-Trump, it's always excused by 'what about Fox'. Whoopee. And for your info, I never watch Fox, so I wouldn't know.

    Russia was not the source of Wilkileaks. If they hacked, they kept the info to themselves, which is how this generally operates. MSM has blacked out the ambassador from the UK who tried to get the truth out, since he said he knows the insider in DC who was the source. He broke the news in the UK, yet MSM ignored it, and still have not reported it. So your house of cards falls.

    Well, that kind of depends on what they talked about, doesn't it, and what authorization a member of the military had to talk with a foreign power on matters of state and foreign policy. Did he have any authorisation? Apparently not.

    Nowhere near stupid? You're right, he's way beyond stupid.

    After some time reading and interacting with the Libby's I'm confident in saying that it wouldn't matter what Republican was elected to be president, in the eyes of the Libby they all receive the same rhetoric :)

    Every nominee, man or woman verbally accosted at every turn. Every Cabinet consideration verbally accosted at every opportunity! If a Libby was to attempt and manage a good word about anything Conservative their tongues would bust into flames :roflol:

    Progressivism the party that loves to complain and hate ;)

    See, there's an old adage, 'where there's smoke, there's fire', and Trump is sending out smoke signals of crass idiocy and bungling incompetence with every day that passes, And talking of complaining, your president is pathetically incapable of shrugging-off even the most innocuous of criticism without becoming enraged and lashing out in his infantile tweets, like a whiny 12 year-old girl. He's a total joke.

    You don't have a leg to stand on, and your extremely weak attempts to put words in other people's mouth make that very clear.

    Contrary to your previous false claim, for a campaign official, or anyone expecting to serve in high office in an incoming adminstration to directly discuss undermining the policy of the United States government with agents of a foreign power is NOT legal. Period.

    None of this is true. The intelligence communities of several nations are in no doubt that the Russians were the primary sources for Wikileaks.

    Yet another Trump supporter who has to spew gratuitous ad homs because they cannot defend their feckless Incompetent-in-Chief.

    So it just skipped Bill Clinton? The economy was good during Clinton because of what Reagan did. We wouldn't have had the investment in Computers and the internet without Reagan's tax cuts. What great things happened during Obama's administration? 1.8% mean GDP growth and failed solar energy companies.

    In case we forget, he was also responsible for emboldening terrorism when he cut and ran from Beirut after the barracks bombing incident.

    Like Obama cut and ran from Iraq?

    To be honest, both Nixon and Reagan did the same just to help themselves get elected, so it will be hard to convince cons to care about treason.
    Think about it. They actually think that a guy who needs to have gold handles on his bathroom faucets to feel important, grab strangers' (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) and cycle through trophy wives to feed his ego and tweet petulant nonsense in the middle of the night is going to care about them.
    The kakistocracy is bubbling up from the sewers to bask in the limelight of their great orange hope.
    One can only hope that Rosie O'Donnell takes on the trump role at SNL.

    They can't seriously defend their so-called president, they can only polish his turds until the next one comes along.

    Yes you can. Who is the "high level Trump official"?
    This is merely a rumor designed to smear (from an Obama hold over, undoubtedly) until a name can be attached to this claim.
