    I don't know why you keep asking when I have already addressed it. Nevertheless, I'll go over it again.

    It's a non-sequitur. Obama was the President of the United States and dealing with a foreign official in his capacity as such. Are you trying to say that Obama was undermining...himself? Posting that video is completely irrelevant to this Flynn scandal.

    What does that have to do with the Senate Intelligence Committee being shown the transcripts?

    In addition to posting blind links, you also have a habit of posting silly, non-responsive one-liners whenever your posts lead you into a corner you can't get out of. Have you noticed that I'm not the only one who has called you out for your inability to intelligently engage in a discussion.

    Do you have any evidence from the transcripts that he was fired for talking to the Russians? ;-)

    So, do you think Trump is saying that Flynn talked to the Russians about sanctions? Read again. ;-)

    Do you think it would have been wrong or illegal for Flynn to talk to the Russians about sanctions?

    Good point! Obama administration officials sure took the 5th a lot - it was a career enhancer for them. ;-)

    Again, sorry you can't follow along but I will ask the same question. Are the Australian PM and the president of Mexico terrorist threats? Recording thier conversations with the president then releasing information to the public to try and embarrass the president is considered releasing SIGINT which is against the law, much less recording the conversations.

    Now, do you think this is OK?

    Now quote their findings so I can be sure of what your are claiming they say which Im still unsure of. Yes the leaks affected the election but I want proof Trump had anything to do with it. Also how about the fact that the Clinton Campaign colluded with the press , does that bother you. All the leaks did was let out the truth

    But he wasnt sure he would still be president. He was doing just as he did after leaving wait to see if he had to sabotage the next president . Did Flynn make a deal ? You do know that the Chinese ambassador was in contact with Hillarys aides do you ?

    Rush Limbaugh got his start in Sacramento after SJW ran Morton Downey JR off the air.

    Similarly, those that stopped Flynn make get the Stache!

    Bolton was a candidate for Secretary of State during the transition period, then a candidate to be a key undersecretary at the Department under Rex Tillerson. Trump came to admire him from his appearances on Fox News. (Also a key qualification for KT McFarland in landing her job as deputy NSA, apparently.)

    The national security advisor isn’t subject to Senate confirmation. Because he’s merely an advisor, he can be on the job tomorrow if Trump merely says the word.

    His hawkishness makes him a weird foreign-policy fit for an Iraq critic like Trump; Trump appreciated Bolton’s interventionist bravado in his Fox appearances, but maybe as he’s thought more carefully about the direction of his administration, he realized that having a NATO booster and Russia skeptic as his right-hand man on national security is destined to lead to internal conflict and frustration over policy.

    Now Gen. Mattis is also a NATO booster and Russia skeptic and he appears to be one of Trump’s favorite aides, but Bolton would insist on real power to shape policy as NSA and Trump’s inner circle doesn’t seem to be in the mood to share that power with outside advisers and department chiefs. As Trump and Steve Bannon discuss detente with Russia and woo pro-Putin nationalist parties in Europe, John Bolton would be staffing up with conventional Republican hawks and consolidating power over the National Security Council. Bolton’s personality may simply be too strong to be the sort of deputy that Team Trump is looking for.

    The Trump team is rapidly taking on the mantle of traitors, so I understand that your only defense at this point is deflection but surely you can do better than that ultra-weak argument...or maybe not.

    I find it amusing that the internationalist liberals who spent so long denouncing patriotism and national pride as too primitive for their tastes have suddenly found themselves at home tossing accusations of treason around.

    This is not a court of law, this is a free, anonymous forum. Its entertainment. No poster has an obligation to satisfy some other posters unilaterally imposed requirements.

    Of course I told you to look it up. Its ridiculous for me to regurgitate what you can easily find for yourself, first hand, unfiltered.

    You spent more time on that last post than it would have taken to google the subject and learn for yourself. Obviously preserving your bias and ignorance is more important to you than actually learning the truth.

    Well, nothing will happen because nothing illegal was done. The Democrats were successful and scaring their useful idiots with an implausible plot of fear.

    The traitors are the leakers. How about Hillarys aids having contact with the Chinese ?

    Isn't it just a bit obtuse to jump to conclusions without any clear evidence? ;-)

    No, the traitors are the Trump gang selling out the US to Russia.

    What about it? If Clinton jumped off a bridge would you jump too? Is being a traitor okay if you think someone else is a traitor as well? What exactly is your point concerning private citizen Hillary Clinton?

    No proof of that but there is proof of a certain uranium deal

    Trump made an ass of himself on that too. He doesn't know squat about the Toronto based uranium mining company or the state dept clearance. Just like everything else, Trump is haf-assed on the facts.
