The uproar over the Flynn affair is proof that you can be accused of collusion to rig an election by pointing to alleged shady actions taken after the election was over. Flynn lied and was fired (asked to resign?) for it - proof that Trump is evil and causes otherwise honest and upstanding folks to anonymously release classified information to the press.
lol, a number of people involved in the Trump campaign had questionable dealings with Russia for years prior, including Flynn. He was told his dealings with Russia would be picked up by intelligence, and he persisted. A national security lead, being paid by Russia, buddy buddy with Russia, our more notable adversary in the world... this should ****ing bother everyone as it is.
Trump nay have had no idea about any of this, making him and his administration either look like idiots who had no vetting, or they had no care in hiring people who had engaged in regularly behaviors that looked terrible political, and reasonably, given their positions.
When directly informed about his lying, Trump did NOTHING.
When fake-news-media broke the real news story, that wasn't fake after all...only then did they fire him.
In reality, whether an actual crime was committed or not is entirely irrelevant. If you're seen every night stumbling out of an escorts hotel room, you may not have committed any crime, but it looks bad just the same. Being cool with that, and acting like "well no crime is committed therefore what's wrong!?" is absurd.
The Trump administration has demonstrated it can't staff its positions, it's demonstrated it has filled what few positions it could staff, with rejects, sketchy characters, people under federal investigation, liars, and of course the ever popular family-first types. Having no evidence of Flynn committing a crime is the least of the problems facing that administration. That so many apologists defend the admin given all this, I really never would have imagined.
