    Turns out Flynn wasn't acting alone

    It seems Flynn wasn't working alone when he was negotiating with Russia over the lifting of sanctions. It seems Trump's attorney Michael Cohen delivered a proposal to Flynn that would lift the sanctions. It turns out this proposal was created in part by Felix Sater, who has worked for Trump on various Russian deals with Andrii Artemenko, a Ukrainian attorney.

    It's pretty clear all of these people didn't conspire together behind Trump's back to put this all together.

    The proposal to lift the sanctions included allowing Russia to keep Crimea, as well as parts of Ukraine that Russia already has troops in. Basically. the Trump administration had sold out part of Ukraine before they were legally in office, and without so much as consulting the State Department.

    And everyone in the Trump administration is lying about it.

          I'll take this at face value and just say.... OH THE HORROR. So Trump started getting plans in place a bit early. Who cares?

          If you want to talk about a real treasonous scandal, let's talk about Obama sending word to Iran to not cut a deal with Bush since he would give them a better deal if he got elected. Trump was already elected and headed to office.

              And this Crimea stuff is so stupid. The people of Crimea are Russian blood. They wanted nothing to do with Ukraine and voted themselves out. Now they are back with Russia where they have traditionally been.

              Celebrations in Crimea. These people don't look like they are under the boot of evil Vlad Putin now do they?

                  The United States has one leader at a time, one government. The president elect and his staff cannot negotiate on behalf of the United States. This is against the law. The entire Trump administration is lying about this and is trying to cover this up.

                      Even if it happened, Obama wasn't speaking to Russia. So it's not like Trump was undercutting an existing discussion.

                      Obama should be in prison right now for getting involved with Iran before he was even elected. Not to mention he also sold US ambassadorships to top DNC individual donors.

                          love how the neo-liberal rochard thinks we should be deciding for russia & ukraine who owns crimea.

                          & private businessman trump with russian business connections has talks about removing politically motivated sanctions that were only applied because obama had a hissy fit about losing the election.

                          what a scandal.

                              Why do you keep going back to Obama? Is that your own defense?

                              If you want to go back and dig up the past, what about Reagan? What did he work out with Iran to get the hostages released moments after he was sworn in?

                              Obama sold ambassadorships to top DNC donors? My god, Trump just put Betsy Devos in as the Secretary of Education. Not only does this woman have ZERO experience, she's never attended public school nor has her kids. I'm more qualified than she is.

                              Trump broke the law, and now is trying to cover it up.

                                      So the current administration can't talk to Russia because you don't like Russia?

                                              Not speaking to a country can be a negotiation tactic.

                                                  I surely don't think a private citizen in the United States should be making that decision.

Turns out this is all lies. Trump knew all about this, and if he didn't order this directly he surely encouraged it.

Trump was already elected and headed to office.
                                                                              Or Reagan in 1980 negotiating the release of the hostages in Iran so that they would not be released until he became President.

The president elect and his staff cannot negotiate on behalf of the United States. This is against the law. The entire Trump administration is lying about this and is trying to cover this up.

The president elect and his staff cannot negotiate on behalf of the United States. This is against the law. The entire Trump administration is lying about this and is trying to cover this up.

                                                                                                                  But I disagree that he "sat on his hands" during the Iranian hostage crisis. He did in fact order our military to take action, which was operation Eagle Claw, and it was a stunning failure and a complete embarrassment to the United States military. He ordered the US military into action, they failed him, and Carter pursued political options (which also failed).

If Trump was talking directly to the Russians, he must have known they were helping him win the election.

                                                                                                                                          Just ridiculous. Every person that Trump had picked while in transition would have been complete idiots to not be working ahead of time so they could hit the ground running on day one.

                                                                                                                                          But you already know that. You're just posting this stuff endlessly to troll and argue with people.

                                                                                                                                          Also you aren't even talking about how Pres. Obama as a "lame duck" put sanctions on Russia in his last week in office. THAT really is unheard of and "new".
                                                                                                                                          And it was very deliberately done to knee-cap Trump in his first weeks in office.

                                                                                                                                          No way in hell Obama would have done that if Hillary had won the election. He's a shrewd politician, and did something that he knew would slow Trump down from dismantling the Obama "legacy".
                                                                                                                                          Obama was anything but a fucking lame duck. You are just a constant complainer about Obama so you will make anything up to fit your agenda and your never ending whining about Obama. In 4 years you will still be crying about Obama and likely not care about a single bad thing Trump has done.

                                                                                                                                          BTW I remember time and time again you said non stop that you wouldn't complain about things Bush did because Obama was the sitting president and you were only worried about the "now". Suddenly you are not worried about the "now" but instead want to continue to whine about Obama and the past.

                                                                                                                                          Why the change?
                                                                                                                                          In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                                                                                                              But I disagree that he "sat on his hands" during the Iranian hostage crisis. He did in fact order our military to take action, which was operation Eagle Claw, and it was a stunning failure and a complete embarrassment to the United States military. He ordered the US military into action, they failed him, and Carter pursued political options (which also failed).
                                                                                                                                              Actually they were going to free the hostages. Reagan got them to hold them til after the election because if they were freed before the election Jimmy could of won on that. Then Reagan sold them arms which was treason and north fell on his sword for him.

One president, not two. The president elect is just that, the president elect, and has zero power. None at all. Nor can he negotiate on behalf of the President.

                                                                                                                                                  Why is it your only defense is going to back to something Obama did? Or Hillary? Trump does something bad and all you want to talk about is Obama and Clinton.

                                                                                                                                                  You don't think it's completely inappropriate for the President Elect to call up leaders of a foreign country and start an international incident by destroying a decades long position on "One China". (In his defense, he most likely had no fucking clue such a policy existed because he has never worked in government before.)
                                                                                                                                                  You can keep saying that all you want.

Obama did it (sent his people straight to Moscow for meetings while the election was still going on), Bush did it, Clinton did it...keep going back all the way to when Pres. Adams succeeded Pres. Washington

Jesus Christ...I know you aren't dumb. So you have to be doing this just to argue I suppose.

I doubt very seriously that is your intent...but I can only tell you how it appears to me.

If Trump was talking directly to the Russians, he must have known they were helping him win the election.

Suddenly you are not worried about the "now" but instead want to continue to whine about Obama and the past.

The FBI notified the Trump campaign in June that Putin hacked the DNC (espionage). Wikileaks was releasing the hacked emails publicly (illegal). Stupid for Trump to be making backdoor deals with Putin under these circumstances and Trump Train will pay.

                                                                                                                                                                          Trump was under no legal obligation to NOT do his job...which was to prepare for his Presidency. Just like all candidates do.

Flynn was fired for lying to Pence. Not a team player. Trump likes a good team of people. Flynn wasn't the guy.

                                                                                                                                                                                              That is what SMART people do. You prepare ahead of time. You get your ducks in a row.

Obama even went on a "world tour" during the campaign of 2008 and met with World Leaders to discuss what his foreign policy would be if he ended up winning the election.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I don't recall Obama sending anyone to Russia before he became president. (In fact, I was unable to find any information about this - can you provide me with some links?)

                                                                                                                                                                                              With that said, there is some pretty large differences here... When Trump was President Elect he did not have an official position with the US Government. When Obama was President Elect he was.... A US Senator. As a US Senator Obama was on the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Committee on Foreign Relations. You can easily argue he did in fact represent the US government. A US Senator or Congressman wouldn't have any legal issues calling up an ambassador for a foreign country; In fact, this would have been a regular thing.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I am also sure Obama did everything with the blessing of the State Department, and most likely brought members of the State Department with him to officially represent the US Government. Obama didn't try to back door stuff with attorneys who worked for the Russians, accepted money from the Russians, and most likely was being blackmailed by the Russians.

                                                                                                                                                                                              And at the same time no one is accusing Obama of being bought and paid for by the Russians, and no one was accusing Russia helping Obama win his election.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Do you see the difference? President Elect Obama didn't hid anything and had the full support of the US government. (In fact, the Bush / Obama transition was one of the smoothest transition ever) while President Elect Trump is being secretive and having back room meetings with Russian agents and a shady attorney who is most likely being blackmailed by the Russians, attempting to make deals no one in the US government so much as heard of no less approved of.
