1. First narrative, the "because the Russians," Flynn was recorded while talking with the Russian Ambassador. American Citizens sometimes get recorded while some other person was targeted, however the U.S. citizen's identities must remain hidden. Flynn's identity became known.
2. It wasn't necessary to target Trump or his family or associates. All that was necessary was to target people Trump or family or associates were likely to call and intercept their communications that way. In this narrative though, there are no "Russians" and no suggestion of illegality.
3. The picture that is emerging is that no illegal activities alleged, and that Trump, his family, and associates were flat out targeted for surveillance and intelligence gathering, with the intent to distribute what was gathered to other agencies, and with the intent to leak the information to the press. Again, these people may have been targeted simply because of who they were, and not because they did anything illegal.
4. I think the first crack in the dam was Evelyn Farkas. She blathered on about intelligence and didn't have the smarts to suggest "The Russians."
Inquiring minds want to know if the other candidates were also surveilled and intercepted. We want to know if in truth, "Elections have consequences." If people committed major crimes, and are not prosecuted, this demonstrates that the laws are indeed for the little people, and that if you are connected enough, they'll yell at you, but that's about it.
I cannot give legal advice, but to SusiQ I will give friendly suggestions.
Shut up.
Lawyer up.
Hole up.
Well said.
Just thought of something else to add to your list. Wikileaks had released tons of communicaes from HRCs illegal server. I believe that could be the root of all of this evil. Could be that the DNC is trying to redirect blame for criminal activity on the part of HRC and The Donald and the Russians are the easy target(s).
Flynn needs to be investigated. It appears he fell into the culture of corruption in D.C. after leaving the military.
Ol boy did have a connection to Russia and lied to Pence about it. When found out, Trump fired him as he certainly should have to avoid conflicts and scandal within his administration....right move on Trump's part.
Then ol boy received ca$h payments from the Russians.. When these payments were found out, he then filed an addendum to federal documents stating the ca$h payments. One of those culture of corruption....oh 54!7, they found out, lets see if filing the “correct” disclosures will keep me off the hot seat.
Flynn ain't in.
