Foreign Policy reports Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has information that White House Counsel Don McGahn likely knew national security advisor Michael Flynn broke the law as early as January.
In the very first days of the Trump presidency, Don McGahn researched federal law dealing both with lying to federal investigators and with violations of the Logan Act, a centuries-old federal law that prohibits private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments, according to three people with direct knowledge of the confidential government documents.
The records that McGahn turned over to the special counsel indicate he researched both statutes and warned Trump about Flynn’s possible violations.
Yet for almost nine months, the White House has said that the president did not know of Flynn’s actions.
All this brings back into question what President Trump knew about Michael Flynn's activities and conversations when he encouraged FBI Director James Comey to let the Flynn matter go and then when he ultimately fired Comey in May.

This "poor horse" is treason and as a patriot I am concerned that our government is infiltrated at the highest level. But of course, you could care less about our democracy, it seems. “Everyone continues to dance around a clear assessment of what’s going on,” says Glenn Carle, a former CIA national intelligence officer responsible for evaluating foreign threats. “My assessment,” he tells Newsweek, “is that Trump is actually working directly for the Russians.”

Just because I don’t feel the necessity to post about it everyday doesn’t mean I don’t care. What it means is that I’m willing to let the investigation run its course without continuous whining.

So far, inside one year, we have indictments at the White House. More to come.
What will you people do as this crumbles ?
You already are attacking our country to defend the indefensible.
Will you simplystill maintain that the entire world is anti Trump, that he is innocent of anything ?
Ex CIA director maintains that Putin is using Trump and manipulating him as any agent would do.
I might add, that testimony before congress asserts and confirms this entire story.

No drama Obama had zero scandals in the White House for 8 solid years. Trump has had a scandal a month. None, of course, as important as treason.

Not sure of the relativity here, but heck....add Benghazi, emails and you are pretty much tuned in to the defense for the current administration.
No defense, just use the buzz words
This administration is simply un American, divisive and self serving. I am of an age where I can recall much of our history, the scandals, lying, attacks on our country are simply unprecedented, no matter what you say.

I am saying...it is history, was investigated by congress and actually more documents came out last year....but it is not even remotely related to the current indictments and investigations on going with our current White House.
It is, along with the names Clinton or OBama, or emails or the fraud story on uranimium used consistently to defend Trump.
Defend Trump if you wish, but do it based on Trump, not the past.
That makes no sense whatsoever to anyone.
If you cannot defend Trump based on the discussion, I suppose just keep quiet.

I was one of the single most critical of OBama on the political forum from the inception of the forum in 2007.
However, whatever happened in those 8 years pales terribly in wake of 1 year of Trump.
You may think attacking his own country publicly and accusing people of felonies, also publicly. Of lying on substantive issues, of having thus far an administration riddled with indictments, etc is admirable.
I do not. He is what he is and always has been....a lying, immoral person, who NEVER has done one thing for his country and demeans those who have unless they bow to him.

So if she was untouchable hiding behind his legal puppets what makes anybody think He/Obama would be subject to anything?
Yes. Obama's legal minions and followers aspire to achieve the level of authenticity as the Easter bunny, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy!!!

NEWS FLASH! Lawyers ARE lying, cheating scumbags masterfully trained in the art of lying and deceiving!. They also write the laws so any point, sentence, or conversation can be turned around to they're understanding. Lawyers and lying is oxymoron! Why we always seek the dirtiest one we can find when we want to Screw somebody over LIKE IN DIVORCE.
Comey nothing more than Political appointed hack that lost his integrity in the Hillary Clinton fiasco. IMO OBAMA and LYNCH ORDERED him to stop his investigation and set her free. But, it didn't do no good when it found out that DNC head working for CNN passed questions to Hillary and she when off campaign trail for week studying up on the question to come up with the prefect liberal answer, that what lost the election proven lair and cheater. But, you liberals are OK with that Cause its the liberal way, cheat in HS, College, and life. How climb the successfully ladder along with nepotism. And we all thought she was so smart with her answers. Hell I bet the liberal news media been passing debate question to democrats for decades and NOW just got caught.

"For weeks, Fox News and far-right pundits have been working overtime to discredit the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Fox contributors have suggested that a “coup” could be in the works against the administration.
But on Tuesday, the criticism hurtled across an even more extreme line, when Fox News contributor Kevin Jackson suggested the FBI might have had plans to assassinate President Trump. It’s a conspiracy theory that has already been percolating on the extreme fringe, the petri dish for much of the “deep state” rhetoric. And Jackson’s comments on are a case study of how fringe whispers can quickly slip into prime time cable."

Not saying it did not need to be done, but it sure happened at a convenient time for the FBI.

Trump goes after all of our democratic institutions, one by one, in his effort to destroy anyone or anything that challenges his credibility. "Fake news". "So called judges". "Incompetent intelligence agencies". "FBI reputation in tatters". His own people in the DOJ and the State Department. He gets a lot of this material from Fox entertainers like Pierro and Hannity. They feed off each other.
I don't know what Fox's agenda (or rather, Murdoch's agenda) is in all this. Of course Murdoch is not a native born American citizen, so it's possible he is actually out to destroy this country from within. Certainly he must know that his base demographic is shrinking, so it's a zero sum game so far. At the very least he needs to rein in Hannity and Pierro before he gets sued for sedition.
I have noticed that the quality of guests on Fox's shows is poor. Gingrich the deadbeat dad, Clarke, who had to remove his "medals" from his jacket, Alan West, drummed out of the military....reminds me of the Scott Baio level of support.

Not well watching the MAGA crowd and the State news daily attack their own country as if it were a political app on their iPad.
You can be snide, filthy mouthed, attack personally if you wish, but the President has attacked and has Fox attacking REAL American hero's, while loudly, and falsely tooting his own horn.
I am saddened that people have placed a person of scandalous immoral character above their country. The love and adoration showered on him identifies NON patriots as he continues to defile the White House. This is a man who has never ever done one single thing for his country....EVER and you side with him attacking people who put their life in danger to protect us. They are heroes...he is a punk.
