If, IF, Candidate Trump was in the loop of an ongoing "reach out" to Russian "spy gazing" into Democratic National Committee, and IF it is established he ordered and/or authorized his staff to do so, Houston, we got a problem. However, that's a lot of "if's".

Beyond learning to navigate the political swamp, Trump's only shortfall is in having underestimated the power and resolve of the DC establishment in the form of Obama hold-overs and career bureaucrats. Somebody has broken the law in all of this, I doubt it was General Flynn and am almost positive it was not Mr Trump. With so much time in front this President, if those guilty aren't sweating bullets, they likely should be.

One does not come into high federal office like Alice in Wonderland, thus calls of the nature being discussed are an altogether acceptable practice, even requisite practice. Flynn would still be National Security Advisor if not for that conversation with VP Pence and his subsequent airing of denial on the part of the General. Saying that, it's a shame that the whole thing transpired. The transcript of the phone call in question reportedly floating around in media circles, was not the result of foreign hostiles hacking General Flynn's phone conversations. Rather it was the result of a clandestine and illegal action undertaken undoubtedly for the sake of political agenda on the part of a US citizen whose job affords him/her access to secret documents. So who has been denied the much needed skills and services of a true patriot at the top of his very highly specialized career field? Oh just the American public, who by the way, should be incensed and concerned about the nature of the whole mess.

BTW, do I need to point out how the last NSA began her stint? Appearing on no less than five Sunday news programs to forcefully push the Administration's position that a video had provoked the Benghazi attacks?
