So you have that conversation on tape? You assume without any facts to back it up. You applying for a position at CNN?

So far this is all hearsay and even if true I would still call this establishing new relations with a country which we need to improve our diplomatic channels.
Even if true? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act But it is a bit murky: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/michael-flynn-logan-act/
You're not making sense. You haven't even explained what "it" is. Trace WHAT back to Trump? The avoidance of a war? I trace the escalation back to a lame-duck with NO REGARD for the views of the incoming. Also, one WHAT can only hope? One IDIOT who wants to start a war?
Logan act unlikely. It's just too dated. Biggest deal here is if Flynn lied to Pence and that only shows how paranoid everyone is in government just trying to do business
Ok I know this is conspiracy theory stuff.. Apparently Putin has kicked all the private central bankers out of Russia. I know that is a bit wild. But... when I was reading up about being the world currency and why I thought it was not a benefit... There were websites which predicted these scenarios years ago. So one issue that Trump is not taking the bankers (democrats and establishment Republicans) side on this issue with Russia... and the bankers can't allow this. You can see websites which make credible cases that the revolution, the war of 1812 and most wars since then have been about currency control by bankers. Not saying I believe it.... but this situation with Russia is so lacking in important facts, I just don't see why its happening.
There are at least three issues here. One, Flynn talking to the Russians. No one has made even a colorable case that it was improper. Two, Flynn apparently not being truthful about it to Pence. I have trouble with this for several reasons. Why was Pence questioning him? Perhaps Flynn wanted to give him plausible deniability. Was Pence overstepping here? Was Pence playing a game he had been put up to by someone? Three, the leaks. Trump tweeted about this already. A guy who was loyal to Trump and actually pretty important in him getting elected has been disgraced. Trump owes it to him to find out who leaked and destroy them. He has plenty of weapons. He can bring in Rudy G and turn him loose. A very limited number of people had the intercept information, eg CIA, FBI, Justice and Trump people. CIA and FBI people cannot plead the Fifth(and keep their jobs) and can be forced to take lie detector tests. The journalists who received the leaks can be prosecuted for disclosing secret information. They can be put in front of a grand jury and given immunity. If they won't talk, put them in jail. Put that Yates bitch in front of a grand jury and see if she takes the Fifth. Put her in jail too if she won't talk. Trump has let his supporters down here and he needs to produce a few bodies to square things. There may come a time when he needs us to go to the streets. We have to trust he has our back.
It has become clear that the left will not accept a peaceful transfer of power. They are breaking the covenant under which our country was established. Trump must massively purge the entire bureaucracy and claim his constitutional powers to preside. It is starting to look like Democracy is broken as it was preceding the civil war. We dont need to work with the left at all. Use the power of the republican congress and republican executive to enact republican policies and stop paying any attention to the leftists. Punish acts of sedition and espionage harshly. Put the judiciary back in their place. Kick CNN out of the press briefings. Ban immigration from terrorist countries by emergency martial order. Just do it.
