If Trump wanted to tell the Russians not to worry about sanctions if he were elected....so what?
That's in no way illegal. Heck, let me say right now to Vladimir Putin that if I'm elected he doesn't need to worry about sanctions...please let me know what law I have now violated. OR.....let me answer for you...no law is broken by such an act. Its simply an expression of policy, which is what campaigns and politics are about.
This whole thing is absurd. Unless Flynn states that Trump told him he would drop sanctions in exchange for anti-Hillary intelligence releases (WIkileaks) during the campaign...it all adds up to zero. Since we all know nothing of the kind occurred, this is a silly political witch hunt mounted by Dems and establishment types.
Where is the crime...advocating a new policy and telling other nations what that policy will be if elected...is not against the law. If it were, every presidential candidate in our history would be a criminal.
