After discussing the matter with U.S. law enforcement officials, Yates felt she had to alert the White House because the risks of blackmail were too great and Flynn was in potential violation of the Logan Act, a never-used law from 1799 that bars citizens from negotiating with other governments. Yates approached White House counsel Donald McGahn and alerted him to the transcripts and discussion of sanctions. It is not clear what McGahn did with the information.
The DOJ told the WH that Flynn had violated the Logan Act, and was now a blackmail target. The Trump administration did NOTHING until a true patriot took this info to the media. Thank God they did. We are a safer country for it.

Your harping on the Logan Act might be my favorite meme of the day.

And? All campaign and the time leading up to confirmation all I heard from the die hard trumpkins was how many great people he knew and how it doesn't matter about his inexperience because he's going to surround himself with the best people.
Less than a month in and he already has this shite storm. He picked this guy, no one else. He also has picked everyone else, so he's picked or retained whomever is leaking shite.
His justification for the immigration ban (which he implemented in the worst way possible although I agree with the general concept to a degree) is to implement a better vetting process. He needs to learn how to vet the people he chooses to surround himself before he lectures the people again about how to improve our vetting process for unknown people. At this point, he's pretty fricking clueless.

Aren't you one of the people who laughed at Hilary defenders for saying that the real story behind the Wikileaks leaks was the hacking of the Democratic party by Russia?
Nope, I'm one of the ones who stated I hate that wikileaks is filling the void of journalism.
I'm also one that stated the leaks (not proven to be hackers) does not negate the content.
Here the situation is not the same. The content isn't at issue. The lying is. 2 different things.
The illegal leaks in this situation is an actuall threat to the US.
It's top secret intel leaked vs personal conversations.

What the hell is Wikileaks doing these days? We need these call transcripts.

3. Hilliary
4. Any democrat
5. Establishment
6. FBI, CIA, NSA and the DOJ they all leak info that will only hurt Trump
Alternative Facts:

It got Flynn fired. It will be part of Trump's impeachment, but, certainly, nothing compared to the info in trump's unreleased taxes.

Did he not publicly ask Russia to hack HRC?

Did he not bring up her emails at every opportunity?
You're losing your mind. It's plain to see.

Let's just gloss over the fact that Hillary's emails were made public not through hacking, but in the course of an FBI criminal investigation.

I'll never understand why that didn't even matter to some. That Donna Brazile interview still echoes in my mind- they were stolen, I won't be persecuted, they were stolen.
It's the dumbass democratic committees fault we have Trump as president. Will they ever realize it and accept responsibility?

You don't think a foreign(hostile) nation hacking the emails of a major political party in the U.S is a hostile threat to the U.S?

Him "asking Russia to hack Hillary" was an obvious joke

We hack the Russians all the time. Hell, replace Russians with any other country really.
It's likely that we instigated hacking.
However, the DNC should be shitting on themselves for not protecting their emails.
If someone steals my car becasue I leave the keys in it I'm not really in a postion to lash out at the thief.
