The records reflected concerns that McGahn, the White House counsel, had that Michael Flynn, then the president’s national security advisor, had possibly violated either one or both laws at the time, according to two of the sources.


He was concerned so he researched it. This is proof of what exactly??? Do you realize how desperate you sound?

Isn't this after Trump had already fired Flynn?

What point are you trying to make?

So they identified the problem in January and fired him in February.

Yeah. You got him now.

Right. If McGahn conveyed his concerns to Trump, it speaks to Trump's potential state of mind when he asks Comey for a loyalty pledge and says “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, letting Flynn go. He is a good guy.”

It remains hilarious that Trump tweeted after Flynn's plea, "It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!" and then Dowd took the blame for the tweet. And yet Dowd continues to work for Trump. Hmmm...

Flynn was fired in February.

The next day, DJT asked the director of the FBI not to investigate Flynn for crimes that DJT seems to have known Flynn committed.

Siri, is lying to the FBI bad?

Fortunately the no evidence nothingburger of Trump-Russian Collusion has kicked over a pile of Clinton-DNC-Obama Collusion evidence!

So Decatur and his fellow “collusion” nuts can enjoy collusion investigations of their own side for a couple more years!

On the Logan Act thing, you would then have to prosecute a person in just about every administration going back to at least Eisenhower. I'm not sure that the NSA designate, which Flynn was during that time constitutes a "private citizen" in the context that the law was framed. He would be allowed to tell a foreign government that because of an upcoming change in policy by the incoming administration, that it would be advantageous to his side and our side to restrain his side on fighting on the sanctions.

There has never been a successful Logan Act prosecution since its inception in 1799. In fact there have ever been 2 indictments with the last being in 1852, both failed.

Taken in that context, it boggles my mind why Flynn would have lied to the FBI about it, unless he's stupid or has a bad lawyer. He should have told the FBI that this was a matter of new national security policy by the incoming administration and as such the FBI needs to back off since the FBI does not establish United States policy in regards to relations with foreign governments. In that context he could tell the Russians or anyone else, that it would be to their benefit to do that which would entail some sort of implicit consideration.

Logan Act is a bullshite law established by John Adams in 1799 because a guy named Logan from Pennsylvania made him look bad in a major dispute with the new French government headed by Talleyrand.
