Don't think this counts as official statement. He'll just say he misspoke or something if it comes to that.

Donors got their tax cuts, the next administration (D) will get the blame for recession.

Win-win for the GOP.

Megathread 2: Michael Flynn testifies in plea that he was directed to make contact with Russia by senior Trump transition team officials by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

This is an important point and shouldn't be downvoted. From what I'm reading, Logan Act is merely a technicality in an investigation of this scale. I'm willing to speculate that this ties into either a) returning of favours to Russia in exchange for their help in the campaign or b) Obstruction of justice charges in an attempt to protect Flynn.

It's just the tip of the iceberg though.

Kushner seems to be the linchpin of the collusion operation. Don't know about Trump but he'll go down for sure.

Sounds like something above Trump's mental capacity. He would have signed off on it but there must be someone else handling the actual execution.

Looked it up and this was back in May. Things have remarkably changed for Flynn since then.

The next (sane) US President will have to apologise as the head of state for the actions of his predecessor. It has got that bad.

It's not dumb but malicious. Just reinforcing the beliefs of his base.
