I appreciate the lack of hyperbole in this article, but there are a number of things wrong.



1) Trump giving Russia classified information.



a) The President has this right

b) Everything is classified. Trump didn't give Russia our nuclear codes. This is the news running a salacious headline.

c) McMaster came out and absolutely destroyed this idea that Trump gave something out of the norm

d) Russia is not our enemy

e) The information was related to airline safety and this laptop bomb issue that has been PUBLICALLY reported for weeks ago

f) Russia lost a civilian airline because of a soda can bomb in Egypt.



2) Flynn - Two things that ended Flynn.



a) Logan Act - this is a pure technicality. Flynn reach out to his counter part in Russia after Trump won. His message was that things would change and it would be a more collaborative relationship. The Logan Act says citizens cannot negotiate treaties, etc. Because Trump was not the President, Flynn was still a private citizen.



Obviously, this is a technicality. The Logan Act applies in spirit to you and I. Flynn, selected and waiting to perform his duties was reaching out preemptively to let a major nuclear power know that the Trump administration would look to cooperate with Russia.



b) Flynn was paid $45K for a speaking engagement by RT that he failed to disclose. Bad and wrong, but if a former general about to take a senior role in the White House can be bought for $45K, please let me know where I can send the check.



Furthermore, as soon as Flynn stepped down, he was paid $500K to help Turkey in a lobbying fashion. The point is $45K is NOTHING to this guy.



3) Comey - Pres. Trump valued loyalty (why he selected Flynn) and asked Comey 2 times to stop the investigation. Per Comey's comments, this request wasn't forceful or backed up by a threat. Trump then fired Comey, as is his right. The FBI has testified on record that they have sufficient funding and the White House has not interfered in this "investigation"





Conclusion - If I was Trump I would be yelling also. Republicans complain for 8 years they want to repeal Obamacare and Trump makes it his campaign promise. Republicans then look like fools when they can't get a bill put together.



You have judged legislating from the bench, using campaign statements to infer motive for a lawful Presidential act (something not done before). You have Democrats and the media 24/7 acting to undermine a presidency because the idea of working to bring jobs back to Americans, cut taxes and otherwise stimulate an actual, physical recovery is so repulsive that they are willing to sink this country to take out Trump.



This is how it plays out. Dems go for impeachment. This will take over a year with how slow things work. The US markets will realize nothing is getting done and all the baked in price appreciation related to the expected tax cuts will evaporate and the markets will sell off. The Fed has spent all their dry powder and will be unable to stimulate the economy. Russia will have been so demonized and China will be so empowered, that they will become far more brazen, especially at a time when the USA is suffering from both an economic and political downturn.



Trump might not be optimal, but throwing the entire nation into a state of turmoil to overturn the person the people of this country elected is a suicidal path to be taken. And guess what. Pence will push for the same economic policies as Trump and will bring all the negative social policies found from a former governor who supported electro-shocking homosexuals.
