The left isn't saying that contact with the Russians is grounds for removal. A lot of people have contacts with Russian officials...they're a pretty important nation after all. It's just that Trump's people are "forgetting" (or deliberately hiding) personal meetings with Russian contacts...which is what raises questions.GannonFan wrote:That's great, but it doesn't solve anything. We were clearly listening to Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador prior to the new administration taking over so there's little doubt that we were wiretapping parts of the Trump campaign. Whether we got actual tape of Trump or not is still to be revealed. But we're at a point that the left is saying any contact at any time with the Russians is grounds for removal from office and the GOP - or at least Trump's portion of it - is saying that they were wiretapped and that the sharing of those wiretaps or the information for them went way outside the normal clearance levels for such work, and considering the amount of anonymous leaks these days that seems fairly credible. Nobody looks good right now - the left looks like they're hyperventilating over anything and the right looks like Trump. It's a messy time and no one seems to be capable of clearing things up.Ibanez wrote: There's a difference between what we don't know and aren't being told. I like to believe we aren't being told everything.
And heck, there's not even anything wrong with meeting a Russian official personally. However, it's one thing if they forgot they met an ambassador at a cocktail party or a conference or a large gathering, but it's another animal to forget one-on-one meetings and phone calls (all within the last year).
