and the context is that Flynn got some money through his consulting firm and failed to file as a foreign agent and then seemingly tried to cover his ass by not remembering what he said during a phone call.

Lets put that into actual non emotional context, from what ive read, if he had (A) filed the paperwork when he was supposed to (which is completely legal to do) and (B) waited until trump was officially president to take that phone call... literally none of this would be happening because it would have been run of the mill legal politicking... So why such an outrage over it?

After the other investigation into Russian meddling, its now proven that Russians did not "want" trump to be elected and that trump is not their "stooge." They ran just as much propaganda in favor of sanders. They simply didnt want hillary elected because hillary would take a much harder stance on russia (probably) sanctions wise etc.

Trump (and Sanders) are not Manchurian candidates for russia...

There is the context... Its nothing like youve implied it to be.

As for the trump statements ... The man is a billionaire who half assely decided to run for president again a Clinton and won. No matter what you say about him a, loser or a failure he is not.
