>>So you're saying that after Russians were accused of hacking the DNC and the illegal HRC email server, Trump's invitation at his press conference for Russia to find the 30,000 emails illegally erased by HRC, makes him the crook? If Russia actually did have the emails- what does that make HRC?

>>This relies on a very old rule that never had been used, with Flynn not charged for communication with Russians about US affairs while he was still a private citizen, but for lying about the content of his discussion. In fact there was nothing illegal about the content of his discussion, but this is one of the process crimes being used to take people out in the US at present. The best defense is to parrot a certain politician who answered all such questions by "I cannot recall."

>Unless such reports were handed over and Trump decided not to heed them - but I am well aware that this is circular reasoning ;-)

Trump has proven time and time again he does not listen to anyone as he thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Remember he has a 'very good brain' and is a 'very stable genius' lol -- remember he was warned prior to hiring Flynn not to hire him.
