No it's not, that is called communication with a foreign government that is being used by the then current administration as scapegoats.
Out like Flynn

No He doesn't . But he had a special meal in Russia once
And yet it's the GOP who wants answers:

if this Russia pillow biting by Trump and his crew continues he will be Impeached
The Flynn issue is separate from the leak issue. Flynn broke an obscure law and lied, he was fired. The leaks that have been coming out of the government is a real concern.
LOL. Now Trump is tweeting that the "real story" is that all these leaks are coming out of Washington. Didn't seem to mind the leaks when it was the Democrats being hacked and leaked. Also, a lot of this stuff is coming from within your Admin, you run it, get it under control...oh wait, you have a bunch of people who have no idea what they're doing. It's a joke but all you Trump lovers for some reason keep finding a way to defend him.
This is less than a month into his admin too. SAD!

Dude ... the transition teams are given latitude during transition periods. It's not like he was some guy with no role in the government.
You are making yourself look bad by saying "he has ties to Russians" and is "negotiating as a private citizen".
Everybody with a clear head knows what this is. And nobody really cares about the outcome. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
The Logan Act is an obscure law, yes, no one has ever been prosecuted under it and Flynn won't be. Regardless he broke it and lied about it. What was Flynn negotiating? You haven't provided any facts.
He was forced to resign. That is a firing.
And what do you know about the position of President Elect? Anything? Nope. The President Elect and his/her transition team are involved in almost every aspect of government before the "swearing in".
when the current President just announced sanctions, it isn't normal protocol to undermine him immediately to cater to a Foreign Government
Exactly. All incoming administrations have discussions with other dozens of other countries before officially taking office. It would be extremely irresponsible to do otherwise.
Sean Spicer today:
It really is though. A month later the conversations would have been SOP for the NSA.
Who cares who is telling the Russians we're going to bend over? The only difference is the messenger. The bigger question is since when did the libs start caring about protocol and laws?
I'm not a Lib
no one can spin that it hasn't been a rough first month for the Donald, he needs to focus on fiscal issues to cool off all this controversy.
I'd get used to it. There is going to be constant controversy when the liberal media is constantly faux raging and making mountains out of mole hills.
Yes, let's blame the liberal media for his actual controversies.
Meanwhile, his own administration isn't even aligned on what they should be saying. Kellyanne is saying he resigned on his own, while Spicer just noted that Trump asked for it. Reports are out saying that all his top officials are out to get each other, whole thing is a mess. Keep drinking the kool-aid Trump lovers.
I know you aren't a lib - the question wasn't intended to call you out. The month has been rough for Trump but most of it isn't real, it's simply opponents driven by hatred fabricating issues where there really aren't any.
What are you talking about. I've said on multiple occasions that what Flynn did was wrong and he deserved to be fired. It's nothing more than that. Yet the liberals are spinning this as some huge conspiracy that this is proof that Trump hired the Russians to hack polling stations and elect him.
She's such a fvcking stooge. The contradictions between her and Spicey are LOL-worthy.
I read the story and there really doesn't seem to be much substance behind it at all, especially since the source isn't named (probably a dumb intern or a disgruntled employee). If and when something more concrete comes out, then I'll believe it.
The National Security Adviser to the President having secret, illegal, discussions with a hostile foreign nation that is already suspected of interfering with our national election isn't an issue?
Can you read? The exact post you quoted was me saying I thought it was an issue and he deserved to be fired.
Treason? Really? Where was your outrage when Obama lied about the Iran deal and sent them hostage money?
Damn you make this easy. When the democrats were being leaked during the elections it was not the US government that was leaking it. There are people inside the US intelligence offices actively listening into Secrarary position phone calls and leaking the information. That is a huge problem and not on the same level as emails from a campaign chairmen from an unsecured server.
You're such a dolt. Every legal expert I've heard on this topic has said that his phone call was not the big deal- him lying to the FBI is the issue.
Flynn was an idiot and we are better off without him but STFU with your hilariously pathetic attempts to make this something more than it is.
So I guess the answer to this question is "No."
"The National Security Adviser to the President having secret, illegal, discussions with a hostile foreign nation that is already suspected of interfering with our national election isn't an issue?"
Republicans: The Party of Strong National Security

Conway shouldn't be out there speaking for Trump. That is Spicer's job. She did a great, excellent job in the election but she just needs to go back behind the scenes and let Spicer do the talking.
