Flynn has admitted this. He took about $500,000 to lobby on behalf of a company tied to the Turkish government in 2016. He was thus required to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act He did not file as a foreign agent until March 7th. AFTER he was already fired as NSA. Also the White House notified Congress that Flynn over $70,000 plus luxury hotels stays and trip expenses for both him and his son from Russia companies including the Kremlin's TV station from December 2015. These were not lobbying jobs and didn't require him to register under FARA, however, payments from a foreign government are illegal under the Constitution for retired military officers. The DOD interprets the Emoulements Clause this way

the Emoluments Clause prohibits receipt of consulting fees, gifts, travel, expenses, honoraria, or salary by all retired military personnel, officer and enlisted, Regular and Reserve, from a foreign government unless Congressional consent is first obtained.

I didn't say the Russians directly hacked the election results, that's a strawman argument. I said interfered and there's lots of evidence they did. And not just against Hillary. In addition to the DNC and Podesta, they hacked the Democratic Congressional Campaign Comittee and used the information to target about a dozen of the most competitive congressional races in Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Ohio, Illinois, New Mexico and North Carolina . The same Russian Intel cutout that Roger Stone worked with would send packages of hacked to documents to local reporters and bloggers. Kudos to Representative Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania who refused to use this material because it came from a foreign source.

I like you how make a claim of no evidence and lob such nonsense bombs as these conspiracy theories. Hillary, however - used voting machines to steal 13 delegates off Sanders. Proven, and Seth Rich died for exposing it.

That's not even the tinfoil hat community's agreed upon Seth Rich Conspiracy theory! That's like a whole different theory! You're one of the 9/11 truth guys who believe there were no planes used at all, right? Tell the truth.

I would love to hear your evidence for this. Where were these 12 delegates stolen? Why would Seth Rich know about them? What made these 12 delegates so important when she beat him by 359? Would the outcome be any different if she only beat him by 300?

Right. So by 'Interfered' you mean 'influenced'. Just like the lobbying money pouring into DC from eeeeevery other country and corporation is sent with the specific purpose of influencing political outcomes in their favour.

That's why the Russian narrative is so disingenuous. You want everyone to believe Russian influence somehow invalidates the election, but the influence $ from everyone else - and to the Podestas - we can just whislte dixie on.

So lets say we ditch the Trump administration because Russia. We cant appoint Democrats either because Russia. Where does that leave you?
