....say he fought back against this phony crime that didnt exist, this horrendous false accusation, and he shouldnt fight back, he should just sit back and take it. Could this be Obstruction? No, Mueller didnt find Obstruction either. Presidential Harassment!
Trumps admission means that he is an illegitimate president
Never in American history has a foreign government interfered in a presidential election to help elect their preferred candidate. Trump is admitting that his election was the will of Putin, not the will of the people. - PoliticusUSA

(24,725 posts)presidential harassment is haranguing a duly elected by a huge majority president for years, alleging that he was foreign born and thus illegitimate, and making him show his "papers."
That's presidential harassment.

(268,885 posts)A U.S. judge ordered prosecutors to make public a transcript of a voicemail from someone trying dissuade former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn from fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Handed over to Muellers team during the probe, the message was one of several in which Flynn or his lawyers were contacted by people linked to the Trump administration and Congress, according to court papers made public Thursday.
On Thursday, Sullivan ordered transcripts of the phone message and of Flynns conversations with Russian officials to be posted on the courts publicly-available electronic docket by May 31. He also ordered that unredacted portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn be handed over to him.

(1,156 posts)This judge impresses me and seems to understand the traitorous nature of what Flynn has been prosecuted for and demonstrates how rotten and corrupt the Trumpistas and the complicit GOP congress critters are. They have sold out the country to the Russians and Putin's desire to destroy our democracy and world status. It's working and will continue to work until Trump/Pence etc. are deposed.
