If an adviser for a Democratic President had discussed "sanctions" with Russia before taking office

...what do you think the Republicans and their media stooges would be talking about today?

They would be insisting that this "adviser" step down immediately and that the President should be held responsible for the people he has hired under him?

They would not turn it loose. It would be the worst scandal since Watergate, or at least, since Benghazi.

Seriously, this is just being swept under the rug as if it is nothing.

Democrats should go after Flynn relentlessly, just like the Republicans would do.

But as they pointed out on GMA this morning Pence 'supposedly' talked to Flynn and he did NOT discuss sanctions.

Flynn isn't the target.
