They attempted to collude with a spy.
You've never gone on record with this: you telling us that you don't care? All the key principles under the direct orders from Trump (obviously), met with a Russian spy, looking for dirt on Hillary. And of course, we only have the word of those present that no such dirt was offered.
Do you really not have a problem with that? That's ok in your book?
Remember when I pointed out that Brennan testified about getting " led down a treasonous path, either wittingly or unwittingly."
If "colluding", you don't do it so openly.
And if you're in the FBI? And you read the internal memo about the Tower meeting. And then the Flynn meeting followed by his lie not just to the FBI, but to Pence? You're telling me you're not just a tad freaked out?
All of this, as I said from the start, is Occam's Razor. You are vilifying people for doing their jobs. As for the leaks? Easy ethical explanation: the FBI works for Trump. illegal? Yep. Should they to to jail? Yep. But it was, imho, an ethical move. As I have said dozens of times now, our Constitution isn't set up for these shenanigans. Trump put Comey and the FBI between the same rock and a hard place that the idiot Hillary did. So mistakes happened. Lines were crossed.
And think about who those leaks were targeted to.... they weren't targeted at me. I don't need a memo to understand Trump and his idiots are corrupt POS's. They were targeted at YOU, as well as FoxNation. Imagine their horror when they found out that you and FoxNation didn't care. Not even a little.
Folks doing their freaking jobs know that the new POTUS is a corrupt, lying POS, in suspected cahoots with a foreign adversary...and we call them doing everything in their power to address the challenge of that reality, "undermine Trump's campaign, transition & Presidency" ...as opposed to protecting the USA, doing their jobs.
If someone leaked illegally, knowing that they could not, would not, be heard up the chain of command by those now in office, that's a choice to subject oneself to punishment. But it may well be the right thing to do ethically.
It will be interesting to look back 10 years from now.
Keep cheering on your Heroes of the Resistance.

...an interview she did on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' on March 2nd, 2017 where Farkas appears to happily admit that she was responsible for leaking sensitive information about what parts of the government might have spied on President-elect Trump and his Trump Tower. Fox News ran a story on this titled: Former Obama official discloses rush to get intelligence on Trump team
The Farkas statement in question: "I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy ... that the Trump folks – if they found out how we knew what we knew about their ... the Trump staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.
That's why you have the leaking ! "
