Thanks for the thoughts.
It appears to be bordering on treason like Kansas borders on the U.S.A.
I think the bigger crime is that none of these government employees will be held accountable.
I think that much of these stories is used as prior notice and/or full disclosure. If these things are made known, and no one says anything, in Law, , it amounts to tacit acquiescence, agreement, in effect.
If I thought this scandal was going to produce any justice, it would be funny if the only reason it came out was the endless push for investigation of Putin by the Democraps.
