But that's obviously what happened with Flynn. Talking about policy with Kislyak, about the Russians postponing an UN security council vote. Which was not in the interest of the administration in charge. Enforced or never enforced, I feel it makes sense that this is a violation of sorts. The existence of a Logan Act makes sense.
I get it's not treason, you laid that one out for me quite clearly. I believe that. I wasn't in favour of hanging anyone, anyway.

In the whole scope, there possibly is way more than that, sure. To me it seems more likely than not that the Hillary email theft, or at least the publication afterwards, was orchestrated with Team Trump. Which possibly is ethically reprehensible, but not a crime, as far as Trump defenders claim. I don't know of course.
