    That would bring chaos. LaSalle were a nation of laws. There is no ex post facto exemption for treason. How do you go back to status quo ante???? Explain that. While you're at it what would happen to people who followed laws or orders taken under the regime that we're legal then but may not be if repealed. What about orders or laws that are perfectly good. Are they to be automatically repealed? As BengalB said to undo what needs to be undone would take new orders/ laws/rulings.

    I'm not usually one to question sources but the daily beast? Come on. You know all about IAC, right? The Vice Chairman is on the BoD for the Clinton Foundation. They are primarily an online entertainment rag. I just can't.

    Well if people were following the law at the time they never broke a law. That's simple. And good luck getting congress to do anything. We shouldn't be stuck with laws or nominees a traitor passed and appointed. But I get the part about the nominees because they received a majority of senatorial votes to confirm anyway, the EU's however, that's a different story. That was 1 dude.

    Hey it's an editorial not a news piece. I also think this is pretty accurate. If you disagree tell me what you don't like.

    How about the fact it's all based on speculation.

    The big Russia questions loom even larger
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...ions-loom-even-larger/?utm_term=.9e6de2808d5a

    .....How did Paul Manafort, Carter Page and Michael T. Flynn, all enriched by surrogates of Russia (in Manafort’s case by the Kremlin’s stooge in Ukraine and in Flynn’s case, RT, among others) come to work on a single campaign? Did whoever put them there know the extent of their Russian connections? Did Trump? Never in any campaign have so many pro-Russian, Russian-paid advisers worked for a single presidential candidate — one who wound up refusing to criticize Russia and indeed echoing its disinformation......

    .....And this brings it back to Trump and his own ties to Russia. He has fervently denied any association with Russians. And yet we know he had extensive ties to Russian oligarchs. “To expand his real estate developments over the years, Donald Trump, his company and partners repeatedly turned to wealthy Russians and oligarchs from former Soviet republics — several allegedly connected to organized crime, according to a USA TODAY review of court cases, government and legal documents and an interview with a former federal prosecutor.” Just among the deals discovered so far we know that “[t]he president and his companies have been linked to at least 10 wealthy former Soviet businessmen with alleged ties to criminal organizations or money laundering.”

    Any one of these things — Russian-enriched advisers, echoing Russia propaganda and trying to conceal extensive business dealings with Russians — would be enough to set off alarm bells. The presence of all three is, well, astounding. What’s more, when this was all laid out to him first as a candidate and then as president he refused to concede the findings of months and months of U.S. intelligence in uncovering the Russian “active measures.” Such denial was blindness, at best, and potentially intentional misrepresentation seeking to end inquiry into Russia’s “active measures,” at worst......

    Interesting though that now money from Russia seems to be a no-no.

    Understand what he is saying: The now president of the United States and his campaign team either wittingly or unwittingly helped carry Russian disinformation targeted at American democracy. The magnitude of that analysis has yet to sink in. Consider the number of questions that raises, and the implications for the investigation underway.

    Ladies and gentleman, I present to you "extreme carelessness".. which is not a crime I am told.
