So, just so we are clear - it is less outrageous in your eyes to protect and allow someone who has blatantly, and publicly broken a law to stay in power without any sanction, than it is to have the possibility that an obscure law, the enforcing of which has never resulted in a single conviction in over 200 years, that might have been broken could maybe used as blackmail? That's in your mind constitutes a (huge) national security risk?

While I'm open to the possibility that it could have posed a national security risk, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Yeah, not taking a 'faux' anything charge from you, Enoch. I honestly don't recall the last time I saw you engage in a discussion with anything remotely resembling good faith.
I'm sorry, it's entirely possible you are truly outraged. If that's the case, I apologize. I just wish we could have seen this same outrage at times that weren't so politically expedient. While I know you, and others seem to believe that a Russian sleeper agent has Manchurian candidate-d his way to the presidency, and that as we speak he's having golden shower parties with Russian hookers in the Lincoln Bedroom, those of us less inclined to sensational conspiracies still need to rely on the balance of probability, and Occam's Razor. Is it possible Trump is as you fear? I am open to it. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - evidence that I have not yet seen.
