His links to Russia were known ahead of his election, so as entertaining as all this is, there isn't anything illegal here. The people knowingly (or blindly) elected a guy who was into intelligence sharing with Russia and since the President gets to say who and what he shares with whomever he wants this is just how it is. This outrage is theater, nothing more.

There is a difference between having a business in Russia and colluding with Russians to disrupt American elections.

The only disruption was stuff that was already in the public domain already in some form or another, or scurrilous rumors of the sort that always go around. We all drank deep of the fountain of fake news, but that is a first amendment issue. There has been no interference in the actual apparatus of elections, no tampered voting machines, no altering of ballots, nothing like that.

I don't think we know that. There was the appearance of ballot-box stuffing in Wisconsin on election night, even if they came up with an "explanation" later.

Even if you accept that nothing is illegal if the President does it - and I don't agree, but even if you accept that - that still doesn't make the outrage "theater". Just because he was elected doesn't mean people have to think what he does is good or proper. People are outraged at what he did because they're outraged at what he did. There's nothing invalid about that. What the fuck are you talking about "theater"

I don't think ayrt thinks nothing the president does is illegal. It's just that, relevant to this particular situation, the president has final say on what to do with confidential information.

I agree with the rest of your comment though. It's perfectly valid to disagree with what he did.

I agree with the conclusion that revealing confidential information was not illegal. I don't agree with anon's line of reasoning about how it's fine because he was elected and this was known about him therefore it's legal.

Okay but there's still a fucking process he has to go through and he didn't, and he endangered lives to be all buddy-buddy with Putin-it-in-Trump's-ass which is basically fucking treason.

That's like saying people have no right to be mad about a travel ban or building a wall or repealing the ACA because Trump said ahead of time he would do those things. People disagreed with those ideas before the election and they disagree with them now. The fact that Trump won doesn't somehow magically change the minds of everyone in the country. People aren't "acting surprised," they're expressing disagreement.
