Curious to get input for those who have insight into the legal aspects of the recent news on General Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the FBI. A brief synopsis of what I understand so far (corrections are welcome since I am not well versed in the proceedings thus far):
-Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI regarding his previous statement about contact with the Russians.
-Said contact was at the direction of Jared Kushner, and it was relating to a vote on a UN resolution which the Trump administration wanted to pass regarding Israel.
-If the contact involved hacked DNC files/emails from Democratic officials, could be considered collusion. If not, it would be a possible violation of the Logan Act. For reference, no known convictions are on record for a violation of the Logan Act. The last relevant incident I can recall for this is when Bush wanted to try and get Pelosi on this for her dealings with Assad back in '07.
-If it is the former, and collusion is proved, does this have any relevance for impeachment, or still not a strong enough case? If the latter, do you think both Kushner and Flynn are ousted, or just Flynn?
Thanks
