Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) used the word treason when describing Gen. Michael Flynns actions. However, his concern is not Flynn but the role the president played in these series of Russian scandals.
The bigger problem, the scandal of the century, not the scandal of the week, is this ongoing relationship with Russia, the former Marine told CNNs Wolf Blitzer Tuesday. There is no question its the unequivocal conclusion of all our intelligence agencies that Russia wanted Donald Trump to be elected president. Either thats just because they think Trump is Putins buddy and he is going to do his bidding or because they have material they can use against the administration. We dont need to just know what Flynn knew or when his associates in the White House knew, we need to know what Russia knows and what they still hold over the heads of the people in the White House.
Moulton said he doesnt believe anything in Washington happens in a vacuum, whether its a meeting or a phone call.
Lets not lose perspective on exactly who were talking about here, he continued. If members of the administration are essentially conspiring with Russia, either through the campaign earlier, now than the look, Wolf, thats the definition of treason. This is a very, very serious affair. We all have to understand whats going on with Michael Flynn, but we cant let this little scandal or perhaps a big scandal at the moment let us lose sight of the much bigger scandal, which is what is the overall connection between Russia and the Trump administration.
