AT:  The irony is you use the term "immature children" to defend the most immature public official I've seen in my lifetime.  Really, sir, can you name a public official who even approaches the immaturity of The Donald?  Acccountability is provided by public exposure of ethical and possibly legal transgressions.  If the media hadn't exposed Flynn's actions, Trump would have continued to cover up the communications....after all, he hid them for several weeks until the press made them public.  Using your logic (that's fine in this case), since Flynn was held accountable (forced to resign his power position) he was guilty of "a clear violation of a law or rule."  Since that was the case, do you feel Trump was "wrong" in hiding Flynn's "clear violation of a law or rule" until it was exposed by the media and he could no longer hide it?  I'd be interested in your answer.   Gary Crum
