Ha!
A "dead letter" law. Awesome. So, you're saying that Flynn lied in order to escape the razor of a dead letter law that has never seen a conviction, and Constitutional scholars say was all but forgotten on the books.
And, further... Trump should be more concerned with Flynn abiding this dead letter law than the fact that the IC just end-arounded due process to shrink his cabinet.
Get out of here.
I'm saying that Flynn lied because he knew that undermining a current President's sanctions was wrong and Trump allowed this lie to be repeated (perhaps unknowingly) by his VP elect. That is undeniable. We know from the leaks that Trump was well aware that Flynn had discussed sanctions with Kislyak before Pence denied it on Face the Nation Jan. 15th and he never corrected the record. It's not an 'erosion of trust' that bothers Trump... it's that the truth was leaked. Very Nixonian, indeed.
