If it was improper...we will know and Trump will can him...end of story. He was to be NSA...its his job to talk to the Russians...the only issue is whether he said something inappropriate which violated the Logan Act... The Logan Act dates to 1799, when a state legislator with no ties to any administration tried to assert himself as personal negotiator for final peace with France. The anti-Jefferson Federalists did not like this private initiative, so passed the Logan Act to make private ventures intent on negotiating personal treaties over international feuds a crime. The bill was whipped out in days.And in the 200 years since, not a single individual has ever been prosecuted under the act, not one. And its constitutionality is widely doubted in any event, even by Democrat legal scholars. http://townhall.com/columnists/robertcharles/2017/02/13/stop-the-logan-act-nonsense--respect-general-flynn-n2285299
