The Flynn Affair Could Bring Down Trump’s Presidency

[rdean]

I don't think this is enough to bring Trump down. As long as he gives tax cuts to the rich and fucks over the American Middle Class, Republicans will protect him.

No Do Over you stupid idiot conservative. But the drums of Impeachment are now BEATING.

Says who? An ill-educated hack like yourself?

The mind set of the Alt.Left is pure sedition, lawlessness and un-American activities, that's what seriously needs investigation and will under Trump I'm thinkin.

btw. the left wing, "fake media" lead the gullible left to failure and depression and they're still sucking it up like fools, I'm really enjoying it, sooo entertaining..

You Trump Hoe's are going to learn its not the cover up.......its the LIES!!!!

Senate hearings on the subject, including testimony under oath, are likely.

If Donald Trump thinks accepting Michael Flynn’s resignation will feed the beast enough to sate its hunger, he is mistaken.

This story is big, and will only get bigger in the days, weeks and months ahead. It could be the beginning of the end of Trump’s presidency. To be sure, additional dots would have to be connected, but the picture is already beginning to come into focus.

The Washington Post has reported that Flynn discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with the Russian ambassador during the month before Trump was sworn in. The subject of sanctions was not something that was mentioned casually or incidentally. It was the main topic of at least one of the calls. It did not slip through the cracks of Flynn’s memory.

In the final days of the Obama administration, government officials at the highest level already knew enough about those communications, and the lies Flynn had told about them, to be alarmed. Exactly how they obtained this information isn’t fully known yet, but it seems to have been based on some mix of wiretaps, intercepted Russian diplomatic cables, and human resources.

The Post reported yesterday that in the month before Trump took office, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the CIA, the FBI Director, and the Acting Attorney General all believed that Flynn had put himself in a compromising position. The Russian government knew that Flynn had discussed sanctions with their ambassador, and that Flynn had lied about it in public. Flynn had also presumably lied to Vice President Pence, who had issued his own categorical denial.

"The familiar and ominous cry of “What did the president know and when did he know it?” is creeping into the national conversation."​

The Russians knew that Flynn had lied when he denied having discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador just as the Obama administration was in the process of imposing those sanctions on them for interfering with our presidential election. This was something the Russians could use as leverage against Flynn. They could threaten to expose him. In a word, Flynn might be vulnerable to blackmail by Russia.

According to the Post, that concern led Sally Yates, the then acting attorney general, to inform Donald McGahn, Trump’s White House Counsel, late last month that she believed Flynn had misled senior administration officials about his communications with the Russian ambassador. Yates warned McGahn that Flynn was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail.

So what does all this have to do with Trump? Up to this point, he hasn’t been implicated directly in any inappropriate conduct. But the familiar and ominous cry of “What did the president know and when did he know it?” is creeping into the national conversation.

My guess is that Trump only fired Flynn in self-defense - but it's way too late. The genie is out of the bottle.

I'm thinking the Flynn affair could final,y bring Obama down,,,,,

The Flynn Affair is a warning to Trump that the Executive Branch is chockfull'o leftwing/Prog/OFA operatives that are working to destroy his Presidency.

The sooner he fires a bunch of them, closes departments, transfers freight carloads to wee outposts in nowhereland, and reduces salaries to $1 per year for the Outraged Faceless Bureaucrats, the better.

So, when Flynn said he was the scapegoat, who was he referring to? Was it the Comrade or Bannon? Will Flynn lie under oath on this one....OF COURSE HE WILL. The whole WH is now full of liars!

Yep --- it's all those right wingers who rioted in the streets. it's all those right wingers who destroyed businesses. It's all those right wingers who have attacked people as they attempt to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Violent fucks, ain't they?

Yes the Fuhrer must consolidate his allies and eliminate his enemies.

 

[Boss]

You can't impeach presidents because you don't like them.

There's no case here and you don't have any political power to launch a witch hunt. In 200 years, no one has ever been convicted under the Logan Act... there's a good reason for that.

 

[Siete]

What did Trump know and when did he know it?

This is delicious

here ya go ..

• Late January: Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who would later be relieved of her duties by Trump because she declined to defend his travel ban, informs the White House counsel of Flynn's misleading statements and warns that they were so egregious that he could open himself up to Russian blackmail, given Russia knew he had mischaracterized the call to his superiors. The White House does not amend its false statements.

so he fires Yates and blames it on disagreeing with his travel ban BUT Yates had already told Trump about Flynn, Then the WH tries to cover it up by saying nothing ...


rutrow ... looks baaaaad huh.

snort~

This is potentially much worse than Watergate! Back then, Republicans had the balls and integrity to investigate Nixon.

If it were not for the patriots who leaked this, the lying, Russian loving, Flynn would still be getting classified information. Now, we only have one Comrade getting classified information...."Agent Orange."
