The Flynn Affair Could Bring Down Trump’s Presidency

[Reasonable]

Russian bullshit?
You do know that 13 intelligence agencies agreed Putin's fingerprints were all over the election, don't you?
Or you still lost in la la land?

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

These GOP slugs have NONE. They all sit down to piss.

Amen! I used to vote more Republican than Democrat - but today's Republican NaziCons have no honor or integrity. They act like they are ordained to govern. This Trump mess is a master clusterfuck! Probably even worse than Watergate.

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.

Funny thing that, nobody can say who in those agencies said that, and nobody has produced any evidence. But hey ,don't let that get in your way

 

[Reasonable]

Imagine the outcry from conservatives if this was a democratic president embroiled in this very same scandal.
Instead we get excuses and flights from reality by the Deplorables and its very telling and hilarious..

I used to vote more Democrat than Republican - but today's Democrat Nazi's have no honor or integrity. They act like they are ordained to govern. Obama was a master cluster fuck. No question worse than Watergate on a daily basis. Hopefully Trump fixes that.

Like a Republican friend told me right after the election, "This is not going to turn out well..."

TRUMP HAD TO KNOW what Flynn did............Pence, as the "stooge" used by Trump and Flynn, should resign (but he won't thinking that he may become president....a consequence of Trump's demise.).

sure theres evidence, you just cant read ..

• 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.

This sentence makes no sense, but it sounds like it benefits you at least. Congrats. You keep trying regardless of what those mean third graders say.

Several national security agencies have tapes and transcripts of Flynn's Russia conversation. That has been publicly acknowledged. Several Congress critters have already stated they have seen and heard it.

And FOX is saying the "leaks: are the problem. The leaks are the only things that are revealing what a lying pile of feces this administration is.

Please do pay attention to context. I will not allow you to deflect.

FLYNN DID NOT ACT WITHOUT ORDERS FROM THE WH. Even some of the Republicans are beginning to admit that.
