Flynn resigns

[Michchamp]

one down...

Can't say I'm surprised he was the first to go.

Scapegoat #1. Took 3.5 weeks.

 

[Michchamp]

the whole thing is sketchy.

supposedly the former acting attorney general (the competent one Trump fired) warned him a month ago that Flynn's exchange with Russia was improper and exposed the US government to potential blackmail by the Russians. I haven't read that much on this though so I'm not sure why.

 

[Michchamp]

I wonder who will be the next to go, and why.

If it involves a mental breakdown, demanding the US annex Israel "the Holy Land," showing up to press conferences barefoot, speaking in tongues... my money is on Ben Carson. Or maybe Bannon.

If it involves greedy corruption, my money is on Price or Mnuchin.

If it involves a combination of the two, my money is on DeVos.

If it involves slapstick comedy, like slipping on a banana peel and accidentally triggering a nuclear meltdown while visiting a plant, my money is on Rick Perry.

Told my wife last night he was going to have to resign or he would be let go. It appears he may be in big time trouble . If this had happened to Clinton appointy in the first month of her presidency there would be investigations for years.

Maybe we should have a poll. Lol. I think your right Devos., Price or Carson are my top three but heck Perry is incompetent. The epa guy is terrible too.

But... but... EMAILS! SHE DELETED EMAILS!

Even though Bush did it too and on a much larger scale, but that's neither here nor there.

The swamp has turned into a marshland.

Because of fast paced events he gave false information??? How did he become a General???

I think it would be wise to take his explanation with a pretty damn big grain of salt. For some reason I find it hard to believe that giving that message to the Russian ambassador was all his idea.

I haven't seen anywhere that discusses exactly what was said in the talks he's resigning over. If there was some deal involving the sanctions, it seems like it's important to figure out who else was in on it and make sure it doesn't happen. The story shouldn't end with Flynn.

I have to assume that is intentional. If the information shouldn't have been shared with a Russian ambassador, it stands to reason it shouldn't be public information.

Haven't read too far into it, but this seems like a good discussion:

Spicer just flipped flopped over the Flynn timeline in his briefing. Looks our Sally Yates sent information over on Flynn. Is this true. I guess so. Oh well Flynn is just the fall guy..

the never trumpers within are doing everything the can to damage trump. Trump is aware of it all and it will all be weeded out in the coming weeks

 

[tigermud]

Of course trump deosnt help himself by insulting people on twitter all the time, if there is one thing he could stop doing that would be it. I might just have to sign up on twitter and start hounding him to knock that off. Seriously dude stop with the twitter, it only focuses the energy for those wanting you to fail

Is Flynn a never trumper? Because from where I'm sitting he did the damage himself. Is nobody supposed to talk about it?

I was ok with Hilary getting raked over the coals when she was a victim to leaks, I'm ok with Flynn/Trump getting the same treatment. I think it's hypocritical to all of the sudden be worried about leaks in Washington when just this past year many of us were all for them.
