“Despite repeated assurances that he hadn’t meddled in US foreign policy during the presidential transition period, Flynn reportedly assured the Russian ambassador to the US that sanctions placed on the country by President Obama would be eased once President Trump took office.

Compounding the situation, Vice President Mike Pence [misled by Flynn] repeated Flynn’s claim in media interviews.”

But which sanctions was Flynn even referring to? The ones involving so-called “hacking into the election”, or Russia’s invasion of Crimea?

“The United States and other Western powers imposed sanctions on Russia in 2014 over its annexation of the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine and its support for pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine.”

This was a huge mistake. The left never backs down. This was so minor nothing Burger and now they’re going to use it forever. Whoever advised Trump to let him quit should be fired.

It’s a damned shame. Democrats are sore losers, but even more sickening, and more aggressive when they win. We don’t need any winning by the Democrats. It isn’t something that should be allowed.

In Dec, 2016, Flynn sat two seats from KGB Putin at a Russia Today gala to mark its 10th anniversary. Russia Today (RT) is a state-run propaganda “news” outlet. No wonder wise top officials in the Trump administration didn’t trust him, even before he reportedly gave assurances to the Russians that recent sanctions would be lifted by Trump. Something he failed to brief Pence on. The guy was an obvious Putin stooge. This is why our resident Putinistas are so upset about him leaving.
__________________________________

It was December 10 [2016], and Vladimir Putin was the guest of honor at RT’s 10th anniversary dinner, at Moscow’s Metropol Hotel in the shadow of the Kremlin. ...”

“Seated next to Simonyan at the dinner and just two seats away from Putin himself was perhaps the most intriguing example of how the Russians have gone about recruiting disaffected members of that establishment: a rugged-looking man in a tuxedo who less than 18 months earlier had been head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s powerful in-house equivalent of the CIA.

Michael Flynn, now a private citizen after a reportedly disgruntled retirement, was not there to gather intelligence. His attendance at the RT [Russia Today] gala, before which he also gave a talk on world affairs, appeared to inaugurate a relationship with the network—presumably a paid one, though neither Flynn nor RT answered queries on the subject.

Flynn now makes semi-regular appearances on RT as an analyst, in which he often argues that the U.S. and Russia should be working more closely together on issues like fighting ISIL and ending Syria’s civil war.

“Russia has its own national security strategy, and we have to respect that,” he said in one recent appearance. “And we have to try to figure out: How do we combine the United States’ national security strategy along with Russia’s national security strategy, despite all the challenges that we face?”...”

The FBI was spying on Trumps transition team. Sally Yates the acting AG that Trump fired was behind the effort.

This stinks to high heaven. Our spies who couldn’t find a thing on Hillary, Podesta, Obama, et al, is aggressively conducting surveillance against the executive branch. This is secret government crap.

The danger levels are extremely high folks.

So Flynn lied about something so trivial as the Logan act. He could not accept responsibility for the smallest of screw ups.

His letter resigning also shifts blame, rather than accepting responsibility.

It was foolish of Trump to accept his resignation: the left and the media (but I repeat myself) will smell blood in the water.

Classy resignation from a class-act.

This scenario is so sad and so vicious.
M. Flynn has been a patriot to the US and to DJT before and after becoming CIC.
The media/left jumped on this and made it the hurricane it is today. Now he has resigned, we pray President Trump will align his pins and throw the ball back at them. This was not a strike, only one pin. The ‘game’ is not over.

He’d be in real trouble if he had set up an insecure private server in his bathroom. Oh, wait...
