That’s an interesting thought...but I still think Pompeo is the man we need right now....and he’s a true Patriot.
He will be dead before anything happens. That’s our pathetic legal system.
I wish him luck.
Trump: I fired Flynn because of what he told Pence
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/16/trump-no-i-didnt-tell-flynn-to-talk-about-sanctions-with-russia.html
A defiant President Donald Trump on Thursday insisted that he asked Michael Flynn to resign because of Flynn’s statements to Vice President Mike Pence.
“I fired him because of what he said to Mike Pence.”
Trump added that he had no problem with Flynn making the calls because he was “doing his job.”
Trump maintained that he asked Flynn to resign only because of the statements he made to Pence, not because they were made public in a Washington Post report.
“I asked for his resignation. He respectfully gave it,” he said.
“With all that being said, I think he’s a fine man.”
—>>>> He stressed that he did not think Flynn did anything wrong by talking to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Trump made mistakes like all of us would in his four years in office.
Sessions was a mistake, but in many ways I think Flynn was his biggest mistake. His one chance to stand up to the intelligence community and by abandoning him (thanks to Pence and Priebus and the GOPe) during the media storm he taught his opponents that they could win by simple hysteria.
Flynn did nothing wrong. Period. Trump threw him to the wolves and I suspect that he recognizes it was a major mistake because they never let up.
God bless you, General Flynn, and I hope you take those bast*rds to the cleaners.
I have been reading negative posts about Trump from Golden Eagle for two weeks, no matter the subject, and not one positive comment.
I was furious on here at the time. The phrase I kept using, that I had heard from other knowledgeable conservatives, including media personalities, who had the same concerns as I did, was "blood in the water." Once there was blood in the water, more sharks start circling. You don't put blood in the water, especially so early in a Presidential term.
It was an incredibly naive, but honestly an idiotic decision. People forget who he then chose to replace Flynn.
McMaster. Tell me it wasn't ignorant now. You can't.
I give Trump credit when he deserves it, it’s just awfully rare these days. Here’s an example from just a few days ago, when he actually deserved it, and there were several others at the time.

Flynn admitting to a felony that he didn’t commit is not going to help his case.
True, but all reports are he either had to plea or the DOJ was threatening they would arrest his son. Trump deserves the blame for ever putting that family in that situation, IMO. But, just like the J6 families, he don't give a %$#@.
General Flynn was his own worst enemy by agreeing to meet with the FBI without NSC legal counsel present. And he knew (based on his statements post-pardon) that the FBI senior leadership was politicized.
Once he agreed to that meeting his goose was cooked.
Just a grievous mistake and poor judgment.
He was perfectly fine until Trump forced him to resign. The only way to remove a Presidential cabinet member is by impeachment, which wasn't about to happen over that issue.
Good analogy. It was blood in the water.
I think Trump was taken aback and all the weak-kneed sisters around him were telling him you have to get rid of this guy.
The one guy who had promised to go “full Trump” on the bloated intel apparatus in DC was taken out by Comey and the idiots that ran the Russian collusion delusion and their media minions. One of the few who would have been loyal to Trump and he was “gone like that”. They immediately played the same game on Sessions and it was not hard..... he proved immediately that he would take instruction from the permanent bosses within DOJ.
The two entities that did the most damage to Trump until he turned his Presidency over to Fauci were DOJ and the IC and “they” (not Trump) basically got to do their thing and they attacked him non-stop.
Sessions turned out to be a fainting goat, but I had high hopes for Flynn.
Flynn did NOTHING wrong. The FBI does not control the NSC or the head of the IC.
They made up a bunch of bullcrap, leaked all over the place to their media minions to create a firestorm, used Mike Pence like a chump (or he was in on it), and relied on Trump’s “RNC” approved circle of advisors to run out the one man who was a threat to them.
Then they proceeded to kneecap Trump at almost every turn for four years because he surrendered all control over the IC (and DOJ/FBI).
Compare Flynn’s discussion and his alleged sin of telling the Russians to just stand by and not react to the fart bomb Obama threw into the theater as he was packing up his boxes at the WH to what John Kerry did for over a year with Iran.
Look who got “charged”. The Obama’s left the WH, but he (not Trump) maintained control over the IC/DOJ and still does.
I wanted Flynn as the VP, so I was especially po’d when Trump supposedly listened to Pence and fired him. Many wanted Flynn as the VP so I think that may have played into Pence wanting to take him out.
The main argument against Flynn for VP at the time was his pro-abortion stance, which obviously bothered me, but I just thought Trump needed someone who really understood the military working closely with him and that was the only available choice.
Maybe Pence brought some needed rationality to Trump, and Flynn would have been too much together with Trump to win the election, but Trump still should have hung onto him at all costs. Flynn was truly devoted, and basically no one after that was.
The Jan. 5, 2017 WH meeting with Obama, Biden, Denis McDonough and Susan Rice discussing what to do with Flynn and how to take him out laid the groundwork for his firing and the subsequent Intel playbook.
It seems longer than 2 weeks that I have been reading.
WTH TOOK HIM SO LONG?
PENCE threw him to the sharks!!
