And did Hillary or anyone in her campaign call Russia too? Oh yeah to sell Russia Uranium. How is that NOT a scandal?
Why
President Trumo should not let the FAKE NEWS NETWORKS DICTATE who he can have in his cabinet.
The Main Stream News IS irrelevant, and the people are behind President Trump.
Which had their own FISA warrant to secretly tap and record Flynn's calls.

What he did was not illegal, but if he lied about it to VP Pence, he should be replaced. You have to be able to trust the word of the person in that position.
Flynn should simply have said, I’m the president’s advisor. What I say behind closed doors to him or on his behalf stays behind closed doors. Next question.
As for Trump, I’d be disappointed if he didn’t stand behind Flynn. If Flynn has done something to lose the president’s confidence, wait until this blows over and then “promote him out”. Don’t ever admit that the Fishwrap won this one.
great...reporting on what the WSJ is reporting.
The phone call is not the problem, but the testimony to Congress is.......................
...How is a phone call a scandal...
Unfortunately, there is a vague law against individuals “conducting” foreign policy. Trump had not yet been sworn in when this call took place, thus Flynn was a private individual when he conducted “business” in a phone call with the Russian Ambassador.
Sounds like he misrepresented the call to Pence and now the Pence/Priebus/Ryan wing of the admin is using that to try to oust him. But I am of course just surmising that.
Without knowing I have a hard time imagining that a prospective member of a future administration is breaking a law by mentioning sanctions in a conversation with the representative of another country—but I’d welcome detail to the contrary.
This is a ‘fake news’ account of a phone call that was interpreted they way the ‘fake news’ media wants it to be...
When President Trump was President Elect, there was a background check on Flynn's son, and Flynn's son was fired over it...now if they were checking the Flynn's then, they know about this supposed phone call...
And what about Hillary Clinton giving away our Uranium to Russia was far more a crime than this ‘fake news’ story on Flynn...
And what about what Barky did for 8 years...he knew Clinton had a ‘hidden server’ (more than one) and there were wiki leaks proving that he himself emailed her on those servers...where was the outrage over that...oh yeah I forgot...RATS are above the laws!!!
I hope to hell that Trump is smart enough to see this for what it is - a smear job on Mike Flynn by his enemies within the Intelligence Community.
Keep in mind that a substantial proportion of CIA employees, especially those outside the National Clandestine Service (NCS), are Ivy League graduates - particularly from Harvard. The Agency has been recruiting heavily from the Ivy League for a long time and if you’ve dealt with any of their “analysts” in recent years, you’d know they’re very liberal and dumb as a stump, with no real experience in much of anything - kind of like the NSC staff.
One other point to keep in mind: There is a direct and inextricable relationship between the CIA and the State Department and the degrees of separation between the two is vanishingly small. Mike Flynn, whom I happen to know, poses a real threat to the status quo in the IC. He’s one of a very small number of senior Military leaders who refused to play politics and knows the Intelligence Community, its capabilities and limitations, and all its warts from a strategic and tactical perspective.
Mike wrote this report and published it via CNAS in direct violation of DoD policy. Conclude from that what you like, but he’s a guy who is committed to doing the right things for the right reasons.
If he lied directly and knowingly to Pence AND/OR the transcript of the call indicates unauthorized actions, he should be asked to resign.
The fact that the call was transcribed - is this normal? It may indicate Obama may started an investigation into these matters after or around the election, one which is possibly ongoing?
So today it’s Flynn’s turn to be on the brink of hearing “You’re fired”? Yesterday it was Priebus, then Kellyanne...
True or Fake, news made fresh every day.
Fake News.
Transcripts prove the initial reports as lies.
FAKE NEWS ALERT!
Byron York is tweeting the transcript of the call does not show him offering anything as it has been speculated.

Now the Russians are chiming in

FAKE NEWS.
Just hand out Reset buttons. It worked for Hillary.
While what he said in them was harmless, Flynn deceived Trump twice about the phone calls to the Russkies.
That will likely get him fired.
No. No. No. No.
Don’t give the democrats a successful destruction of a valuable general.
Don’t do it! Please.
Does NOT equal...

I think it would be good if they remembered that hysteria does not translate to scandal. Just cause others do their best to make it so we do not have to go along.
