President Trump responded publicly to the news of the forced resignation of his national security advisor, Michael Flynn, asserting on Tuesday that the “real story” is the number of “illegal leaks” from U.S. government officials.

Trump made the claim in an early-morning tweet.

So you’re saying it is NOT a good thing for leakers to inform the President when one of his advisors or cabinet members have lied to him? By all means, let them lie as much as is convenient, that is so helpful to the President.

Wonder if anyone has a transcript of Pelosi’s conversation with Assad in her visit to Syria in 2007.

Interesting bunch went with her...

Keith Ellison, Nick Rahall, Louise Slaughter, Henry Waxman, and token Republican David Hobson.
She met with Assad for 3 hours then went to lunch with him.

The US had earlier withdrawn its ambassador when Syria assassinated Lebanese official Rafiq Hariri in 2005. At the time Syria was supporting the insurgency in Iraq. Hamas’s leadership was based in Damascus at the time as well.

Powell’s aide Armitage visited Syria in Jan 2005 before the assassination of Hariri by Syria.

Preach it!

I have to give Trumps some credit. He's been working on a LOT of things.

He KNEW that he was going to have to deal with Obama holdovers eventually.

I'd say that once his cabinet and Gorsuch are finally seated, he needs to completely eviscerate the heads of these anti-American agencies.

Purge them of ANY Obama loyalists.

Take a few scalps of his own.

Oh, no resignations either.

Fire and prosecute them.

Even the WSJ had an editorial today asking who - and why, without a judicial order - was spying on Flynn. Remember that Flynn is a Dem, but obviously was sympathetic to Trump’s program. So this is what the left thought it could use, and even though there is no evidence that Flynn discussed anything unlawful, they’ve got their cause.

Flynn should have told Pence m0re about this, but the real problem lies with this bizarre Obama- era spying and the people behind it (who still have their jobs). Trump needs to get rid of all of them,

Trump handing the Left Flynn’s scalp was a fatal mistake.

This is the real story. The media knew Tillerson was planning to meet Lavrov on Thursday at Germany G-20, and threw as much shade as it as they could muster. This article is so fresh, Flynn is most of the story:

Russian Foreign Ministry Says Meeting Planned Between Lavrov, Tillerson

Cletus counsels POTUS-DJT:

Don’t waste time. Send in the US Marshall-corps to arrest and detain, for 24-hours, ALL the involved under suspicion of TREASON (federal felony). Allow the FBI/Marshall develop evidence in this 24-hour time-frame. Sweat them out.

Ignore the “exploding-heads” of the liberal press.
Revealing “national security information” is not protected by Amnd-1; it is rite-fully...sedition.

So you’re okay with leftist dem/RINO hold outs and their MSM fellow saboteurs picking off all of President Trump’s cabinet members?

Because the leftist MSM would NEVER twist a story to destroy any of the opposition to the socialist-democrats?

How about we leak out ALL of YOUR personal information to the masses, solely because you’re not a flaming leftist (which may or may not be the case)?

This isn’t about what Flynn said to who in Russia.

This is all about how that info became public, like other leaks.

Fire everyone hired in Obama’s term and retire everyone from Clintons term.
This is what was happening in 2001 and we all know how that turned out.

Yep. Making an example of an underling in order to scare a big shot into acting civilly is a time-honored “tradition” in China—LONG before the ChiComs. All Chinese know the idiom, “kill the chicken to scare the monkey” (sha chi ching hou [sha ji jing hou, PinYin]

Trump needs to put some leakers behind bar soon. A little jailtime will go a long way.
