Trump Claims ‘Illegal Leaks’ Are ‘The Real Story’ Behind Michael Flynn’s Resignation
Daily Caller ^ | 2-14-2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 02/14/2017 9:46:14 AM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

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.

We need some Conservative Black voices to start answering the lies Conyers, Cummings, Maxine and the lot who never called Obama on one misstep for eight years and turned a blind eye to the Clinton crimes.....now they want blood from the Trump administration.

This political class lost the last election and they are in the process of losing America...being Black is not working anymore....being American is.

Flynn was canned for lying to VP Pence about the phone calls, not for the phone calls themselves.

The number of leakers cited in the reporting of Flynn’s calls were substantial.

I submit that the President had better take some actions then.

President Trump is exactly right on this. This has nothing to do with what Flynn may or may not have said during a phone conversation.

This has EVERYTHING to do with who leaked that conversation to a reporter through “anonymous” sources.

Find this “anonymous” source, and charge them with espionage, because that is what actually occured.

This is the leftist socialist democrats attempting to pick off all of President Trump’s cabinet members and advisors.

Then why accept the resignation

For putting VP Pence in a difficult position. And when questioned about it Flynn said "he can't be sure"

Now the pushback should be Sedition charges against those who've leaked intel to the media.....going back to when it started in the campaign.

Possibly Flynn, but difficult to accept that theory.

Otherwise, I would look at the 0dunga-friendlies in the NSA or CIA, OR 0dunga willingly gave hostile third parties THE ABILITY TO ACQUIRE SECRET DISCUSSIONS occurring at the White House.

Trump needs a full sweeping of the White House for 'bugs', utilizing an OUTSIDE contractor NOT potentially affiliated to 0dunga-friendly agencies or personnel.

I agree that we need to hear from him (at a campaign stop) about this. Get into “your world” Mr. President and talk to the American people. The MSM is not interested in understanding Trump’s perspective or position

Can’t remember what is was but McPoopHead was running his mouth about something recently that shouldn’t have been leaked. Lets start with him.

See my post #19. I agree that tweeting is like plugging the hole in the Oroville emergency spillway after the spillway has developed 7 leaks. Trump needs to give a speech from the Oval Office during Prime time. He needs to interrupt our lives with a Reaganesque heart to heart talk laying out he big picture and a few telling details.

You are absolutely correct on that Flynn did nothing but make phone calls to his counter parts getting ready to take is office!!! That is not a crime!!!!
Trump should have refused his resignation. Trump is doing a poor job in reacting to this coup d’ Tat by the left. He better get tough and crack down.
