The Deep State Bumps Off General Flynn. Who’s the Next Target?

I. The Main Stream Media’s Victory Lap The Deep State has done its dirty work, getting rid of Michael Flynn, the now-former national security adviser to President Trump. And so the MSM, having taken direction—even dictation—from the Deep State, is moving in for the kill. The ultimate target, of course, is Trump himself.

The Washington Post, which has long hated Republicans, and Trump in particular, is leading the charge. On February 15, seven of the eight top stories on its online home page were anti-Flynn, anti-Trump—and, of course, pro-MSM.

Let’s take a closer look: The Post seemed particularly proud of this moment-by-moment account, known in the trade as a “tick-tock”: “Flynn’s swift downfall: From a phone call in the Dominican Republic to a forced resignation at the White House.” And yet the Post was just getting warmed up. Here’s another headline: “Flynn episode ‘darkens the cloud’ of Russia that hangs over Trump administration.”

From there, the Post moved on to stories emphasizing what it saw as chaos in the White House: “Flynn departure erupts into a full-blown crisis for the Trump White House.” And the paper added this bit of ominousness: “Senators from both parties pledge to deepen probe of Russia and the 2016 election.” The Post’s guiding idea, of course, is that responsible leaders on both sides of the aisle are horrified by Trump, and so they are contemplating appropriate action.

What sort of appropriate action? Well, for starters, it would be a thorough investigation, but, after that, maybe forced resignation or impeachment. And to that end, the Post helpfully offered its readers a guide to the hoped-for Watergate 2.0; as another headline read, “Flynngate? Kremlingate? Russiagate? The gate’s out of the gate.”

“Flynn did it to himself by lying to Pence.. grow a pair Flynn. Appoint someone who isn’t a liar, for starters. Clean in front of your own doorstep before going after your neighbors.
From the Benghazi hearings, I know there are some hard working, honest legislators.. Flynn had some previous Russian ties... so it was questionable from the beginning. Vet.”

They said he did not lie or do anything wrong. Flynn’s statement was that he provided inaccurate information to Pence - sounds like an accidental omission or faulty memory or something. If he didn’t lie - or do anything wrong - Trump should have stood by him and refused his resignation. I am the biggest Trump fan ever, but I am disappointed by this - and I feel that it has opened the door for more witchhunts. No Trump appointee is safe now if the Left doesn’t like them. Makes me suspicious of the ones the Left DOESN”T go after now.

I feel like this is a big setback.

I was never wild for Flynn. He’s a Dem. I thought he was a mistake. It happens. Its best to just cut him loose now and move on. This story will be dead in a month. The Gorsuch hearings will be the next flashpoint.

I suspect Gen. Flynn would still be at his post if he had been forthcoming with VP Pence.

We may find out one day why Flynn was dumped but I guarantee it was not because of a so-called lie to Pence. This is clearly a B$ cover story with rehearsed talking points.

Something still not right about this situation.

We are in a minority here for sure. Most Freepers have accepted the B$ cover story. The whole explanation stinks, sounds rehearsed and shallow, Pence was disrespected? Right.
