Well the truth is, cousin Mike.....I wrote that blurb sometime last week, the day after it happened.
Again, the truth is, now with a week worth of detail thrown at me, I do not believe any such thing.
Because like much of America, I was confused about the Mike Flynn thing. In fact, I still don’t know what the real story is about Mike Flynn.
I do know he is a good man and greatly admired by his colleagues.
What I don’t quite get is why Trump, given that a bunch of laws were broken, doesn’t just change his mind and bring Flynn back on.

Flynn lost the trust of the WH by misleading Pence. That is the stated reason. However, there are probably other reasons. Flynn had the reputation of being a maverick and a hothead. No doubt the intelligence community expressed their dislike of him to Trump and his advisors. Trump cannot reverse his decision at this point.
JMHO, Flynn was just the first name on the establishment's Hit List that got picked.
...not to mention that the Band of Slugs had to find something to get back on the offensive after all their other ploys (riots, the Famous Flaming Vagina March, etc etc) had been such flops...
Finally, as far as bringing Flynn back on.....
Lots of businesses get more results from their selection of outside consultants for the really tough jobs and I'm certain that DJT has used 'em, too.
