The Washington Compost is just trying to outdo the NY Slimes as left wing political hacks.
If he told the Russian ambassador: “We’ll have more flexibility after the election” - he’d only be quoting the former president
And suppose Flynn's response was "I simply don't know what President Trump has under consideration."
Are you telling me that was a discussion?? You're nuts if you think so.
This is all garbage...the media doesn’t like Flynn, he knows that and so does President Trump...do you think for a minute that President Trump would have put him up for any office without knowing every hair in Flynn’s closet...not on your life...
This is the media and the left’s way to trying to tear down the Trump Administration and we the American People are NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN...are we!!!
For some, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. For the Left, a mind is a terrible thing - period.
Flynn came to prominence because he exposed how the Obama administration was knowingly arming and supporting al-Qaeda in Syria.
All the venom directed towards Flynn is coming from people who are angry about that.
The relentless, unfounded, largely unsuccessful pursuit by THE LOSERS in their effort to lord it over THE WINNERS may be the thing which transforms the Republicans into a brutal political party which takes no prisoners, ousts cowards like John McCain, Paul Ryan and Lyndsey Graham, and which uses every possible means to finally triumph over the radical anti-American left.
Something has to light a fire under the GOP. Crap like this Ivanka thing and this Michael Flynn thing just might do it.
Alan Dershowitz said the other day on Fox News that the Logan Act has never been enforced and is probably unenforceable.
A few years ago I was watching television and Flynn was on dressed in his military uniform.
At one point in the interview he commented on Obama not calling the problem Muslim Oriented.
That caught my attention and shortly thereafter Flynn said he had been at war with radical Islam for 10 years.
I jumped up and said to my wife "take a good look at that General, because he won't be seen again on TV.
Ultimately Flynn was forced out and when he next surfaced he was in civilian clothes campaigning with Donald Trump.
Flynn knows, as does Bannon, the problem with terrorism is following Islam itself as Muhammad did, and that drives the left crazy. -Tom
Enough already. NSA or someone has a recording of that phone call. Just play the thing. If he did violate the Logan Act, fire him. If not, then the lib news needs to report it and finally shut up about it.
If libs continue this, then we need to bring up the fact that Teddy the Swimmer, while he was a Senator, and John Kerry, negotiated their own positions with the North Vietnamese during the Paris peace talks at the end of the Vietnam war. After all, Kerry was a private citizen, at the time, just like Mike Flynn was when he was speaking the Russian Foreign Minister, after all, he wasn’t a Cabinet member at the time.
Let’s see: Ted Kennedy went to Russia to negotiate against Reagan. The speaker of the house sent a Dear Commadante letter to Nicagragua. Guess those were not as serious as this, eh?
none of this matters. it isn’t about the Logan Act or any thing Flynn did or didn’t did.
It’s about fighting Pres. Trump every second of every minute every day...truth be damned.
More troubling in all this is why was the federal government spying on a private citizen and listening in on his telephone conversations? I thought NSA had stopped doing that?
Kelly is on the record for opposing islamic doctrine. Under Obama, CIA head Brennan was widely rumored as being muslim. There are doubtless carryover muslim sympathizers at CIA Pompeo needs to root out. I’d hope Pompeo understands and focuses on rooting them out rather than blocking Kelly.
The media is only the tool which the mandarins of the intelligence community are using against Trump, using Flynn as a target among many.
Where do you think reporters got a transcript of the conversations between Flynn and the Russian if not from one of the intel officials who wanted to leak the information so it would become public?
They get two birds with one leak if they can damage Flynn to the point where the Dems and their media lap dogs can brew up the story to where his continuation as National Security Advisor becomes untenable.
And any flaw in the administration that can be exploited is also a victory against the President.
