Did you read the full column? I provide excerpts from the NYT, WaPo, and WSJ which show the idea that he told this big lie is an exaggeration.
I had a thought. There's a lot of speculation that there was a leak about that Yemen operation. And there's the imperfect aspects of the order for the temporary stay on travel from those seven countries. I'm still wondering if that isn't connected to the raid being compromised and having to stop bad guys from Yemen from getting on planes to the US. Is all of this connected to one hot mess in Flynn's staff? Then putting Pence in a bad position about that conversation....that was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. Trump's Presidency depends on VP Pence being above reproach.
And look at the timing. AG Sessions is finally in place. One can't help but think he's got a lot of work to do.
This is pure speculation - conspiracy theory - on my part. I just don't see anything that contradicts the way I'm connecting the dots.
