It doesn't appear this is what happened. The administration was out there defending Flynn, until he admitted his "half truth".
Had Flynn told the full truth, that sanctions were mentioned, but were not discussed, the administration would have still defended him and won --- and would have been able to turn their attention to the illegal leaks.
I rolled my eyes when Newt was floated for COS. I don’t know if he is right for the job or not. There is a place in the WH for an experienced, trusted political insider who knows how what to expect & how to win political wars.
Just because it is not politics as usual for Trump does not mean the political parties will follow suit.
I do not trust Priebus. He should be replaced. He’s the GOPe’s fifth column in the White House. Trump needs people he can absolutely trust. No more of this “reaching out” to the GOPe, they are going to try and bring him down. Please Mr. President, don’t give them any more ammunition.
Yes, by all means, lets get rid of Flynn, Bannon, Priebus,Conway, Mattis, everyone.......
Do we need a paint by number here to figure out this picture?
While it’s sad to see Flynn go, I won’t shed any tears if Priebus is kicked out and replaced by somebody better. Along with Nikki Haley, Priebus is probably Trump’s most disappointingly pro-establishment pick.
So help me if he makes Conway or Bannon Chief of Staff I will be on prozac. LOL
Don’t know validity of any of the information in this article, but I recall that one of the main jobs of VP Pence was to get the Congress on board and moving. He is supposedly well liked by his former colleagues and knows the ins and outs of how things are done. So, not sure why Priebus should be taking the hit for Congressional inaction.
What we have learned is that somebody in the bowels of government knows exactly who the leakers are...
He and Paul Ryan have the same political DNA.
Reince will be gone by Independence Day.
