Top Republican senators say Congress should probe Flynn situation
Washington Post ^ | Feb. 14, 2017 | By Sean Sullivan, Karoun Demirjian and Paul Kane

Top Republican senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said Tuesday that Congress should probe the circumstances leading up to the resignation of Michael Flynn as President Trump’s national security adviser, opening a new and potentially uncomfortable chapter in the uneasy relationship between Trump and congressional Republicans.

McConnell (R-Ky.) told CNN Tuesday that it is “highly likely” that the Senate Intelligence Committee will examine Flynn’s actions. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), vice chairman of the Senate GOP Conference and a member of the Intelligence Committee, said lawmakers ought to look at the matter as part of an existing probe into Russian meddling in the United States political system — a sensitive topic that has lingered over Republicans since Trump’s election victory.

I personally don’t think Flynn did anything wrong

I don't either. I think Obama spied on Trump's transition team, the GOPe is teaming up with Dems to try and take out Trump and the "establishment" is generally scared to death they're all going to get busted if Trump manages to get a grip on this monster of a swamp they have in D.C.

When discussing this situation of Trump’s appointee and the dynamics of a Congressional investigation of Flynn, I think it can best be destribed in movie terms as:

The Wimpire Strikes Back

These folks were wimps for eight full years. Now they feign concern over our national security apparatus?

Obama had members of the Muslim Brotherhood inside the White House as his advisors.

Hillary Clinton corrupted the FBI and the CIA.

Eh, those weren’t worthy of investigations, but Flynn is?

Man the deification is getting deep in Washington, D.C.

How about these GOPe idiots knock off this crap and instead get to work repealing Obamacare and cutting taxes?

Because they'd rather ruin Trump's Presidency so they can get back to business as usual. We need to make it clear that Trump was their last chance, if he goes down, they all do.

They lie lie lie and lie again. Sadly people believe their words which are lies and not their actions which they never have done anything good for America and yes that goes for all politicians because they only do what their rich donors want as in Soros .

Only Trump is not owned so they all will try to get Trump out.

Trump is looking more like GWB each day, who kept silent for too long while Oboyma attacked him on a daily basis. What good did it do him?

With friends like these "Republicans", who needs enemies.

They simply have no fear of people like us. What are we going to do, agree on a rally date, try to take a week off work without getting canned, travel on our own dime to DC then be herded away with prejudice from any of their offices or gated homes?

Once they get to Mordor on the Potomac, they listen to Soros, the Saudis and Iran, not you or I.

They promise us Obamacare repeal, tax cuts etc. instead they go after Trump not Flynn. anyone who thinks this isn’t watergate 2 is sadly unintelligent

Like Rush said today this is about investigating Trump not Flynn.

The communists definitely did not get the November message, or perhaps they did and simply don’t care.

Maybe grassroots weekend rallies in the states, in support for and appreciation of our President are the next step...

Is Flynn payback for Trump being critical of the CIA about the Russian/DNC hacks?

Some of us see what is happening. Most prefer not to. They do not give a rat’s about Flynn one way or the other. It is Donald Trump’s scalp they want. And they use every opportunity to go after him. Meanwhile has any of his agenda being move forward. Hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year they will drag it out until at the end of his term, nothing will have gotten accomplished.
