Now we know the reason Gen. Flynn was fired. It wasn't that he "lied" to Mike Pence. According to Fox, he accepted $500,000 to lobby for Turkey.

Trump did say other things during his presser lead to Flynn being let go, but he didn’t elaborate. This maybe one of those other issues.

You’d think someone would check the databases first. Then again, it depends on whether or not the agency doing the checking was actually interested in providing reliable information.

A few weeks ago Alex Jones said something to the effect that the real reason involved Turkey, but he wasn’t specific.

It is VERY difficult to find an honest politician....that is one of the various reasons Trump was elected.

President Trump has no use for lobbyists, Flynn knew that and did it anyway. Glad he is gone, maybe now people will stop defending him.

Every time I hear V.P. Pence speak, I think, we have to make sure this guy is our next president.

Didn’t President Trump sign an executive order saying administration officials were banned from lobbying for a foreign government for life?

Yeah, but look at this—this was apparently disclosed to the transition team, headed up by, ahem, Pence, by Flynn’s attorney, before he was named NSA.

And here is another method by which Pence would have known about this back in November:

Yet, here is Pence claiming he just heard about that this week:

I don’t trust Pence for a minute, and my guess is that Trump knows enough not to trust him either. (You never see him in on key discussions with senior aides.)
