I don’t know what to think about this.
Since Sally Yates got this ball rolling downhill about Flynn, and Yates was fired by Trump for not enforcing the law, I have to ask this:
Cui bono? Who benefits?
Flynn is a 33 year career military man who was fired by Obama for not towing Obama’s bad policies—why would he “lie” about Russian sanctions of all things?
And since he is talking to a foreigner, is it not possible that there was a misinterpretation?
I don’t think Trump thinks Flynn deliberately lied, but Flynn being an a honorable military man, took himself out of the equation so Trump would not have to waste time defending him.
Flynn campaigned with Trump when it was not popular to do so, and was loyal to Trump.
The attacks on the Left on Ivanka, then Conway, now Flynn—all coming to a head in one week’s time means we are in a danger zone.
Combined with the attacks from all quarters on the EO on immigration and on the renewed ICE enforcement actions nationwide, I believe the GOP-E forces sense this is their time to try to isolate Trump and contain him before he gets his agenda off the ground.
And part of the way you do that is to pick off Trump’s people.
Notice how Ryan and McConnell cannot seem to get Obamacare and tax reform off the ground when it should have been ready to go on January 20th.
After all, they have been in charge of Congress for two years!
Heck, McConnell can barely move Trump’s cabinets pick through Congress.
If we did not have the 51 vote rule(courtesy of Reid, not McConnell) hardly any of Trump’s Cabinet would be seated.
Now the media will beat Trump over the head about this.
They mean to create a crisis atmosphere, so the more reasonable members of the GOP can step in and right the ship of state.
It is called a soft coup, and the script is coming into focus.
Remember, nothing in DC is ever what it seems to be on the surface.
But there is blood in the water now, and the Uniparty sharks are circling.
They are all scared of Trump’s effectiveness and his ability to show how the Uniparty has been screwing us over the last 30 years.
Cui bono?
Military complex and establishment are behind this.

These BASTARDS should have had OUR AGENDA ready to go in DAY ONE, they have had 8 Years to have a plan for OCARE, they should have been READY with a tax plan LOWER TAXES is our MANTRA for goodness sakes!!!
