The resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Monday evening raises troubling questions about the role of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the intelligence services.
Flynn ostensibly resigned because he provided Vice President Mike Pence with “incomplete information” about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador, which turned out to include a discussion of recent sanctions, contrary to his earlier denials. Trust is crucial; the resignation was warranted.
That said, the sanctions were largely bogus, and were applied not just to punish Russia for spying on the U.S. (both countries clearly spy on each other), but to substantiate the Democratic Party’s sore-loser conspiracy theory that Russia was responsible for electing Donald Trump.
There is no concrete evidence to support that theory, and there is no evidence (yet) that Flynn did anything but discuss sanctions in the most general terms. He did not break the Logan Act, nor any other law, apparently.
Whether Flynn deliberately concealed the contents of his conversation from Vice President Pence, or merely forgot what had been said, he was “caught” because the Department of Justice had been eavesdropping on the conversation. And one of the officials responsible for ordering the eavesdropping was none other than Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who forced President Trump to fire her when she defied her duty to enforce his executive order on immigration, however, controversial.

Sally Yates for prison?
Ping
One would Sessions (DOJ) and Pompeo (CIA) are doing a complete inventory of current and past wiretaps conducted by the Obama administration. Something stinks here.
Dennis Kusinich, on with Maria Bartiromo, on Fox Business, seemed very concerned and warned that what is happening is very serious and it’s coming from the Intelligence community. He speculates that IC is trying to undermine and harm President Trump and the administration. Coup?
#4 is absolutely in play. ..
Didnt they go to fisa to try to get wiretaps on transition team And were denied?? Maybe i remember wrong
Hang her high.
Bet the leftists have been searching for anything the can get to remove him. I hope Trump installs someone even more hardcore than Flynn.
Very important point!
Intelligence Agencies undermining this administration is serious. Trouble ahead.
Is it strange to anyone else that he briefed Pence on the conversation rather than Trump?
Maybe some of John Brennan's contacts within the CIA?
Trump should use the old Obama tactic of distraction and set fires for him to put out. Get hundreds of white bigoted looking males to go into known bakeries with gay owners all over the nation and ask them to bake a cake with a bible verse on it. Let's see how inclusive and fair they really are. Then sue every homonazi that won't comply. Find out which bakery Obama or Michelle uses and hit that one hard so they'll call him for a "favor". Chaos will ensue.
However it is done, Trump simply must stop the leaks and make the intel services loyal to him. Internal security operations need to be undertaken and those leaking national security matters have to be silenced and locked up for a very long time.
This is what I was in my own imperfect way trying to say.
I still don’t think Flynn did anything wrong. When they announced sanctions against Russia as part of their story that Russia “hacked” the election, I knew it would not stand under Trump... not because Trump is a Russian agent, but because the whole story was bogus from the beginning. Obama was trying to poison the well on several levels and it wasn’t going to work.
It didn’t surprise me that Flynn, as Trump’s man, would be on the phone with the Russians telling them, don’t worry about it, it won’t stand. And Trump would by tweet and public comment say essentially the same thing.
So of course Flynn would be on the phone, with a wink and a nod, telling the Russians don’t get exited.
Now, who ordered the tap? Who leaked it? This is your 5th column. I remember the whole Niger/Wilson/Plame affair as essentially a CIA coup attempt against Bush that almost worked. They will do the same to Trump and it will be supported by the press, DNC, and half the GOP. There are elements who want to ignore or support the caliphate but are quite happy to engage in saber-rattling with Russia. Trump and Flynn are the enemy to them and, in concert with Obama hold-overs, Muslim Brotherhood plants, Soros operatives, and senators whose retirement portfolios were well padded with Saudi investments... Trump will have to fight every day for the next 8 years. They’ll probably try to take him down within the next 2.
Sally Yates is a shockingly evil woman, and I hope she encounters both Karma and justice in her future. However, she did some good by reminding everyone in the Trump Administration just how unified the establishment is against restoring constitutional (and especially limited) government. Learn from Flynn’s error, and move on with making America great again.
And who ordered the tap on an American Citizen?
Trump doesn’t have control of the government. It’s pretty obvious to me
“Trust is crucial”
That’s funny right there
Flynn was a former Obama appointee.
Drain the swamp
There is a group trying to sabotage, it is obamas operatives and that includes members of the congress/senate. They are terrified of their secrets being exposed!
