The CIA and the Liberals must be so proud of themselves today, as General Flynn resigned from President Trump’s Team. He will no longer be there to protect the American people with his honesty and to advise President Trump, as he is going to need it. This is just the beginning of the attacks on Trump’s Team.
Mark Levine a prominent Conservative radio host had this to say about the Flynn situation: The left is attacking Gen Michael Flynn over unproven allegations that he discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before President Trump took office. The media and the Left is going to use leaks from the Obama administration hold-overs to smear every one of Trump’s staffers and confidants.

America’s intelligence community is a disgrace. We in heap big trouble, Kemo sabe.
“The left is attacking Gen Michael Flynn over unproven allegations that he discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before President Trump took office.”
With the prior POTUS making a half assed attempt at starting WWIII, I’d expect the incoming administration-to-be team would make some contacts to discuss short term expectations.
Really liked General Flynn and this is a great loss. Don’t think this is a good move.
Agree Democrats will increase attacks but I believe the only reason he is out is that he lied to VP. It’s the lie that kills the credibility. Pence is a the straight-shooter. If he goes out and tells press Flynn told him he didn’t and he believes him, then Flynn comes back and says well that isn’t true. Credibility eaten up. Now, would Democrats do the same, likely not, as the media would just look the other way. That is the one thing when you battle the press (as Gary Hart learned back in the day) you challenge them be prepared as they are going to come at you hard
Flynn did this to himself. he wasn’t completely honest with Pence
If this article is true then Trump should be ashamed for letting him go. Excuse me. Accepting his resignation.
I’m thinking the truth is somewhere in between.
He’s a LIAR.. Good riddance.
Allegedly...
He admitted as much in his letter of resignation. What do you mean “allegedly”?
Well, I guess the term “In like Flynn” won’t be making a come back, or will it now have a whole new meaning?

In the course of my duties as the incoming National Security Advisor, I held numerous phone calls with foreign counterparts, ministers, and ambassadors. These calls were to facilitate a smooth transition and begin to build the necessary relationships between the President, his advisors and foreign leaders, Such calls are standard practice in any transition Of this magnitude.
Unfortunately, because Of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.
Throughout my over thirty three years Of honorable military service, and my tenure as the National Security Advisor, I have always performed my duties with the utmost of integrity and honesty to those I have served, to
include the President of the United States.
I am tendering my resignation, honored to have served our nation and the American people in such a distinguished way. I am also extremely honored to have served President Trump, who in just three weeks. has reoriented American foreign policy in fundamental ways to restore America's leadership position in the world.
As I step away once again from serving my nation in this Current capacity, I wish to thank President Trump for his personal loyalty, the friendship of those who I worked with throughout the hard fought campaign, the
challenging period of transition, and during the early days of his presidency.
I know with the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and the superb team they are assembling, this team will go down in history as one of the greatest presidencies in U.S. history,
and I firmly believe the American people will be well served as they all work together to help Make America
Great Again.
Michael T. Flynn, LTG (Ret)
Assistant to the President National Security Advisor
That’s the narrative
If the FBI bugged the conversation then there is a complete transcript of who said what to who in those conversations
A man who was going to become potus national security advisor 3 weeks after obama tried to foment a strategic crisis with Russia could and should have been telling the Russians the new administration would be reviewing obamas reckless petulance
” after the inauguration we’ll have more flexibility”
For all we know Flynn may have helped avert a crisis since the Russian reaction to obamas provocation was cool and low key
they didn’t turn around and eject 35 American diplomats from Russia on 48 notice for “ spying” , close down the embassy school, padlock the U.S. embassy’s weekend dascha or slap sanctions on US businesses
For all we know Flynns doing so may have provoked the wrath of tptb that wanted to goad Putin into an aggressive response do they could ratchet up another notch and another and another
So Flynn took a hit and now they want to replace him with a chicken hawk more acceptable to Lindsey graham
You are right. Termite infestation comes to mind.
It took collusion with Pence, Priebus and Ryan to complete the deed.
Priebus can be easily replaced. Pence IMO is more of an issue. He may be all too bought in on Trump having a short time in office.
He lied to his boss. That’s a firing offense anywhere I know of.
Steve Bannon Cited Italian Thinker Who Inspired FascistsOMG, Bannon made reference to an Italian philosopher and fascist in a speech-- nothing laudatory-- and is knowledgeable. Bannon is literally worse than Hitler!By JASON HOROWITZ
FEB. 10, 2017
ROME — Those trying to divine the roots of Stephen K. Bannon’s dark and at times apocalyptic worldview have repeatedly combed over a speech that Mr. Bannon, President Trump’s ideological guru, made in 2014 to a Vatican conference, where he expounded on Islam, populism and capitalism.
But for all the examination of those remarks, a passing reference by Mr. Bannon to an esoteric Italian philosopher has gone little noticed, except perhaps by scholars and followers of the deeply taboo, Nazi-affiliated thinker, Julius Evola.
...“The fact that Bannon even knows Evola is significant,” said Mark Sedgwick, a leading scholar of Traditionalists at Aarhus University in Denmark...
“It’s the first time that an adviser to the American president knows Evola, or maybe has a Traditionalist formation,” said Gianfranco De Turris, an Evola biographer and apologist based in Rome who runs the Evola Foundation out of his apartment.

1ST IT WAS MONICA CROWLEY & NOW FLYNN!!! I'M GETTING PISSED!!!!!
I WANT THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT TRUMP BACK!!!
No matter how much of a patriot Flynn may be. He is a democrat who was placed in a position of trust and lied to his boss. We need a purge in Washington D.C. and there is simply no room for the left over plants of the previous administration.
