Democrats demand that Flynn’s resignation spur broader Russia investigation

Democrats hold no levers of power in Washington, but they have pulled out their megaphones to demand that Mr. Flynn’s resignation open the first chapter — not the last — of investigations into contacts between Trump aides and Moscow — during and after Mr. Trump’s campaign for president.

“Nothing about this resignation, or resignations that could occur in the future, precludes the Senate Intelligence Committee from continuing to investigate Gen. Flynn, or any other campaign official who may have had inappropriate and improper contacts with Russian officials prior to the election,” said Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It is clear that our task is more urgent than ever.”

Senator Warner why don't you show us your evidence about Russia

Quite frankly you had months to leak and the best you could come up was a "fake dossier " from Mc Cain

I understand, from a management perspective, why Trump would want Flynn to resign if Flynn lied in any way to Pence or Trump. I get that.

On the political side, the Left will never back down and will never compromise, and will never take a reasonable position. They will go in 100% against everyone on Trump’s team before, during and after their selection and before, during and after any hint of scandal. They will never let anything go.

Which is why, short of lying to the Boss, I think Trump should fully support everyone on his team and not give a damn what “the optics” are.

An Executive Order is in order.

“There will be no investigation, Congessional or otherwise into the Gen. Flynn matter. It is an obvious Witch Hunt.”

Or just a Tweet.

The same Rats who refuse to investigate voter fraud, in spite of the fact that unlike all this Russian stuff there’s actual evidence of voter fraud. Those Rats and the GOPe curs who collaborate with them deserve no better than a middle finger. Funny though, the Rats don’t even want to discuss Mexico’s brazen meddling with US elections.

I would like to see Jesse Watters do a segment asking the leftist on the street what happens if they are successful in “overturning” election.

Odds are 9 out of 10 would say Hillary would be President.

“Democrats hold no levers of power in Washington”

Article should have ended there.

Seems to me that a problem was revealed and action was taken.

Perhaps the Dems are actually saying, literally, “How did they do that so fast?”

WHAT DID OBAMA AND HILLARY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?

Where was President Obama the night of the Benghazi Attacks?

Why wasn't he on the job?

Was he upstairs stoned out of his mind again?

The left in America hates Putin because he supports Christianity and refuses to allow Muslims to immigrate to Russia. His position riles them because he has stated Russia is a Christian nation and will stay that way. A perfect model for Trump to follow. His position just drives the left crazy. Putin and Russia are no threat to the West. In fact they are just about the only allies we have left in the WOT.

I agree. This has just given them more fodder. The blood is in the water.
