Appreciate your insight, but it’s not entirely correct. I’ve worked in and with the Intelligence Community for over 40 years, I’ve known Mike Flynn for 23 years (I was his instructor at one point in his career), I know a fair number of his detractors and I worked in the White House (Homeland Security and National Security Council Staffs) for 15 months after 9/11. I still work very closely with several different agencies in the Intelligence Community, albeit in a different capacity (consulting) than I did previously. So yes, I do have at least a little more insight into what’s going on than the average person.

I would refer you to the following, obviously unclassified articles for some insight into Flynn’s conversation with Ambassador Kislyak and who Mike’s and Trump’s enemies are:

Mike Hayden, mentioned prominently in the second article is a devout #NEVERTRUMPer, was a hyper-political Air Force general officer and a pompous ass, who assumes he knows everything about Islam and counterterrorism by virtue of his rank, despite the fact that his operational intelligence experience was very limited.

Thank you for those links.

Let's first remember, The Hill has reduced itself to more of a gossip rag than a news source, although Joe Concha is likely their most honest and sane writer.

Roger Stone is way out all by himself on a lonely limb with his scurrilous tweet.

You could have made your point or points more simply, without the self-glorification (if it is true).

Your post about “Mike” reeks of confusion mongering, and if you had anything to do with American intelligence we all should be worried.

Who friends and enemies are is irrelevant. There is only one issue: Flynn violated the cardinal rule by losing Trump’s trust. This means, knowing Steve Bannon as I do, he lost Bannon’s trust.

That’s all I need to know.
