Pelosi and Cummings peddle fake news on Gen. Flynn

This will come as a shock, but Nancy Pelosi and Elijah Cummings want to make political hay out of the Gen. Michael Flynn affair. They want us to believe that Flynn’s conversation with the Russian ambassador is just the tip of a large iceberg of secret, nefarious communications between Team Trump and the Russkies. Never mind that there isn’t even anything nefarious about Flynn’s conversation as reported by those who offer the least innocent version of it.

Today, Pelosi and Cummings held a joint press conference, during which Cummings intoned:

Madame Leader, just this morning, Flynn tweeted that he is a ‘scapegoat.’ I believe we need to hold a public hearing with Flynn to get to the bottom of this.

Later in the day, Pelosi herself called out Flynn for the tweet.

But Flynn didn’t tweet that he is a “scapegoat.” The tweet Cummings and Pelosi cited was from a fake account.

The tweet came from the account “@GenMikeFlynn.” However, as Kyle Feldscher of the Washington Examiner points out, that’s not Flynn’s Twitter account. He had previously tweeted from @GenFlynn, which was deleted last month.

Eager to leverage the Flynn affair into something more broad and more damning, the two Democrats and their staffers apparently failed to notice the difference.

Eventually, one of Pelosi’s aides broke the bad news to her. “What do you mean it’s fake?” she reportedly responded.

He means that, once again, you’ve played the fool.

Meanwhile there is hard evidence the Democrats employed a Muslim spy ring in Washington , while top officials had been posting secrete data on yahoo mail , and routinely vehicles from the Muslim brotherhood were parked out front of the white house the last 8 years , and they think that Trumps team , without any evidence and only a month in office is a security risk?

Pelosi had side-trip meetings with Syrian leader Assad in Syria when she was traveling overseas to Europe to attend Socialist Internationale summits.

Too bad Pelosi and Cummings aren’t interesting in having hearings about Hillary giving our uranium to the Russians in return for cash to her foundation, Hillary having an illegal internet server, Hillary gaining scads of cash from countries in exchange for her influence, Hillary selling White House access as she was certain she’d be living there, and more? And, how about a hearing into Obama whispering to a Russian diplomat to tell Putin that once he’s re-elected he’d be able to further trash the USA? Okay, Pelosi and Cummings, you sleuths, how about checking on those things that compromise national security?

I think we need to let the investigation go deeper into Clinton’s emails and the Clinton foundation. Sanders new house should definitely be fair game too.

husband had surgery there he lost all interest in sex.

A hospital spokesman replied, “Your husband was admitted

for cataract surgery. All we did was correct his vision!

Everyday I check the San Antonio news to see if Rep. Joaquin Castro, and his IT Guy, Jamal Awan, Muslim spy, is mentioned.

Haven’t seen it yet. Castro is on the Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs Committees, yet it seems to be unimportant news back in SA.
