Flynn’s out, but the moles are not
washingtontimes.com ^

Posted on 02/15/2017 7:22:10 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The Washington Free Beacon, a reliable internet news site, reports that the crucial back story is that Mr. Flynn’s abrupt resignation Monday night was “the culmination of a secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to handicap President Donald Trump’s national-security apparatus and preserve the nuclear deal with Iran.”

The Beacon quotes “multiple sources in and out of the [Trump] White House,” whom it does not name, who described a furtive, behind the scenes campaign of planting damaging stories about Mr. Flynn with some of the abundant correspondents who despise Mr. Trump. They’re eager to bring him down and if the national interest suffers, well, collateral damage is merely the grim reality of war.

The campaign is said to be led by Ben Rhodes, an adviser to Barack Obama when he was president and who, like the former president, is still in town to remain close to the action. The Iran nuclear deal, which was conducted in secret and whose details are still closely guarded by Mr. Obama and his friends, is regarded by the former president as the centerpiece of the “legacy” he continues to obsess over.

“They know that the number one target is Iran … [and] they all knew their sacred little agreement with Iran was going to go off the books,” a source told the Beacon. “So they got rid of Flynn before any of the [secret] agreements even surfaced.”

Mr. Flynn’s sin is great, in no small part because it cost the president a voice that was useful and needed, but the sins of his accusers are greater. President Trump has promised to reveal the carefully hidden particulars of the Iran nuclear agreement, and the time to do that may well be at hand.

Flynn did what was expected of him, to do as much damage to Trump as possible while still on the premises.

EVERY Democrat anywhere near Trump is similarly inclined.

It’s who they are, it’s what they do.

“planting damaging stories about Mr. Flynn with some of the abundant correspondents who despise Mr. Trump. They’re eager to bring him down and if the national interest suffers, well, collateral damage is merely the grim reality of war.”

What this proves to me is Trump has an agenda that terrifies the “elites” because not only does he threaten to do what he says...he DOES what he says! I cannot wait to find out who the GOP moles are and see them either fired (if Trump has power to do so), or voted OUT in the next mid-term election.

I’d bet at least $10 McCain is one of them. He’s shown himself to be little else but a traitor to the GOP and the conservatives of this nation.

So here Trump extends the olive branch to the democrats and the “dove” doesn’t pick it up and fly off, but craps on it instead.

Hopefully this is the LAST Dem Trump appoints to avoid this in the future.

“Treacherousi obamsyncophanti Undermine the national ‘garden’”

We have a mole problem (for real). Have tried everything and finally realized the only method that truly works.

First, you go outside and walk around stomping down all their little “mounds” back flat to the ground. Tedious, but necessary for this method to work.

Second, you wait for about 10-15 minutes to see if the ground starts moving anywhere. If not, simply go back inside and come back out every now and then to see if the tunneling has resumed. If so, go to #3.

Third, go inside and get a shotgun, or a revolver/pistol loaded with snake shot (2nd is my preference). Point at the end of the “tunnel” where you can tell the varment is doing it’s business...and FIRE AT WILL!

Works for us every, single time.

"The GOP still has the psychology of a minority party--loser psychology--& must free itself from this before it can free the country."

For me, the defining characteristic of a RINO is that they live in fear of the media, and always play by the media's rules. Whatever the media calls a scandal, they call a scandal. Whatever the media ignore, they ignore.

They are dutifully respectful of the media's double standards for civility, and can be counted on to do the liberals' work for them when a crisis arrives or is manufactured.

If the media goes apoplectic over this little tiff, Trump might as well go for “shock and awe” and do everything he can to disrupt these agencies and ‘round up” (i.e. prosecutions, firings) the traitors.

The best time to strike is during a crisis of course.

Bathhouse Barry is likely involved in any vendetta against Flynn because Dem Flynn dared express dissent against The Messiah when he, Flynn, was a military intelligence officer.

Why do you believe that Flynn is a villain in this? His party registration? We have far worse enemies in GOPe.

"The (deep state) is eager to bring him down and if the national interest suffers, well, collateral damage is merely the grim reality of war."

Exactly, so why all the butt hurt on the right? Did everyone really expect the deep state to simply give up and concede after the election?

Consider Trump's election as a parallel to Saratoga, Manassas or Midway. Rather than conclusive deciding events in their own rights, they were in actually simply key turning points.

The enemy has been signaling its intent all along. Now it has revealed its hand via the tactics they are employing. I expect Trump to both simultaneously mount an effective parry as well as launch a counter attack.

But this complaining on the right has really got to go - it's both demeaning and pathetic.

The Iran nuclear deal . . . is regarded by the former president as the centerpiece of the “legacy” he continues to obsess over. . . . President Trump has promised to reveal the carefully hidden particulars of the Iran nuclear agreement, and the time to do that may well be at hand.

The time is at hand. If the Obama Minions are so focused on the Iran deal, exposing that deal is certainly vital to national security. President Trump should release the details almost immediately.

I want all harmful parts of Obama's legacy completely erased, and the obsession over the Iran deal is strong evidence that it has to be exposed and then eliminated.
