Yet zero’s ‘I’ll have more flexibility’ is perfectly A-OK and innocent with the RATS. Peter King interjected that hot mic a few minutes ago in FNC. Maybe that little slip might start being discussed.

I am pissed that Trump and Pence let the media railroad Flynn, and why they didn’t IMMEDIATELY announce they were searching for the leakers.

Yes I was disappointed with that too. I suppose they figured they didn't want to be bogged down with the investigation and possible hearings, but Trump didn't handle this in the way I would have prefferred. Trump needs to acquire a few intellectual conservatives with the requisite sophistication as to how things work in government to advise him, I'm not happy at all with Trumps less than ideal responses to the attacks that he's come under.

You’re called in to see the VP and he says, “I’m going before the press and I need to know if you’ve ever discussed the current sanction with a Russian rep.”

He doesn’t want a legal answer. He wants the story. Tell him the story. “We were discussing and he brought up the sanctions but we didnt get into it beyond that.”

The Left has fallen for every single other trap DJT has set for them, I don’t expect them to wise up anytime soon. Their bloodlust is that overwhelming.

He didn’t lie at all, to any degree. He spoke with Pence and gave an working overview of the discussions. Pence who opposes everything Flynn hoped to accomplish ran to the press and spoke in absolute specifics that were not true.


How to know if this is true?

Why would Trump choose a veep who opposes him?

Then they all must be ready to welcome Edward Snowden back as a hero based on this thought process. And Manning is one as well for exposing govt secrets.

You nailed it! Like Trey Goudy said, they have all this energy now because they have been on vacation for eight years.

Don’t be shocked if that happens within weeks.

The way I read this whoever leaked it and whoever reported it broke the law and should be arrested. Arrest the reporter then shake him down to find the leaker.

Why haven’t they released the transcripts if it’s so damning.

I mean whatever Flynn did has to be nothing or so spectacularly bad they CAN’T release it. I’ll bet on the former.

I hope that’s right. I hope Trump’s team is playing chess, realizing they need to first disable and dismantle the shadow government that’s thwarted the rule of law all this time.

I’ll keep praying.

They probably listen to every phone call the Russian Ambassador makes, so it wasn’t necessarily their intent to spy on Flynn. And since the total content has not been released, we don’t know what all Flynn talked about. I’d say he was a fool if he thought he could talk with a Russian Ambassador on the phone and expect privacy. That in itself shows he isn’t up to job. Yes, Hillary did a lot of things that should have been prosecuted. I want and expect a Republican administration to be much better than Hillary! Yes, I have a higher standard than that, and Flynn did harm to the president by acting like an incompetent and a liar.

The NSA has all communications. They burned Flynn's call privacy, but let Pedo Podesta operate for 8+ years. Why?

They are podesta customers, they love comet pizza.

Let see the actual transcripts of the call ... the contents of the call will or will not justify the crime of releasing the call

You cannot justify commiting a felony to expose a misdemeanor or even worce committing a felony to expose something that’s politically embarrassing but not illegal

It like torture. Torture is ia crime if it for no reason or a minor reason.. ..But torture can be justified when it’s to stop a crime greater then the torture itself

Justifiable felonies!? I guess if I ever decide to commit any that’s the defense I’ll use. Apparently that’s the category of felony Hillary commits.
