I. The Main Stream Medias Victory Lap The Deep State has done its dirty work, getting rid of Michael Flynn, the now-former national security adviser to President Trump. And so the MSM, having taken directioneven dictationfrom the Deep State, is moving in for the kill. The ultimate target, of course, is Trump himself.
The Washington Post, which has long hated Republicans, and Trump in particular, is leading the charge. On February 15, seven of the eight top stories on its online home page were anti-Flynn, anti-Trumpand, of course, pro-MSM.
Lets take a closer look: The Post seemed particularly proud of this moment-by-moment account, known in the trade as a tick-tock: Flynns swift downfall: From a phone call in the Dominican Republic to a forced resignation at the White House. And yet the Post was just getting warmed up. Heres another headline: Flynn episode darkens the cloud of Russia that hangs over Trump administration.
From there, the Post moved on to stories emphasizing what it saw as chaos in the White House: Flynn departure erupts into a full-blown crisis for the Trump White House. And the paper added this bit of ominousness: Senators from both parties pledge to deepen probe of Russia and the 2016 election. The Posts guiding idea, of course, is that responsible leaders on both sides of the aisle are horrified by Trump, and so they are contemplating appropriate action.
What sort of appropriate action? Well, for starters, it would be a thorough investigation, but, after that, maybe forced resignation or impeachment. And to that end, the Post helpfully offered its readers a guide to the hoped-for Watergate 2.0; as another headline read, Flynngate? Kremlingate? Russiagate? The gates out of the gate.

The "Swamp People" are fighting back and Trump needs to keep in mind that the best defense is a good offense -
"Unleash the dogs on The Bitch of Benghazi!
I suspect Gen. Flynn would still be at his post if he had been forthcoming with VP Pence.
Flynn did it to himself by lying to Pence.. grow a pair Flynn. Appoint someone who isn’t a liar, for starters. Clean in front of your own doorstep before going after your neighbors.
From the Benghazi hearings, I know there are some hard working, honest legislators.. Flynn had some previous Russian ties... so it was questionable from the beginning. Vet.
[I suspect Gen. Flynn would still be at his post if he had been forthcoming with VP Pence.]
Absolutely. This whole mess would have been made to look like more fake news from the media. Pres Trump would have legitimized Flynn’s convo w the Russian ambassador as the initial outreach for diplomacy.
But at the crux of this entire matter IS these leaks. We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if they weren’t happening.
Why isn’t Pence speaking for himself?
Flynn committed hari kari to protect Pence. Something still not right about this situation. I think possible he was told...or knew..not to tell pence to protect pence...once it all got out...he had to fall on sword.
I’m sure they’d love to get Bannon, but he’ll be a far harder target.
When did the NSA stop recording Pence’s phone calls?
Do you think pence is being protected by Deep State?
“Lets not kid ourselves: These anti-Trump constituencies might have lost the 2016 presidential election at the ballot box, but they dont intend to lose their power. And to that end, they have real clout, and they are using it.”
Like it or not this is the reality we have to face up to. Winning the election was only a first step, and not even the defining one.
Who is the biggest threat to the Republic, to our freedom, to the rule of law - Flynn?
Or is it an embedded, Deep State “Intelligence Community” that thinks it runs the American Government?
I have no idea. All I know is that the public story explains just about zero. Pence has certainly demonstrated that is a skillful talker.
I agree. Zero sense.
Something else going on besides flynn lied to pence.
Anything you see like this is fake news.
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman

There, fixed it.
Maybe President Donald J. Trump (ILWT) knows more that they think he knows

I agree with your post, but not sure if Flynn purposely misled Pence, or if he didn’t feel what was said to the Russian ambassador was significant in any way.
