Michael Flynn Resigns as National Security Adviser
- Thread starter Spike
- Start date
Word is, this was a"soft coup" , led by former Obama loyalists in the intelligence community. This is the kind of thing that leads to armed civil war. Deeply troubling.
Funny the things that bothered them about Obama doesn't even phase them when the pisser in chief does them.
Case in point: Reich wingers claim Obama cost the taxpayers 85 million in vacations over 8 years.
Trump will be down in Mar a Lago for the third time in a month this weekend....each trip at a little over 3 million. He has cost the taxpayers a little over 10 million in about a month as POTUS.
DRAIN THAT SWAMP!
The best part for Trump is he's collecting some of that himself in fees for the gov. personnel he takes with him.
The White House is just a subsidiary h.q. for Trump inc.

Sean Spicer: Donald Trump Asked Gen. Flynn to Resign After ‘Erosion of Trust’
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at the White House that President Donald Trump asked his national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn to resign in response to an “erosion” of trust between the two. “The issue pure and simple came down to a matter of trust and the president concluded that he no longer had the trust of his national security adviser,” Spicer said during the White House press conference on Tuesday. He also revealed that there was “a series of other questionable instances” that also contributed to the erosion of the president’s trust.
Spicer said that Trump was “concerned” about Flynn after it was clear that he had misled the Vice President about phone conversations with his Russian counterparts about sanctions.
After the Justice Department notified the White House counsel that they had evidence Flynn was not telling the truth, Spicer confirmed that they investigated the legal ramifications of his actions. Spicer revealed that the Justice Department didn’t notify the administration about their knowledge of the calls until January 26, nineteen days ago.
Spicer added that Flynn’s actions were not illegal, as determined by the White House counsel, but it created what he called an “unsustainable situation.”
“That’s why the president decided to ask for his resignation, and he got it,” Spicer added.

Breitbart? Might as well ask Pravda for their perspective......oh wait....they both work for the same guy!
Bwahahahahaha! Damn this is going to ruin the oil deals Tillerson was going to make with Putin.
Id guess this was more Bush leftovers than obama ones... The bushes have always been involved in sleazy stuff in the intelligence community... and that group has long been following their own agenda regardless of presidents...

And it only took him 18 days to do it.
So in addition to being grabbed by the *****, Trump has his thumb up his ***!
Three weeks in. Oh, boy! I'm sure it's all the MSM's fault.

Oh I forgot the most important pillar of the Trump house of cards. The false equivalency. Hope you all enjoy Vodka comrades. Nice choice there.
The snowflake hysteria at fever pitch, fueled by NYT fake news. Nothing new here. Move along.

Expect more of this. The entrenched bureaucracy wants to protect their sinecures. Also the establishment on both sides of the aisle are against Trump because he is rocking the boat.

So how long can Trump be considered a political outsider and when will he be considered the "establishment". Like do you really believe this **** you spew. Government requires people to run. And the longer you are in there the better you get at stealing. He drained the swamp and filled it with Goldman Sachs and energy company guys. Wow. That is ****** amazing.

Russia did not interfere with our election. A British journalist who met the leaker described the person as a disgruntled DNC operative. The MSM has pushed the Russian Hacker narrative to cover up the fact that they are actually the propaganda arm of the DNC and Wikileaks does a better job of investigative reporting than they do.

Peter King: Leaks Against Flynn a ‘Criminal Action’
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said the leaks about the calls between Flynn and the Russian ambassador are “a criminal action.”
“You go back to the question of the leaks, that is a criminal action. I mean to have a wiretap of anyone, a foreign national, and to have an American come on that, an American citizen come on that tape, there is all sorts of precautions in the law, how that person’s identity has to be masked, how it can’t be made public. Yet, it was not only made public; it was leaked to a newspaper. So you have the national security advisor being taped. That could have been a legal wiretap aimed at the Russians. Yet, to have that leaked violating the law, it’s clearly wrong".

So just to be clear. You all keep talking about the fake news this and the fake news that. Your source for your post is Brietbart. Ok

Oh and PS. He wasn't tapped. The Russians he was talking to were. And being a career long military/ special Ops one would think he knew that. Also, the illegal hacks of democratic email. That's all good. We all have a right to know. Him talking to the Russians, after they hacked the election. Yes they hacked the election. I don't give a **** what your website says. Even ****** Trump has pretty much come to grips with that fact.

Like let's just lay it all out. The media is against him, the judicial system is called a so called judge and the intelligence community is unpatriotic. This is banana Republic strongman ****. Maybe he can send secret ninja assassins into the Phoenix Airport to poison dart McCain.

oh right, you trust CNN
CNN REPORTER ADMITS OBAMA PAID THEM TO LIE
The CNN reporter who blew the lid on this issue was none other than Amber Lyon, formerly employed by CNN and an “award winning reporter “blew the cover” on the network’s suspicious business practices.
Lyon claims that CNN “is paid by the U.S. government for reporting on some events, and not reporting on others.” Lyon also told us that the network is a tool for the Obama Administration to manipulate the information the American Public gets to see.
Lyons being interviewed by Joe Rogan about her experience reporting the 2011 Arab Spring in Bahrain
CNN told her to be quiet and not report the Bahraini government’s suppression of peaceful protests, but was forced to report complete lies.

So conservative daily post is your credible source to you. Ok. Most of my judgement of President McMahon comes from the stupid **** that flows from his own pie hole. But I suppose CNN has digitized it and has Baldwin speaking for him.

(1) What does that mean, "hacked the election"? Successfully hacked the DNC and Podesta? Yes. Hack voting machines, or votes, vote-counting? No. False. You are simply parroting a false narrative. You want Obama's spunk to taste like vanilla ice cream, and thereby insist that it does, no matter the truth.
The assessment is not about the hacking of electronic voting machines or foreign interference with the vote tally process itself.
There is no evidence at this point that the Russians “hacked the election”. To frame the report’s conclusions this way is highly misleading, and clearly ideologically-driven, since it serves the purpose of attempting to delegitimize the results of our election.
What the evidence points to is that the Russians played a role in the release of private email communications from top-level Democratic Party operatives that were politically damaging to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Again, this is not to say that foreign entities hacking U.S. political parties is not a big deal or that it should not be investigated. The point is that the current evidence for the scope of Russian interference is far more limited than the phrase “the Russians hacked the election” implies.

(2) Of course the illegal infiltration of private e-mail databases is a seriously troubling issue. Nobody on this forum has suggested that the hacking of Podesta's e-mails or the DNC e-mails was a good thing, or should not be investigated and the perpetrators punished - NOBODY.
But let's compare, shall we? In the e-mail hack, a foreign government apparently did the deed. And you frothing at the mouth at that hacking, and have no concerns about the contents of the hacked e-mails.
But the information about phone calls is leaked by our own goddamn intelligence community, not some foreign ******* power. And that release of privileged intelligence causes you literally zero concern - NONE. All you care about is content.
Do you see the patent dishonesty you are engaged in here? Do you see that being more concerned about our enemies hacking and attempting to hack our information sources should cause you VASTLY less worry than OUR OWN ******* INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DOING THE LEAKING????
