Lordy - when nobody else will touch you, you can always fall back on the family biz.
Well, corruption is seemingly a genetically based malady.
His son also falls for almost every right wing rumor out there and blurts them right back out on twitter. The investigators will have a field day going through his twitter history
I’ve always had the perception that he’s even sleazier than his daddy.
Lock… him… up…
“He also advocated a softer line towards the Kremlin, tweeting in March 2016 that ‘we have no choice when it comes to working with Russia’…”
Breaking bombshell from WaPo late this afternoon:
“A source has confirmed the existence of an audio recording from a secret meeting in June, between a Trump campaign official and unnamed political operatives, in which proposals were openly discussed to advance US national interests following a Trump victory. The White House quickly dismissed the allegation. ‘The very idea that a member of the campaign would collude in such a bizarre scheme is laughable,’ said a person close to the President. Intelligence community sources, meanwhile, speculated that a ‘lone wolf’ or ‘sleeper cell’ somehow infiltrated the Trump organization early on, bypassing campaign safeguards, and has been clandestinely operating on behalf of America ever since. ‘If true,’ remarked one Trump loyalist, ‘it would represent a historical precedent of unimaginable betrayal.’ A representative for the Mueller investigation declined the Post’s request for comment.”
But, but… What about Hillary’s fake-news new book ? !!
bypassing campaign safeguards? Would that be Keith Schiller? The man who has now left the WH?
Flynn and his son are a special kind of crazy - I understand why Trump is so fond of them. Unbelievably alarming that these kind of people were allowed to march right into seats of power in the WH - it is only luck that has mitigated the damage from the worst of the worst so far, but we are just getting started. Had Flynn not been so brazen about his bullshit, he might be presiding over some kind of insane anti-Muslim war right now.
It’s pretty scary that Flynn ever made his way into the upper echelon of the military in the first place. A sign that there are likely plenty more like him at star/flag rank or immediately below.
Flynn Sr is crooked. This little shit is just flat crazy.

[/quote]It’s unbelievably alarming that the President of the United States is so drawn to and attached to these kind of people. I mean, really…just sit back and consider any other president’s reaction to people like the Flynns and them having any kind of relationship with them. I doubt they’d even have signed their yearbook or been Facebook friends, let alone putting them in the executive administration of the country.
Um … you may want to reread that post again.
They’re both nuts. I think it’s genetic.
"Flynn got fired as head of DIA. … I asked why Flynn got fired. Abusive with staff, didn’t listen, worked against policy, bad management, etc. He has been and was right-wing nutty every [sic] since,” [Colin] Powell wrote, later wondering “how [Flynn] got that far in the Army?”

Can you imagine if Donnie had chosen Flynn as his VP? That would have been sweet!
VP ousted after less than a month.
Mikey must live at home. A news program tonight said he has an associates degree in golf course management. That’s not going to get him far in the DC job market
I am sure this will end up very nicely for the Flynns. It will give a them a great opportunity to clear their family name, which is now synonymous with quisling.
Separately, I hope Mueller and the Congress are looking closely at Gary Cohn’s activities. In looking at video from the period that Flynn was in the White House, Cohn appeared to be palling around a bit too much with Flynn.
It is now emerging that the Flynns were also trying to profit from arranging to provide a middle eastern country that is the principal funder of wahabbi sunni terrorism and ISIS worldwide with an incredible amount of nuclear fuel.
My thought exactly. Flynn would have made an excellent choice.
Don’t worry, Pence was handpicked by Vlad Putin based on his biblically-inspired track record of homophobia in Indiana.
I think he’s as sleazy as you think. I think his dad is even worse.
