Drumpfie is an excellent judge of character, isn’t he??
It’s really hard to surround yourself with such a collection of liars and conmen.
It would have made getting his orders from Moscow much, much smoother. I mean that’s what the laughing spies said when they discussed Flynn during the election campaign. Flynn is OUR guy…and so is Trump.
Is he going to rehire Flynn and cause his government to fall on purpose?
Cell-mates.
So the Russians can’t quit Flynn and neither can Trump.
Hmmm…paging Robert Mueller…
I’m still amazed that Donnie is even capable of a first thought…
Not the brightest bulb in the faux-gold chandelier…
Uh-huh. Like he needs Flynn when between 1 and 28 other members of the WH staff are feeding in so much information it’s slowing down the KGB/FSB routers. Forget it Donald, the Song-In-Law and the others are still going down. Hard.

C’mon lets be inclusive…
collection of liars, conmen, conwomen, and Conway…
FIFY
Maybe Flynn and Trump can go around DC doing dead drops leaving each other “I miss you” messages. Does the new KGB still teach its agents that?
So when does Trump pardon Flynn?
Trump’s belief that Flynn could come back to work once the investigation is over demonstrates (confirms?) how deeply delusional and ignorant is Trump.
He’s completely out of touch with reality and even now has no idea how much trouble they all are in.
If we needed more evidence of a complete disconnection from reality.
Sick minds flow in the same stream.
What’s interesting here is exactly why this should be the case. Trump is not known for excessive loyalty. Rather, the reverse is often the case, as he has shown few qualms about throwing even long-standing associates under the bus. So why this fixation with Flynn?
It’s facile to say that it’s because he’s being blackmailed. I don’t see that, not from these reports, but I also don’t see the rationale. Thoughts?
That’s a sticky proposition. If he pardons Flynn, Flynn can still be subpoenaed and questioned under oath but he loses his Fifth Amendment rights; i.e. he has to answer every question. Such a scenario creates a hell of a lot of land mines for everyone involved.
Whether Comrade Cockholster’s legal team(s) could prevent him from pardoning Flynn anyway, of course, is another question.
I wouldn’t overanalyze this story. Trump hates to be forced by circumstances, no matter what the setting.
Maybe he liked Flynn, and Trump feels like he was manipulated into firing Flynn; consequently, today, he wants to rehire Flynn, to show his control over fate.
One more tangential and welcome outcome of Donniepalooza. I’m guessing Donnie will help them out bigly…
West Wing aides brace for big attorney bills
Longstanding conflict-of-interest restrictions limit White House employees from taking free or discounted legal advice, but aides who need lawyers have some options for getting help.
I suspect Hair Führer is also broadcasting to Flynn that he still has his back, in hopes Flynn won’t flip. He would be a devastating witness against so many people in the TrumpSphere.
I’ve been waiting for him to do the same with Manafort, who has all the inside scoop on the financial crimes; one of the places Manafort, among so many others, was laundering money was Trump Tower.
Flynn is more obsequious.
I look forward to the day when Trump is tweeting his support for former senior adviser “rhymes with Bared Tushner”.
