Discussion: WaPo: Trump Transition Team Warned Flynn About Contacts With Russia

2 Likes

Wait: isn’t the real story here that Flynn was warned about the US intelligence community (i.e. be careful what you say to Kislyak because it will be monitored)?

If that isn’t the story, Flynn is being hung out to dry.

The obvious truth of the matter–and for confirmation we’ll need probably full retention and disclosure of Trump campaign communications, because I don’t see Flynn flipping–is that Flynn was encouraged, i.e., authorized, by Trump to discuss terminating the Russia sanctions. Alternatively, Trump retrospectively ratified the treacherous Flynn discussions when he was briefed about them and then chose to retain Flynn and to adhere to the state of affairs produced by the discussions.

Flynn’s prior grotesque speeches about Hillary Clinton with his “call and response” of “Lock her up!” coupled with all of the revelations about him, lays his hypocrisy and corruption bare. Lock him up!

Since I doubt we’ll see this here…

The disclosure of the leaked documents just before the end of Friday means the Macron campaign will not be able to address the matter substantially Saturday. Candidates and their aides are strictly prohibited from giving interviews to the press on the day before and the day of the vote.

Despite the prohibition, Macron’s opponents quickly capitalized on the news. Florian Philippot, the National Front’s deputy leader, tweeted early Saturday: “Will #Macronleaks teach us something that investigative journalism has deliberately killed?”

Gee…WHAT WOULD BE THE ODDS of something like this happening, folks?

Given the impunity they’ve enjoyed so far, I’m more and more convinced the actual thing that got Flynn fired was leaking that thing about Trump asking whether strong currency or weak currency was the good one.

Why is it taking so long for the American criminal justice system to prosecute and bring to justice a virulent network of Russian spies who are brazenly operating from the White House to sell national security secrets and to destroy our democracy.
