“Why would you re-run a background check on someone who is the head of the Department of the Defense Intelligence Agency that had and did maintain a high-level security clearance?”

I’ll tell you why. Because he wasn’t the head of the Department of the Defense Intelligence Agency when he was asked to join Chiselin’ Trump’s campaign, you goddamn, lying twit! Flynn resigned (effectively, was fired) from that post in 2014. He was asked to join Chiselin’ Trump’s campaign in 2016.

Up is down. Down is up. Everyday is freaking opposite day. Having such tiny little hands must make it easier to sleep at night. I am exhausted.

Working in the White House must be akin to refereeing a slumber party of entitled 13 year old girls.

Rachel Maddow already explored the issue of the process of hiring and getting security clearances to new staff. Nooooo, you don’t continue your security clearance and move it to a new agency intact. The new agency may continue a lower security clearance for you but must investigate on its own and make a determination as to whether some higher-level clearance is merited. In the relevant period., Flynn went to Russia, posed with Vladimir Putin, took lots of money without any authorization, acted as a foreign agent without filing for such status, and all of that would have come out when the new agency was updating the status of the security clearance. The new agency would have given Flynn forms to fill out for him to apply. That is what the intelligence committee has been asking for and what has been refused. Where are those application documents and why will the Trump administrators not produce them??

Obama really liked the ACA Health plan, too. So let’s keep that sound and solid, okay?

Where’s the “Memo” part of the “Talking Points”?

This is just straight Republican talking points. How about some reporting?

I know a lot of “Livewire” is coverage of cable news, a second-hand account of what everyone could have watched on TV themselves.

So how about providing information the cable channels leave out?

The Trump administration has already provided the public with more information about Flynn than all previous Presidents combined!

Nothing is ever their fault.

One thing Democrats have not done, or not done effectively, is to attack Trump as a wuss who lacks the backbone to stand up and take it.
