DogofWar1 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Take with a grain of salt for the time being until we get more sources on this, but Flynn flipping almost certainly means that whatever is there to get will be gotten. FBI flips people into cooperating witnesses usually only when there are bigger fish to fry. Flynn was NSA. Only bigger fish is the Orange man himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the CNN report, the smoking gun is that Trump (or his associates) coordinated with the Russians/wikileaks to release those DNC emails. Not merely took advantage of an opportunity, but actively participated. That's the smoking gun. Edited March 25, 2017 by BRAVEONAWARPATH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Presidential campaign worked with somebody else, to coordinate a message. That's major? If the "somebody else" had been Fox News, or the NRA, or KochPAC, or Michael Moore, would that be a scandal?

IF true, a foreign government through proxies (wikileaks etc) hacked into the DNC/RNC computers and released info with the intent to influence our elections. Seems like a scandal to me.

Jumbo Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 woolsey and some reporter from other media doing the story on flynn that broke yesterday and persuaded woolsey to go public, did their first tv int on cnn last night...watching woolsey when he was appearing during the transition as a talking head was always fun for me...very serious can't set him up precise won't play games kind of guy...anyway, this was about him being there at the meeting where flynn was discussing "transporting that dude" (the turkish connection) out of the country...reads like one of the events caught up in surveillance and people are going to start getting concerned about their well-being and dropping dimes to whatever extent they are there to drop (and i think you'll hear a fair amount of change rattle over the next few months, if not sooner, or real soon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Trump campaign struck a deal with Russia to release damaging info during the election in exchange for policy leniency, what about that isn't major? Is this a trick question? I did notice Flynn's name was noticeably absent from the Stone/Page/Manafort group that seem so eager to set the record straight.

Captain Wiggles Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) @Jumbo That Woolsey CNN interview was painful to watch. Definitely doing his best to cover his own ass now. The fact he was letting the WSJ reporter do a lot the talking for him was quite telling. Edited March 25, 2017 by clietas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather it come out that there was no collusion. I think that would be better for our nation, regardless of how Trump's stint in office turns out. I know we both enjoy listening to Bernstein, and I thought it was interesting how he compared our government back when Nixon was in office to the Congress of today. He said they unanimously wanted to investigate Nixon and we don't have that sort of cooperation between parties today. In my opinion, our inability to work together is our biggest problem. Passing laws without bipartisan support is not a sustainable model. Edited March 25, 2017 by AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I am hoping this blows up and takes out substantial numbers of the current players, so that they are replaced with people more inclined to serve the nation before themselves. Call it a morality play, a comic tragedy, a serious lesson on how NOT to run the ****ing country but in the end, a wake up call to shock everyone out of their torpor, pop all the bubbles, reduce everyone to just people, survivors sitting in the rubble that remember why we worked together to build this nation. But I'm a dreamer..................(****! no Donny, not one of those "dreamers", you don't need to send ICE to my door..................) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm not sure I want Trump to go. Part of me thinks that his 9 to 5 work ethic and his political incompetence and his banana republic cronyism and his reality show system of playing subordinates off against each other might actually reduce the damage that the GOP can do to this country.
