Otherwise, this Administration, which knew for WEEKS that Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail because of his lies to the Vice President, apparently would have kept him in office anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to see the transcripts to say the value, one person that has said there was nothing there. If true that makes it political instead.....which can be problematic.

Given past relationship of Flynn, Manafort and other members of Trump's team to Moscow... saying you MAY be right is giving a ton of benefit of the doubt. In fact, a ton is too light.

Jumbo Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 The gopers keep bypassing the topic of how much of the overall leaking comes out of the wildly loose (security-wise) WHGOT wars and will dump it all on the intel community. And yes, likely Bannon has a major hand in this as part of the plan (arising from a very strong desire) to revamp the intel community, but even if not, the WH as a source of leaks is a big deal in dealing legitimately with the issue, but getting zero attention from the gop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'd be more open to the stuff flying out of the Trump administration if it wasn't self contradictory. Are the leaks fake news or real and classified, Donald? Can't be both. If it's the former, why would you fire Flynn? Which further begs the question, Flynn supposedly resigned, but Spicer just said Trump fired him. So which is THAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
