Last edited Tue Feb 14, 2017, 01:06 AM - Edit history (1)
Now being reported by CNN.
Mark me down for this - THIS is the beginning of the END.
This will go to the top and be the undoing of Trump. It may take a few months, but this will be related to the end of Trump, if not the catalyst itself.
You KNOW he was instructed by Trump. They have transcripts of the calls. Trump's decision to politicize and fuck with Langley is coming to fruit so much sooner than I thought it would.

(901 posts)Not sure where we'll end up, though. Will Pence go down, too, or will be stuck with him for the rest of the term? In any case, I feel like nearly anybody would be safer than tRump. He is emotionally unstable, vindictive, and an authoritarian. Needs to be out of the White House!

(28,339 posts)was about to lose reelection in Indiana for goodness sake. He has the personality and appeal of a bag of wet cardboard. He's not an anthrax jack-in-the-box like Trump is.
That we can deal with.

(7,006 posts)Turn Off MSNBC/Comcast Universal
Second Step: Turn on CNN as they have on the Washington Post Reporter Adam Entous that broke the story forcing Flynn to resign tonight.
MSNBC/Comcast is brought, sold and is in Cheeto's back-pocket. #FYI

Joe pivoted very quickly to "He lied to Pence".
No he didn't. Pence is in on it.

(28,339 posts)I think just the machinery of getting him out may take longer than 100 days, but you are so correct in your assessment.
He ain't havin' no fun at all.
Me.
(35,454 posts)Used to have a relative whose highest compliment in life was to say 'you're like me' and if you rec'd it, you let all other family members know. So thank you for that.
It may take longer but already the 'what did he know and when did he know it' question is being asked.

Maru Kitteh
(28,339 posts)Trump has to go. Republicans don't love him or anything. They're looking for a solid excuse to get rid of him too.

TygrBright
(20,759 posts)But I have to be honest... to me it looks more like the end of the beginning.
I think they're gonna string it out way long... more than a year, easy.
Because no one except a very small cabal of Dominionists feels easy about "President Trump."
And Paul Ryan is about as well-loved as a herpes outbreak.

(9,444 posts)"You KNOW he was instructed by Trump."
Absolutely! Trump's regime is hoping that by Flynn taking the fall there will be no more investigations. I'm hoping Flynn was just the chum and that the media sharks will taste the blood and go after the whole shitload of them! It's about time they did their frickin' job!!!

(1,103 posts)it would be the end of it and all this commotion would go away. Gangsters all. They defend each other------till one doesn't. It's coming. Not soon enough. What a wake-up call for this country!

(28,339 posts)if he had stayed with the administration he could say he wasn't able to testify because of actually still being in the administration, kind of like a threatened spouse who refuses to testify against an abuser.

(51,550 posts)Marks told Don Lemon about 15 minutes ago that he knows Flynn well, that Flynn is an "organizational man" and would not raise sanctions with the Russians on that phone call without someone high up in the Trump administration (i.e. Trump himself) telling him to do so or at least authorizing it.
