so it's up to Democrats to get to root out this national security, ant-American but pro-Putin scandal of epic proportion. Republicans are useless here--and they're proud of it.

Thinking he could skirt around any conflict of interest or treasonous shit by having someone not yet in his cabinet make the call.

He chose Flynn specifically so that Russia would be relieved that the top of our national security was on board, knowing that US intel is actually quite worried that Trump would hurt our foreign intelligence (US intel has even withheld stuff from the Trump administration for fears that some of the most important stuff could get leaked; say we have a spy at the top in Russia's government, if it was leaked, that spy is executed).

that 45 want Democrats to move along now that they've gotten rid of Flynn. But he says that Chuck Schumer will not let this go anytime soon until they can get an empeachment of 45.

shows how stupid they are, and that includes Mango Mussolini.

trump, okay, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but Flynn, wasn't he an effin' general with knowledge of intel procedures?

He had to know our intel agencies would be monitoring calls to Russian officials?

In fact he did as it's been reported that he even tried using encryption software to thwart detection.

Him and trump both need to go. trump for foolishly ordering such a thing and Flynn for going alone with it and thinking some off-the-shelf spyware would fool our intel agencies' state of the art stuff.

trump only hires the smartest people, all right .

Wish we could say the same about the deplorable voters.
