What is wrong with the picture of Russian lawmakers defending National Security Adviser Flynn?

Since when is who our cabinet members or high ranking advisors are to the president an issue to which Russian lawmakers need address themselves? And for that matter, get their panties in a twist about.

What could possibly go wrong here? Maybe we need to consult with the KGB or Putin to see who is appropriate.

Something very odd and untoward is going on here. It seems clear that Flynn acted on tRumps instructions, including keeping Pence out of the loop. Obviously for deniability reasons. Maybe even tRump recognizes the adage: three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. So limiting Flynn to a close circle of in the know people should send a signal to Pence, you are not in the close innner circle, which makes you a tRump punk Pence.

Wonder what's next?
