Donald Trump Says Michael Flynn’s Scandal Is Less Important Than Who Leaked It

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-michael-flynn-resigns_us_58a2d325e4b094a129ee79a5?

President Donald Trump responded Tuesday to the resignation of his embattled national security adviser by saying that “the real story” is who leaked information about him to the press.

Trump’s attitude toward Russia has also come under scrutiny, particularly in the wake of revelations that Russian President Vladimir Putin likely ordered his intelligence agencies to hack the U.S. presidential election. Trump has shied away from blaming Russia for hacking Democrats. The U.S. president also recently defended Putin over the alleged murders of his political opponents, saying, “we’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?”

1. Useful idiot

[lapfog_1]

2. worse than Nixon

[yellowcanine]

3. Trump has denial down to an art form.

He conducts a briefing on the N.K. missile launch in a public dining room and he wonders why things are leaking?

[yallerdawg]

4. In other words, time for a distracting "crisis"!

"Bush 3.0"?

[smirkymonkey]

5. God, he's an absolute disaster.

Keep him far away from anything having to do with North Korea!

[Botany]

6. So the problem is N. Korea and not Russia rigging our elections in collusion with the ...

... the Trump campaign and the republicans (Mitch McConnell & Paul Ryan I'm looking
@ you).

The real story = The Russians were way deep into our elections.

An example of just how deep the Russian hacking was into the election ..... they were
into the county level in Wisconsin and they were messing with down ticket races too.

7. Well, he WOULD, wouldn't he . .

He isn't NEARLY as good at lying as he thinks he is.

8. Said the man who conducted national security business in the middle of a hotel dining room.

9. They probably happen over dinner

Sound familiar?

[itcfish]

10. Who leaked it?

Ahh maybe the 17 US intelligence agencies who are actually scared that the gang in the WH are compromising our security????

11. "Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?"

Well, yeah, shit for brains, if you continue to hold what should be deemed classified conversations in unsecured settings, with multiple people using unsecured cell phones to provide lighting to your stupid ass.

The incompetence of this moron is mind-numbing!

12. Can't wait to see what happens when he tells North Korea he's sending in troops

On second thought, I can wait.

13. Trump: Wikileaks. I love Wikileaks

Trump mentioned Wikileaks 164 times in last month of election, now claims it didn’t impact one voter

"Boy, that Wikileaks has done a job on her, hasn’t it?”
Trump to Bill O’Reilly: “Wikileaks is amazing”
Trump: “You see so much from these Wikileaks. You see so much. There’s so much.”
Trump: “I’ll tell you this Wikileaks stuff is unbelievable…you gotta read it.”
Trump: “You hear this? Wikileaks. Big stuff but the press does not report it”

etc etc

14. So this is it ...

[BumRushDaShow]

15. "Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?"

Like THIS while you were "deal(ing) on N.Korea, etc"????

[procon]

16. And now that it's out, the cover up is more important than who leaked it. nt

[nolabear]

17. May this drive him insane-er.

He's paranoid as hell anyway. He's going to take more propping up than they can manage after a while.

Worry about the GOP pillaging as fast as they can while this is going on.

[spinbaby]

18. And he got that right from Fox

I flipped on Fox Noise this morning just to see what their spin on the Russian connections was. They were all about, "OMG the leaks!" 20 minutes later, we get the leaks tweet.

19. His supporters are stupid and he knows it

His tweets are insane to any person with half a brain.
