Flynn acted on his own?

[SHRED]

That is laughable.
Repubs need to get onboard with investigations or be swept aside.
This isn't going away.

1. Sure and that's why Giuliani and Trump's tweets and everything else are all a coincidence

[pbmus]

2. Such utter bullshit..

[dchill]

3. Flynn acted on his own...

Right after he was told exactly how to act.

4. You're correct but I have a question

It is clear that the Trump for President organization, including the nominee, had a nefarious relationship with the Russian government.

Your suggestion that Republicans, presumably in the House and Senate, "need to get onboard with investigations or be swept aside" puzzles me from a practical perspective. How will they be forced to act? They have the majority in both Houses, they hold the White House and the Supreme Court is (sort-of) evenly split.

Specifically, what lever of power is available to sweep aside the Republicans in DC?

6. They are not 100% together on this

There are cracks in the armour.
Their dam is breaking open.
More and more repubs will jump on the investigation bandwagon I predict.

5. I think that is why they are overselling the "Pence was lied to" meme.

The realists among them know that Trump is going down and they are hoping to salvage some vestige of the administration. To me, they are showing us that Pence is at best too gullible, naive and willing to look the other way to be trusted with the reins of our government.

7. I agree.
