TPM - "Trump And The White House Aren't On The Same Page On Flynn's Ouster" (more WTF)
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/trump-administration-does-verbal-gymnastics-defending-michael-flynn-resignationBy ESME CRIBB Published FEBRUARY 15, 2017, 3:06 PM EDT
Since former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned from his position late Monday, members of President Donald Trump's administration have given multiple explanations — some directly contradicting each other — for his ouster.
Trump and his top staffers left a number of key questions unanswered, including whether the President trusted Flynn, who was behind Flynn's resignation, why it happened when it did or who was ultimately at fault.
On Wednesday, Trump launched a broadside against one of his favorite targets: the media.
He called Flynn "a wonderful man" during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and blamed the press for treating Flynn "so badly."
"I think he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media, as I call it the fake media, in many cases, and I think it is really a sad thing he was treated so badly," the President said. "I think that it is very, very unfair what's happened to General Flynn."
