A sitting PRESIDENT told the incoming part-time amateur specifically that Flynn was dirty.

[elehhhhna]

They only met for two hours.

Think about this for a minute.






Now I wish he'd also said "don't hire Joe Biden" ... maybe we wouldn't be in this shit storm.

1. Elaborate

Please?

2. Obama specifically told Trump that Flynn was not to be dealt with

That came out this morning check DU

Trump was warned.

Somewhat like Bill Clinton telling George W. Bush that Osama bin Laden was going to be a big fucking problem.

3. All trump cared about was that flynn was loyal, campaigned for him and blew smoke up his ass.

Obama was ignored.

4. I think that is specifically why the Trump Campaign, and later the Admin, had Flynn on staff. It

seems me that hating President Obama was a requirement to work for Trump.

5. Trump ignored all warnings because he needed Flynn to maintain the back channel with Russia

It wouldn't have fucking mattered if Ivanka had said
"Oh no daddy please don't hire Flynn"

Trump had offered his little quid pro quo and
Russia took him up on it...

He probably thought he would be able to bail on his end of the deal by either
not getting elected
Or worst case he could
blame Democracy for preventing him from following thru
After all he would be safe over here on a different continent, right?


Then he probably got the rude awakening that he was not alone, here in North America, and that he would be held to his word...
with a little help from some highly recommended professionals who would be nearby at all times....

45 knew exactly what was taking place w/Flynn
And that's precisely why he chose Flynn

he ignored all the warnings ...
because
they were not telling him anything he did not already know ...

6. I'll tell ya.. this sounds like the most likely thing.

Occam's razor applies.
