Trumps Intelligence Director investigated for kidnapping - Just another day in Trumpland.

Just another day in Trumpland.

“Robert Mueller is looking into allegations that Michael Flynn plotted a kidnapping.There have been longstanding reports, fuelled by testimony from James Woolsey, a former Trump adviser and onetime CIA director, that Trump’s first national security advisor wanted to kidnap Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish dissident living in the United States, and return him to his native country. The story of the kidnapping plot seemed too amazing to be true, more like something a gangster would do than a high government official.

But The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Robert Mueller is now investigating these allegations...”

Allegedly, Flynn was offered fifteen million by Turkey’s government to kidnap Gülen.

Sounds like a complete fantasy, doesn’t it? I mean, if true, and there’s an excellent chance it is true, it would be as out there as the nuttiest kinds of false conspiracies, like pizzagate, which conservatives routinely assert - with ZERO corroborating evidence - Democratic politicians are involved in.
