Lawmakers Say It Appears Michael Flynn Acted Illegally In Taking Russian Payments
 

Michael Flynn May Have Broken The Law In Taking Russian Payments, Lawmakers Say : The Two-Way : NPR

And this guy is who Trump picked to head the NSA....who does the vetting of the cabinet picks?

He's no longer IN that position.

What about Secretary of State? Are THEY allowed to profit from foreign dealings? You would have elected her as PRESIDENT...

WHO DOES THE VETTING OF Democratic PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?

Even curious how the transition team vetted him before allowing him to begin contacting foreign governments ? Discussing plans ?

Same comm that makes this claim would like a record of his contacts and phone calls for that time.

Sean Spicer intimated today that was too much work.

And thanks to WJ BOYER for his thread title.

Earlier this subject was covered by a thread title And OP "the left is saying that Flynn may have broken the law" OF COURSE the OP neglected to mention the REPUBLICAN head of the comm who had the presser. Wonder how this info gets filters, and from where ??

HOW QUCKLY DEMOCRATS FORGET! How many years did Michael Flynn work under Obama? Flynn learned from the Obama Administration who was above the law, got away with every wrongful act they committed, and obviously thought he could do so under Trump. WRONG! Too bad it wasn't caught during the vetting process. The swamp is slowly being drained, and without the help of the media.

President Obama FIRED Flynn, not from the WH but the military.

Sorry, you probably knew that but forgot

PS....he never worked in the White House and was fired for insubordination and for being chaotic

Nice try at deflection!

How about vetting of Republican PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I hate BOTH sides, they're BOTH liars and thieves...every one of them.

That might be a little harsh but I was wondering why Turkey would pay him half a million dollars? You don't supposed they were trying to buy some USA financial assistance?

They paid for information...

As much as could be had.

I wonder how a poster started a thread claiming "the left" was responsible for accusing him, or raising the issue.

Ther must be a few different sources of news here...one actual, and the other seems like an alternate reality, oh.....and those on the ALTERNATE REALITY news are always right. Never ever heard them admit error.

Us "lesser folks" need to listen.

Wow Rockface is shocked with this news...COPUFF is shocked with this news...I guess it would really be shocking if the guy was still part of the WH team. But he is not, and has not been for a while.

So I guess they are shocked that Trump discovered the guy was not up to his standards and cut him loose.

And so they are just shocked...

The ALTERNATE REALITY news is many times...whatever the mainstream media is feeding us. And that's a fact...I know for sure. Most "news" is propaganda.

Attachment 68075ACTUALLY....both the Republican and the Democrat in the House Oversight committee agreed that Flynn's actions did not abide by the law...it was not the MEDIA, but the media did report it....

Nice try to deflect....

You again?

ACTUALLY my reply was to this:

So how about following the discussion a little better...

Perhaps you should follow the discussion better yourself. Perhaps you "lesser folks" need to learn to read.....

Sean Spicer:FLYNN WAS OBAMA'S FAULT
 

By Jameson Parker on April 27, 2017 2:49 pm ·

With questions mounting, Sean Spicer finally found an answer as to why Donald Trump hired known foreign agent and possible criminal Michael Flynn to be his National Security Advisor: It’s Obama’s fault.

The Trump White House came up with their excuse seemingly overnight. Prior to Spicer’s comments, the administration flailed for months. Meanwhile, Flynn’s actions and Trump’s cover up of them have swelled into a firestorm. Reporters have discovered that the now-fired Flynn was working for the Turkish government while on Trump’s campaign, that Flynn told Trump’s team that he was engaged in this illegal activity, and that the Pentagon had warned Flynn to cut it out as early as 2014.

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was warned by the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 against accepting foreign payments as he entered retirement, according to new documents obtained by the House oversight committee.

The inspector general of the Department of Defense also opened an investigation of Flynn earlier this month, according to an April 11 letter released by the oversight committee Thursday.
A final nail in Flynn’s coffin when it was learned that he was also accepting money from RT, the state-sponsored television station which largely operates as a propaganda tool for the Russian government. Flynn hid these payments, adding an additional level of wrongdoing.

None of which stopped Trump from hiring Flynn as his top military advisor, defending him for weeks, then ultimately saying he didn’t think Flynn had done anything wrong despite his resignation. Trump, who once boasted that he only hired the best people, has predictably decided to blame Obama rather than accept responsibility. A sad pattern that he leans on for many of his failings.

General Flynn was a career military officer who maintained a high level security clearance throughout his career in the military. His clearance was last reissued by the Obama administration in 2016 with full knowledge of his activities.

Spicer overlooks the fact that the military actually forced Flynn out in disgrace that same year for being “disruptive” and a warmonger who didn’t listen to his superiors. He also overlooks that Trump, who by then knew of Flynn’s history, decided to hire him as a full-time surrogate for his campaign, host him at the RNC (where Flynn led “lock her up” chants), then promoted him to National Security Advisor once elected.

Trump is a natural born scam artist but this desperate stab at passing the buck will be a hard sell even to his most ardent supporters.

3 Bombshell Documents Showing That Trump WH Committed Crimes
 

By Jason Easley on Thu, Apr 27th, 2017 at 11:30 am

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released three documents that show that Mike Flynn committed crimes while serving in the Trump administration and that the White House is engaging in a cover-up of those crimes.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released three documents that show that Mike Flynn committed crimes while serving in the Trump administration and that the White House is engaging in a cover-up of those crimes.

While meeting with reporters, Rep. Cummings said, “I watched Sean Spicer make all kinds of excuses about how hard it would be to comply with our requests. Come on man. General Flynn served in his position for twenty-four days, so that excuse from the White House will not fly. I honestly don’t understand why the White House is covering up for Michael Flynn. I don’t get it. After the president fired him for lying. So the president fired him for lying about having communications with the Russian ambassador. They should be bending over backwards to help us. It does not make any sense, and it makes the American people think that the White House has something to hide.”

Sen. Blumenthal said, “The evidence that Rep. Cummings just outlined is powerful, mounting, incontrovertible evidence that there has been a violation of criminal law.”

Blumenthal said that these crimes must be investigated and prosecuted but stressed that that investigation must come from a special prosecutor because the Trump Justice Department can’t be trusted to carry out the investigation and prosecution.

The White House is constantly trying to change the subject. They want to talk about health care. They want to talk about tax reform. They want to talk about North Korea, but the national discussion always keeps returning to the same topic of Russia.

Republicans are trying to sandbag the investigation, but new information continues to be revealed, and each revelation brings more crisis to a failing White House that is in total turmoil.

Hey fvck head...there is a copy and paste rule at the top of this forum
If you would like to suggest we read something just post the link. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE PARAGRAPHS OF $HIT SOME OTHER IDIOT WROTE!
