You are up to date on current events, unlike some others here. You know by now that they set up Flynn because Obama didn't like him and wanted to use him to get Trump. We now know this started in December, right after the surprise victory by Trump which infuriated Obama, Clinton AND the FBI. In spite of the fact that Comey is a Republican (allegedly) he hated Trump. His wife and he were talking about how exciting it was going to be to have the first female president and she and their daughter actively campaigned for her. When she lost bigly, the ploy was hatched. Start by using Flynn to get to Trump Comey knows the clock is ticking and he interviews Flynn for an "informal" discussion just to get him to lie and get him fired using some obscure law dating back to 1799! Like the mafia, they threatened to get his son if he didn't play ball. We know the rest. YOU know the rest.
Did he lie? Maybe. It was supposed to be an informal talk. Not an inquisition. He was set to take over in a few weeks. He had to lay groundwork like others before him.
This is the Trumpster version. Most of which is deliberately misleading or completely false.
The events that Flynn would later lie about all occurred AFTER the Presidential election. So, hatching a plot to get Flynn fired for something he hadn’t done yet is a remarkable feat of clairvoyance.
One that only Trumpsters can appreciate.
Not that it matters. Even if this idiotic construct were remotely true, Flynn was dumb enough to plot with the Russian FSB on an open line. He was the fired head of the DIA. He should have known that there was a probability that the Ambassadors line was tapped. And he would also have known better than act as a paid agent of a foreign country while simultaneously serving as National Security Advisor.
Flynn has a reputation in Washington as a loose cannon, the kind that hangs around with shadowy right wingers and professional sleeze like Eric Prince.
He was just the first in a parade of wannabe international men of mystery, that Trump would have running around doing his off the books side deals.
Nearly all of them made fools of themselves or got caught.
Flynn was first in the public eye.
George Papadopolous, who was dumb enough to boast about his exploits on a bar stool.
Or bag men like Gordon Sondland, Eliot Broidy and Carter Page.
And theres Crazy Uncle Rudy!
Even know, the Trump team almost certainly has some sort of side deal(s) theyre plotting. At this point, I suspect that most of them involve real estate.
No one outside the US takes Trump seriously as a President. Its all about the kickbacks, side deals, and soft landings.
