Michael Flynn was fired for misleading VP Pence regarding his conversation with the Russian ambassador. Flynn served as director of U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama. He was ousted in 2014. He criticized Obama's strategy on terrorism and implied that that was the reason he was fired. Obama supporters claim that Flynn was abrasive to others and was not a team player. The fact that he criticized Obama probably helped him get the job in Trump's administration. But it looks like he is a liability just as he was with Obama.
There is also the question of why he sat next to Putin at a dinner for RT, the Russian propaganda network. Given that Trump's admiration and defense of Putin, I wonder if there is more problems and conflicts besides Flynn in the administration. Now it appears that the DOJ had warned Trump about Flynn 18 days ago. So is Trump also trying to hide something from his own VP?
From the previous blog: I know I am being dramatic when I say 20,00 people killed by people with guns. I know that even if guns are totally banned, there will be people killed by illegally obtain guns and other weapons. But even if we discount all the killings by criminals and gangs, we still have a lot more killings by guns than most other countries that have strict gun laws. Guns make it easier for mass killings, road rage killings, killings of passion, killings by accidents etc. I don't think Zimmerman would approach Martin if he was not carrying a gun. To believe that guns are not the major reasons for killings in this country, one would have to believe that we are a country of higher percentage of criminals and people with mental problems than other countries.

Well, it'll be interesting to see if anything comes out of this. It sounds like people from his campaign did contact Russia, but I am not confident that there will be big punishments. Especially from the top. Do you think a rumor like this is worse than Clinton's emails or on the same level?
ReplyDeleteHad this information come out before the election, I don't know if it would have made much of a difference. I contend that people who voted for him would have done so, no matter what.

Unless there is solid proof, I doubt that anyone, even Trump, would sell their soul to the Russians for the election. But if true it is a lot worse than Clinton's email or Benghazi. In those instances Clinton's fault is just sloppiness or at worse some lying. But if they worked with the Russians, then it is almost treason. But I watched parts of Fox News last night just to see how they defend this. And they are all over who leaked this. Well, they didn't worry about who leaked or who hacked Clinton! Since they relentlessly attacked Clinton even when the FBI said there was no crime that can be charged, I would expect the Democrats to keep attacking this even if it can't be proved that they worked with the Russians. I agree that most people who voted for Trump would have done so even without Clinton's FBI problem right before the election. But there may have been some independents who didn't decide till the last week. Given how close the election was, who knows. So if Trump was accused of working with the Russians before the election, who knows?
