I wouldn't have found this as believable until we found out that the man who was supposed to be hard on Islamic extremism, could be bought to lobby as a secret foreign agent for an increasingly Authoritarian Islamic regime moving away from secularism.

Curious they didn't think of him as an agent.
They probably knew he was already an agent for Turkey, and were getting ready to outbid his services.

How can Flynn and Trump be agents of the kremlin if this report is true?

Why would they need to try and influence Flynn if Trump was already bought and paid for?

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Right. They can say whatever they want.

The "leaks" are getting more and more convenient, too.

Hey. If he could be bought by Turkey, why wouldn't couldn't he be bought by a nation with twice the GDP?

I guess you'd have to have a hell of an imagination to make all of this Russia tripe reconcile in your head.

It still doesn't answer my question from a few posts up. If Trump was colluding with russia, or is a "putin puppet", why would russian need to influence Michael Flynn?

Hell, why rig the election at all? They had already made a nice down payment on hillary. Waste of rubles

Well I suspect that the Trump Campaign and Admin Collusion is not going to turn up anything on Trump himself.

Six investigations and a year later, that's not much of a stretch.

However, the plan isn't to find anything. The plan is to hammer him with leaks and fake news as long as possible. Maybe that's why Rosenstein said frick it and called for the SC.

Maybe, or maybe you're just comfortable speculating without any proof while criticizing a lack of proof.

Even so, what if Trump felt he could us Flynn's ties to Russia to influence them? It works both ways. Why does everyone assume influence would only go one way?






That is fricking amazing spin- "Trump didn't risk national security the press did by exposing double agent Flynn."

I mean there's spin and then there's going full Baghdad Bob.
