And this is who Trump wanted to be his national security advisor. It's no wonder the Russians were ecstatic when Trump won the election with paid whores of the Russians like Flynn in the Trump regime.

"RT, the Russian state-owned television network described by U.S. intelligence officials as “the Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet,” paid $45,386 for former Defense Intelligence Agency Director Michael Flynn to fly to Moscow to speak at its 10th anniversary celebration in December 2015, according to documents newly obtained by a congressional committee and provided to Yahoo News.

At the Russian government’s expense, Flynn — who was fired last month as President Trump’s national security adviser — was accompanied by his son, Michael Flynn Jr., on the three-day, all-expenses-paid trip, where they both stayed at the five-star Hotel Metropol in Moscow next to Red Square, according to documents obtained from Flynn’s speakers’ bureau, Leading Authorities
."

Yes, Trump should fire everyone who was int eh Obama administration. They can't be trusted to put America first.

State Owned Russian RT and the Washington Post
quote:

China, Russia Pay Washington Post To Publish Their Propaganda

Chinese and Russian propaganda supplements are regularly included in The Washington Post, but the widely read newspaper won’t say how much money it gets on the deals.

China Watch – a China Daily publication – and Russia Beyond The Headlines – a Rossiyskaya Gazeta publication – have both appeared in the Post for years as paid advertising supplements. Both foreign periodicals are owned and operated by their respective governments.

“These paid supplements have run in the paper semi-regularly for many years, and have always been clearly labeled as advertising,” Post spokeswoman Kris Coratti told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“We give advertisers wide latitude to have their say — generally if the ads are not illegal or advocating illegal actions we try not to place limits on speech or content. We have accepted the China Daily and Russia Beyond the Headlines ads for years under these standards,” Coratti said.

Oh, since Flynn was fired you seem to think this story is irrelevant?

How about Trump never should have picked this Russian shill for National Security Advisor in the first place...

Yeah, since it's a Republican administration involved, it's all just a big joke to you. Russia can hack the American election to help Trump and get some of their shills placed at the highest level of the U.S. government, just don't let it be a Democratic administration that does it...typical conservative hypocrisy.

It's less relevant than WashPo stories bought and paid for by the Russians and Chinese. Wouldn't you think??

Are you using something from 2013 to deflect away from the issue in the OP?

he was only fired for the bad press, they would have kept him around if they could have swept his behavior under the rug.

Weird--Never took Trump to be one to give a hoot about bad press.
