After Mr. Flynn’s dismissal, Mr. Trump tried to get James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, to drop the investigation — an act that some legal experts say is grounds for an investigation of Mr. Trump for possible obstruction of justice. He fired Mr. Comey on May 9.

Dude, you've posted here too long to post blind links. Have a downvote.

To be fair, the link is well described in the title. Wouldn't call it "blind."

I'm not sure how anyone could be confused by what we in that link. If it'd have been shirtless Putin on a horse pics, I'd be pissed, and would agree with him.

Honestly, what's the difference between linking a NYT, WaPo or CNN versus a Breitbart, Info or Fox News. Don't tell me that the former has any credibility.

They all have agenda's and clearly NYT and WaPo have been wrong as much lately as they have been right.

This story may or may not have legs, but this has become as much about throwing it against the wall to see what sticks as it has to do with verifiable journalism/reporting.

Until NYT or WaPo devote 100% of their effort for a month toward winning a GOP congressional primary in Wisconsin, I'm going to give them more benefit of the doubt than Breitbart.

But yes, you're quite welcome and encouraged to question those entities.

Wait I just saw you tried to sneak in fricking InfoWars

I take it back and I regret my civil tone in this post

Michael T. Flynn told President Trump’s transition team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for Turkey during the campaign,
How could they overlook that? It's directly related to his job, and the access it entails.

Furthermore, if his request to Comey included this investigation, then why would Trump make a request regarding this since it began before he took office? Because it would make the pick look incompetent? Well if that was the case, it looks incompetent AND potentially corrupt.

It has credibility. Acting like it doesn't is ignorant, whether due to willfulness or a lack of critical thinking.
