Supposedly he spoke to some of his Russian contacts about sanctions before he was actually appointed to a position of power and several weeks before the inauguration.

Vice President Pence believed at the time that Flynn was not truthful about his discussions. Apparently the White House got a hold of the transcripts from the calls today and now he's "flushed" out.

He flat out lied to the Trump transition team and the White House.

Before being sworn in he had some communication with Russian agents about things like the economic sanctions. That is frowned on as the Obama administration was still in office. Flynn lied to Pence about having that call. Pence don't play like that.

Yep.

Which is why Flynn gots to go.

The big question is how much did Trump know?

Like Trump did when he said he would release his taxes.

Like Hilliary did about her email.

Why is Flynn any different?

Y'all dumb as hell if you think Trump didn't know/encourage Flynn to make this contact a long time ago.

But then again y'all elected the host of NBC's The Apprentice to be president.

So he's a liar and a moron. Good on Trump and Pence letting him hit the bricks.

Serious breach in protocol, then lied about it to Pence and the administration.

Y'all dumb as hell to make stupid assumptions like that and then parade it as an absolute truth.

Thank God for that. God help us all if we had an incompetent Clinton admin in the White House right now.

He "inadvertently briefed the vice president with incomplete information "

That's what he reported.

This should help Trumps approval #'s move into the mid 30's.

What Nixon did prior to the 68 election was far worse. Halderman's notes have been found to reveal that Nixon was tampering with the Viet Nam peace talks while still a private citizen, so that he could win the election. LBJ suspected it but couldn't prove it. The truth is out now. Essentially it was treason.

The White House was alerted of this by the justice department a month ago. They've known about it.

I think this reflects the trust and respect Trump has for Pence.


I think the whole thing reflects the incompetence of the people Trump hires. In the business world, if someone gets fired a month into their job, it's equally reflective of that person's character as it is of the judgment from the person that hired them.

Of course this board will make Trump out to be a hero in all of this. Sad!

Uh....Flynn definitely made a serious error here, but his credentials fit the job (other than being a Democrat in a Republican administration).
