F.B.I. agents interviewed Michael T. Flynn when he was national security adviser in the first days of the Trump administration about his conversations with the Russian ambassador, current and former officials said on Tuesday.

The interview raises the stakes of what so far has been a political scandal that cost Mr. Flynn his job. If he was not entirely honest with the F.B.I., it could expose Mr. Flynn to a felony charge. President Trump asked for Mr. Flynn’s resignation on Monday night.
Wonder if Comey will hold a press conference about the decision whether or not to press charges

I read Flynn's book and he blamed Russia for many things, from helping Iran in their pursuits to even housing terrorists in their annexed parts. He viewed them the worst out of any other topic he discussed besides terrorism.

ETA: he hates Iran extremely as well, from them sending troops to fight in Iraq to being the largest sponsor of terrorism of Earth.

On Tuesday, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said that President Trump was made aware of the situation weeks ago. Mr. Spicer said the White House had reviewed the situation and determined that Mr. Flynn didn’t violate any laws during his call with the Russian ambassador.

Mr. Spicer said Mr. Flynn was asked to resign because he had lost the trust of the president and vice president.


Trump knows about Flynn's call for weeks, Trump knew Flynn had lied to Pence for weeks, Trump is fine with everything, then, out of the ****ing blue, Trump just loses trust in Flynn?!?

Trump discovered Flynn lied to the FBI which = felony. Now, the investigation is coming that will bring us one step closer to seeing the Russian financial ties reflected in the tax returns Trump is hiding.

If Flynn lied to the FBI, that is a felony. This is the only explanation for Trump's 180 and the firing of Flynn.

It is more likely that you diddle kids than Trump has Russian financial ties in his taxes.

No modern day president has ever:
- snuggled up this close to Russia
- refused to release his taxes


Methinks you are allowing partisanship to blind you from the obvious.

No modern day president has ever not been a politician. Trump's tax returns aren't structured like your normal politician's would be( being a billionaire, you know he has a ton of things to deal with financially in the first place). He is a business guy who maybe didn't even pay much income tax through legal loopholes.

You can speculate all you want that his tax returns consist of but it does not make you in anyway right.

No president we've ever had in Obama has ever given Iran nuclear capabilities and billions of dollars, with 400 million in ransom.

I think your partisanship is blinding you my friend, and it's projection. A term that the left should be plenty accustomed to.

political scandal




We've gone from completely ignoring and deflecting about Benghazi to a phone call being a scandal. Deranged.

If he was interviewed by the FBI a month ago and no charges were filed yet he probably didnt lie nor do anything wrong. I mean Jeez they know what they guy said from the wire tap. If it was that damning of evidence the shite would have hit the fan weeks ago.

Just what I was thinking. Not illegal to lie to the FBI unless there's some special rule around national security. It's illegal to lie under oath or in a sworn declaration.
