Well this is embarrassing. Of course, the Trumpites would rather bite their tongues off then admit it.

We all know this is just the tip of the iceberg. Team Trump has been alot more cozy with Putin than they want to publicly admit. We all know it

Oh there's no question Trump knew about this.

This is a perfectly sufficient catalyst for his impeachment.

A man's reputation and career has just been ruined by conjecture. Yes, conjecture. There is no proof of what was said between him and the Russian Ambassador; there never will be proof unless there is a tape of the conversation.
Yes he lied. So how is that so terrible? Politicians do it all the time. It is expected and accepted from them.
If Flynn had been a Democrat and a Democratic government in power it wouldn't have been a big deal.


There was no investigation when Bill Clinton spent half an hour on a plane collaborating with the Justice Minister. That was just as questionable as Flynn's conversation with the Russian Ambassador, just as underhanded and suspicious.


This is just one more impediment to any success the new administration could hope for. It is delaying progress for the government and doing irreparable damage to the country.


FGS! When are people going to calm down, start acting like responsible adults and let the cards play out. Four years from now there will be an election and people can speak their minds then legally at the polls.

My sentiments exactly! It is entertaining to watch a bunch of so called "adults" wallowing in this sh*t! :) :) Anyway the rumour mill is alive and well. I have "bigger fish to fry" than this sh*t.

I respected Flynn for his clarity of vision of the threats in the world today. The Press has been playing a game of gotcha with Michael Flynn since he was appointed as NSA.

It's very much tied into the attacks on the core of Trump's world view, which is aligning itself with nationalist and populist forces throughout the West, of which Russia is also apart, disregarding all the issues regarding Putin personally.

This marks a victory for the Establishment who are in support of the Sino Islamic sphere and which is in alignment with the forces of Global Free Market Capitalism.. and the end of the sovereign nation state. That is backed by both the NeoLiberal Democrats and NeoConservative Republicans (like McCain and Ryan). Russia is the red herrring in this effort.

This was a media driven campaign to rip the guts out of the Trump economic and strategic platform. Unfortunately Trump handed them a victory which they'll try to use to dismantle his policies. This really was about nothing but a casual conversation on Flynn's part, not about conspiracies and secret agendas.

Trump should have held his ground against the forces massing against him. They'll attack him relentlessly if he gives them any quarter whatsoever.
