What’s worse? That Flynn discussed sanctions with the Russians and lied about it, or that Trump is now lying about what he knew about it?
What I don’t understand is how incompetent do these people have to be? Flynn was freakin’ National Security Advisor, and before that was the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (before he was fired from that job). And yet he didn’t seem to realize that the CIA routinely eavesdropped on those phone calls?
It had gotten so bad that the CIA was starting to withhold sensitive information from the Trump administration. And why wouldn’t they? Trump wasn’t interested in his daily briefing, so the information was more likely to be leaked (to the Russians even) than be acted upon.
What’s next? Trump discussing a national security crisis with the leader of an allied nation in public, with people taking photos of the discussions?

Everyone should press their congressman/woman to investigate this issue. Some republicans are standing up to Trump but others like Chafetz are being ridiculoous.

Why shouldn’t the democrats stand up to Trump and make him accountable? Anyone who suggests that the democrats should just bend over and let Trump have his way is a hypocrite plain and simple!!
PINO simply loved Wikileaks and Ruskie hackers during the campaign, couldn’t praise and thank them enough. Now that the shoe is on the other little foot he’s protesting the “low life leakers”?
Less than a month into this developing train wreck and…
o National security adviser resigns over secret Ruskie connections, prompting calls for investigation, even by some Republicans. Other campaign aides also under like suspicion. PINO calls it a witch hunt by “fake news” media illegally leaking intel. But fires him anyway? This from the guy who brags he “never settles”, hires only the smartest, most tremendous people?
o Goes on a twit tirade about NSA and FBI (no more air kisses for you, Comey!). Spy agencies withholding intel from THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF in cautious response. (Strangely, I feel a bit safer now, barely). PINO pitchs another billionaire to lead intel. review. (Yeah, that outta help.)
o PINO equates Russia and US in moral authority in an interview during the SuperBowl, to the astonishment even of FOX lackey, Papa Bear. Tweets Russia “smart” for not “over reacting” to Obama’s diplomat expulsions. Meanwhile, another Putin critic poisoned one day before planned US visit.
o Russia deploys spy ship visibly off the Atlantic coast. Tests and begins deployment of a new generation of ballistic missiles in clear violation of a standing treaty. Deafening silence in response from the Whine House.
o Sec. of Labor nominee (and billionaire) withdraws over allegations of spousal abuse (thanks Oprah!). Billionaire Sec. of Educ., hostile to public education, squeaks by nomination with historic tie breaker by VPINO. Sleepy Ben at HUD. Clueless Dancing Star, Oops Rick, at Energy. Billionaire oil tycoon at State, who’s choice for experienced deputy nixed by PINO because he hurt his feelings once, awww. (Hey, remember when Hillary said all those nasty things about Obama before he made her Sec. of State? Good times!).
o Retreats from long-held two-state solution at “press conference” with Bibi, exits following mutual masturbation session taking no questions from press (thanks for showing up, guys).
o Anonymous insiders admit Reince clueless, in way over his head. PINO insists he’s doing “not a good, but a great job”.
Sheesh! If this was still the Obama Admin., RINOs would be apoplectic and calling for a veritable lynching!
Remember what DeVos really wants is to teach Christian education in the non public schools, ignoring the other Religions. that is her aim. we just can’t let that go. Achievement Scores in her schools are terribly low as the only thing that counts is to make this a christian nation.
My grandchildren in Public school here in an area that is all Christain get comparative Religions as part of their education. They aren’t brainwashed into one Religion.
I hope America is able to get this traitor out of office before he does too much damage…
…And then we get Pence?
I think making Trump ineffective would be better.
Apparantly Trumps family is costing us more than the Obama’s based on current expense rate. Hopefully it comes out of the pockets of those who voted for him http://www.businessinsider.com/cost-of-protecting-trump-secret-service-2017-2
