I’m not sure how much I won, but I entered a pool a while back and chose Michael Flynn as being the first member of the administration to leave… So things are finally starting to look up, at least for me.
And, yeah, it’s being reported by the Washington Post that Trump’s embattled National Security Advisor, Michale Flynn, has resigned over revelations concerning his illegal communications with Russia.
So now how about some hearings so we can find out what Trump knew, when he knew he knew it, and whether or not there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin during the general election.
This, my friends, could very well be the beginning of the end… the first domino to fall in the chain that connects Trump to the Russian hacking campaign that helped him take the White House.

And this is why you don’t fuck with the CIA.
Like dominos… I’m hoping someone can prove Pence knew.
So does Bannon get a promotion now that Flynn is no longer the head of the National Security Council?
Poka!
Now he can go back to tweeting about Hillary Clinton’s child sex ring that operates in the caves beneath a pizza shop in D.C.
The resignation letter.

I’m afraid that this nightmare isn’t going to end that quickly– wish it were only a matter of dominoes… I heard Al Franken on Bill Maher’s show, and his general take was, this is going to be a long battle because the Dems are in the minority. What a fucking mess.
Who is left on the National Security Council now that Flynn is gone and Trump has removed both the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Director of National Security?
So now the search begins for the second most unstable general in DC.
I want to know if he resigned before or after the Dems sent a letter to Chaffetz about investigating him. Maybe that the was the last straw, thinking that if he resigned, they couldn’t investigate and find out even more.
Hallelujah!
As of yesterday, Chaffetz was still refusing to investigate.

Chaffetz has other priorities. He’s now investigating a cartoon character.

Sean Spicer just said that Trump has known “for weeks” that Flynn lied about his calls to the Russians.

I wonder if they will send out Kelly Ann Conway to distract the media with an accounting of the much under reported ISIS St. Valentines Day Massacre in Chicago?!
Let there be no mistake, this is why Yates was fired. She knew this was bad, and she warned the White House. Instead of firing Flynn, they fired her.
The NYT is reporting that if Flynn lied to the FBI when they questioned him about this, there could be felony charges.
And the story keeps unraveling.
“Trump knew Flynn was an unregistered agent for Erdoğan’s Turkey, saw no problem with his heading the NSC.”

The warning came when Mr. Obama met with his successor in the Oval Office two days after the November election, two former Obama administration officials said Monday.
