On the one hand it is not much of a surprise that Trump directed Flynn to "contact" the Russians. Trump has previously said, in regards to Flynn's phone calls with Kislyak where he said Russia shouldn't worry about Obama's latest sanctions, that Flynn was "doing his job." So Trump straight up endorsed that action by Flynn. Trump has made no secret of his enthusiasm for concessions to Russia. The only question is whether there's something deeper at play.

But the simple fact that Flynn is cooperating for the sake of the "country" is huge.

But goddamn, don’t be such a drama queen about daily fluctuations in the Dow. It just hit 24k for the first time ever so a quick drop after months of rapid growth isn’t really a worry yet. Wait till something actually frightening happens rather than being a doomsayer all day.


It going upandupabdup is frightening enough on its own.

No disagreement there.

Right now Trump doesn't seem to be the focus but his immediate family such as Jr. and especially Kushner.

And he specifically asked Comey to drop the Flynn investigation. He also met with Comey and asked him for loyalty the same day George P lied to the FBI in an interview.

The totality of Trump’s vice and corruption is really something to behold. The notion that Republican voters argue there’s some benefit provided by Trump that comes anywhere close to justifying his presidency is a pox on their entire philosophy.

They likely got Flynn by getting evidence that could put his son in jail. Makes sense to go after Trumps kids to get the man himself.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

We all know Ivanka is the only trump kid that would get protection. Everyone else would just suffer.

Trump has shown himself to drive the bus when he leaves people behind. Can't really see his kids apart from maybe Ivanka doing anything to Trump himself.

Flynn definitely has real and substantial dirt on both the campaign and administration. Trump has cast aside or refused to defend every other person being charged. His obsession with Flynn being left alone, coupled with that breaking report that the inner circle of the White House says this is "very very very bad," give good reason to believe that not only does Flynn have killer testimony, he also has evidence to back it up.

Tillerson is on the way out of State Dept. Cotton to CIA.

In short Trump and the GOP ARE going to pull the War card in hopes of keeping their heads.

So they are doing what you want by deporting him. That was just a very roundabout way of displaying frustration with Trumps complete inability to make even the slightest hint of progress regarding his inexplicably dumb wall?

The current president brought the families of victims of deported illegal alien violence on stage and used the campaign stop to talk about a big, beautiful wall. It shouldn’t be rocket science.

I'd have done a far better job at securing the border than trump admittedly that's still a very low standard to beat.
