Good.
The article says it’s a blow to Trump, meeting the expectations of everyone regarding opinions of the unbiased media. Contrary to the propaganda, it removes a wart

Flynn made a fatal mistake.. He lied to his Boss… Hard to believe he understood NOTHING about US security measures….could have been dangerous to have someone that stupid…
Kelly Anne Conway is also not long for this Administration.

Kelly Ann is a S Jersey Girl.. She can handle herself better than you think…She is no fool
I didn’t follow anything about Flynn, Why was he a wart?
Remember when the media forced Obama to resign after he was caught on tape telling Medveddy he’d “have more flexibility after the election”. Good times.
Just down the White Horse Pike from moi!
The Demented Democrats will smell blood and really get enthused. Not likely to end well.
It is different when liberals do it. Always a double standard when it comes to errors between the right and left. The active sympathy of the onside or opposed media makes all the difference. When this happens to the Dems it all gets swept under the rug by the parties concerned and the media.
Mike in White Rock, exactly, so I am not sure how this is good in any way.
Flynn screwed up.
Yes, Flynn screwed up. But why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that someone on the inside leaked info to the press?
Yes. The claim that he was a wart is not explained. I think the CIA wanted him gone. That’s a loss.
Actually they are talking about it on FoxNews. There have been a number of incidents of leaks, but this is the most serious and in fact most likely is a crime. They also talked about the FBI being openly hostile to Trump.
It is high time for Trump to do some serious purging of the civil service, especially the security services, or his administration will be seriously undermined.
Having perused the comments, I notice that there is a cut-off of memories for the commenters. Either most of you are too young to remember, or you have forgotten that “Kerry did meet face-to-face with the PVR’s negotiator Madam Nguyen Thi Binh”, DURING the Viet Nam war. I guess it was OK then for an American soldier coward to directly involve himself in the war negotiations as long as he was a rich dhimocrapt but heaven help us if a Republican does it today. We are never going to come together as long as this mind set exists. We already know that the Logan act only applies to Republicans…
This is machination by the Uniparty GOPe/Dem cabal, pure and simple.
One can either be an apologist/supporter of the GOP/Dem cabal, like Lance appears to be, or one can do ones own research.

Well done, YeahWell, as I was just about to link that as well after it was linked at Blazing Cat Fur by a commenter; and I’ll see about your second link as well.
Now I am really glad that Steve Bannon is sitting-in at the national security briefings. Really, I am. Who else has the brains and balls to take on the CIA. My only advice to the Trump Admin. … “beware the polonium-spiked bagels”
Flynn is a great general but demonstrated he is not nearly as good a politician. He messed up and he knows it, but seems to be have been forgiven.
He showed more class than the lame stream media or Dem fascists could ever muster, by falling on his sword when he could have stayed on.
If he were part of the present lot of progressives, he’d be obfuscating, pointing fingers elsewhere and blaming a vast right wing conspiracy.
It’s a big story no doubt. Too bad for the Dems is they have cried wolf so many times, the Trump admin can easily ride this out.
Toothless cries for investigations, feigned disgust and of course proof that Putin put Trump in, await. They will again overreach imho.
Though I’m sure the folks at CNN and MSNBC are aghast.
“We already know that the Logan act only applies to Republicans…” It doesn’t apply to anyone, it is bluster
I would expect that the CIA will leak their investigation of Senator Diane Feinstein, She was raging mad when she found out the CIA was targeting her office.. We the public demand the file….
The CIA will have to speak truth to Trump….(or an apple & Bus Ticket).. He will not ask nicely… Bring your Tooth brush idiots
You don’t make enemies with the intelligence community. That’s just not smart. They will get you back big time.
Now, if the biggest wart of all, Steve Bannon, could also be lanced so that things can settle down and the good people in the cabinet can get on with some needed new policies.
Actually, “boil” is the term I should have used.
“Flynn is a great general but demonstrated he is not nearly as good a politician. He messed up and he knows it, but seems to be have been forgiven. He showed more class than the lame stream media or Dem fascists could ever muster, by falling on his sword when he could have stayed on.”
Nope. According to the latest White House statements, Flynn’s resignation was “requested” by Trump, i.e., he was fired. So, in fact, not forgiven, could not have stayed on, did not fall on his own sword.

Also, it seems he may have lied to FBI investigators in his early days as NSA, so there’s perhaps a felony charge in his future too.
OK new news. Bottom line, he did the honourable thing and resigned, maybe to avoid being fired, who knows.
Maybe when the NSA is finished looking at Hillary’s gross breaches of security, they can move on to Flynn.
We will sure; but we can be sure the Dems will cry wolf all over Washington.
But they were out of power losers before Flynn’s resignation, and they continue to be so afterwards.

The effort, said to include former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes—the architect of a separate White House effort to create what he described as a pro-Iran echo chamber—included a small task force of Obama loyalists who deluged media outlets with stories aimed at eroding Flynn’s credibility, multiple sources revealed.
The operation primarily focused on discrediting Flynn, an opponent of the Iran nuclear deal, in order to handicap the Trump administration’s efforts to disclose secret details of the nuclear deal with Iran that had been long hidden by the Obama administration.

not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you. If you believe anything on this whole shit storm that anyone says or has said, you would be smart to STFU, as all things said to this point are highly questionable, even coming from good sources. They need to find the mole, and any lie necessary to that end will be told
chutz…yup I read that too, and posted some were that soros and obungles are behind this
When the dust settles there are going to be liberal heads exploding once again. Bank on Trump going with RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL ROBERT HARWARD. This guy is an ex-navy SEAL who used to be under Maddog Mattis’ command at one time. Personally, I would had preferred him over Flynn any day of the week.
“, you would be smart to STFU, as all things said to this point are highly questionable, even coming from good sources. They need to find the mole, and any lie necessary to that end will be told.”
The claim that Trump asked for Flynn’s resignation didn’t come from an internal leaker, or anonymous source, etc. It came from Sean Spicer as an official WH statement during an on-the-record press briefing. If this was in fact a lie, how exactly would it serve to flush out your imaginary mole?
“chutz…yup I read that too, and posted some were that soros and obungles are behind this”
…says the guy who literally five seconds earlier declared that “if you believe anything on this whole shit storm that anyone says or has saidyou would be smart to STFU, as all things said to this point are highly questionable.”
having watched this unfold for the last two days and realizing that Flynn worked for Obama, was registered democrat, I changed my view on this whole thing. it is meaningless.
Oh eli, it is starting to take shape, and you will be surprised what is coming out. You are typical of a lot in here, including Rance, Flynn was set up, but the whole thing is ILLEGAL, from the git go. If Trump asked for the resignation, one has to ask the reason. Who taped the conversation, broke the law, There is no evidence that Flynn broke the law or the Logan act (which is a piece of garbage), who evey leaked to stuff, broke the law and compromised the intell protocols (it’s nice to let the Russians know that you are listening to their guy). Maybe Trump asked for his resignation just to quiet things down, or throw up a smoke screen. We do now know that obungles loosen the rules of info dissemination in early Jan 2017. Maybe he did that just to set this up. Also it is now known that there are those, including obungles, who will do almost any thing to prevent the Iranian deal coming to lite. I’v noticed before that you are quite often nothing but an uninformed quacking idiot
