President Trump acted in a quick and decisive matter when he lost trust in Flynn.  Who will be next?  Anyone who lies to the President or the Vice President.  

Quick and decisive? Kellyanne says that Flynn offered his resignation. Spicey says it was asked for. Which is it?

Donald Trump Had ‘No Problem’ With Michael Flynn Talking To The Russians

 

Spicer admitted Trump first learned about Flynn’s discussions weeks ago, in late January. The president and his staff, he added, discussed it daily from there but didn’t do anything to discipline Flynn until Monday. The reason it took the time it did, Spicer claimed, was because Flynn needed his “due process.”

Not quick enough for someone with access to information even beyond a Top Secret classification.

Like a lot of these type scandals the offense isn't what takes the person down it is the lying and coverup when caught that does the real damage.

Wait, you're telling me that in a power struggle between Preibus and Bannon, Bannon's old website puts out a hit piece on the Chief of Staff?  Well I never.....

But in this case, it definitely should have been the offense itself.  Why that wasn't enough is baffling.

So Bannon oversees the small team that writes the EO immigration ban then throws Priebus under the bus by blaming him? The Devil may have a new right arm.

No problem Ben. I found the entire article intriguing. 

Specifically, that Trump lost trust in Flynn and asked for his resignation. Or that heads will likely roll in the IC due to leaks.

I mean seriously, I don't know what more one could add here. It was well written and quite clear.

I'm sorry, but for some reason I got the impression you were defending Flynn/Trump.  Maybe I confused you with 75?  

Anyway, the only reason I asked for your point was your link appeared to be a total reversal from what I thought was your position and I wanted to clarify.

I apologize for the confusion.

No need for apologies. Admittedly I failed to realize which forum I was participating in and failed to put in my two cents. Clearly these separate forums blur the lines at times as has been previously noted. It was my mistake. No worries from my standpoint. Carry on.

You think something that happened 46 years ago has the same relevance as something that happened a few months back and right before the person was elevated to National Security Adviser?

The offenses are somewhat comparable, though Kerry's were much, much worse. Kerry should have been tried, convicted and hung for treason. However, now the Dems want to make a BFD out of Flynn talking to a country we're not even in a shooting conflict with. Just pointing out another case of the "hypocrisy of the left".

I don't mean this disrespectfully, but have you really tried to gather info on this matter in an effort to understand it before  posting about what John Kerry did 50 years ago?

I don't need to gather info, I lived through it. I can still visualize the traitor, John Kerry, speaking to the NV on my black & white TV screen. That was a year after I graduated from Auburn.
