Flynnghazi: Justice Dept. warned WH that advisor vunlnerable to blackmail.

[jugzilla]

I don't think Trump takes much of anything seriously, much less in a competent manner.

You have been railing on and on about them having dinner, as if that was the issue. It was never the issue. The issue was the handling of a security brief and classified information. And if Trump wants to say that nothing was classified, then he should release the audio of the meeting, as well as all the documents they had out.

Release the audio for the meeting? You really want Trump to release the audio of his dinner conversations, and accuse me of being hung up on his dinner conversations? We aren't going to see eye to eye. Believe it or not I do take national security seriously, and I see you reaching at straws to win a political fight, national security be damned.

If you look at one of the pictures you can see them using a cell phone flash light to illuminate something maybe it was the menu right ? And I wonder why his cabinet was there surrounding him they must been going for one Trumps famous selfies ?

Why do we even have the NSA or CIA when we can crowdsource intel gathering, and let people like you tell us what is really happening. My sources tell me Trump was being texted pictures of the Roswell Aliens (now stored at Ft Knox.) Trump was going to show those pictures to Abe so the US could exert leverage in the tentacle porn industry. The future of tentacle porn will never be the same, thanks to North Korean shenanigans.

Isn't Pence the one who believe in conversion therapy for gays?

Same guy that wants to force rape victims to keep whatever offspring may come from it.

[Jinpachi]

The issue is he discussed US foreign policy strategy with someone who wasn't in a position to know about it and is in a position to take advantage of it. Oh: and it's Flynn talking to Russia we're discussing, not Hillary, who is completely irrelevant to this subject.

Not really. The individual isn't the issue, the issue is leaks, and how to prevent them. At least flynn resigned, the bitch had the audacity to run for president.

If it's not classified in any way, then he should be more than willing to release it, including the documents. Once again, the issue is not a dinner conversation, the issue is a national security briefing in front of the public. You are either too daft to recognize the difference, or you are being deliberately obtuse. I'll let you decide.

Oh, he's deplorable on his own all right.

Soooo... thoughts on the public display of the President of the United States huddling over classified documents and making phone calls on cellphones to address the North Korean Missile launch?

Nice operational security, Mr. President.

[Deleted]

You assume that he was being shown classified information at that point. For all you know is it was a note from Steve Bannon that said "North Korea is up to something. Text me."

At any rate, I find nothing here that even so much as tingles my coldwar kid nerves. This is politics, and I don't like seeing the politicalization of national security. North Korea does stupid stuff 24/7 365. And when North Korea finally goes away, there will be other another problem.

People on these levels of power remain careful, because they have to. Sony was negligent on their security and had a nightmarish data breach (now I know that David Fincher has a low opinion on Adam Driver, for example). If you are careless, it will be utilized against you.

It's been 3 weeks, and they're already waist deep in scandals.

You guys were right, you keep winning. Winning records at how fast someone can be made to resign and winning at how fast you can lose face.
Ya'll must be tired of winning

What makes you think his dinner was audio recorded?

[Machismo]

Maybe it was, maybe it was not. There tends to be audio recordings of most presidential meetings. There were certainly documents out, let's see those.

So you are demanding him to release audio recordings that you admit may not even exist. Got it.

[Machismo]

I'm demanding that he release all information available. If there's audio tapes, which there usually is, release them. There were clearly documents on the table, release them. It's not really a difficult concept to grasp.

[Orbitus]

Woah...infraction? He may have even been satirical.



Damn Scroe, it's good to see a post when you are on the side of the US again. You shift your position on guns, and I will start fundraising for your presidential campaign tomorrow.

It's Hooked. It wasn't satirical. He already stated that he doesn't list to anyone left of Fox News.

[Poopymonster]

But...but...that's like his sole remaining connection with the rank-and-file GOP. Him firing Preibus would basically be a bold-faced announcement of a coup. It's way the hell too soon to do that. Not even Trump can possibly be that stupid or that ill-informed.

Somewhere tiny orange hands rub together, someone mutters "Challenge accepted"

[jugzilla]

First off, this idea that there "usually is" is an audio copy of conversations the POTUS has with foreign leaders off-camera is baffling. Maybe if every President was named Nixon...you could find those tapes. Second of all, and more importantly, you are demanding that the conversation with a foreign leader and our President be made public and broadcasted to the world. I feel your intention is not to protect the US from N Korea; it is to discourage ANY foreign leaders to discuss privately with our President.

Oh. What was the infraction for again? I only ask because I don't want to repeat the mistakes he made.

They do record conversations, it's to have a record of the events.

If their conversation was fine to have in public, then why not release it? If the documents were mundane, why not release them? If either was classified, then they were breaking laws by having them out in the open. Think about it... and wait for it to sink in. Either their conversation could easily be released to the public, or they were talking about something they should not have been discussing outside of a SCIF.

[Poopymonster]

HOLY FUCK.

That is a high level burn. How the fuck is the Trump Administration gonna spin this?

Via twitter!

Loser. Cheater. Didn't like the guy. Knew he wasn't a winner. Sad.

- - - Updated - - -

Holy shit, that does not look like it's approved language from the Trump team in the slightest.

Did Flynn really get so salty that he's going a bit rogue? I mean, I'm not surprised considering he's been totally fucking nuts for years now, but like...what the fuck is this event.

This is not how you fall on the sword, Flynn!

Gitmo here he comes!

Waterboarding for days! Real waterboarding, that is torture, not Trump with a silk doily over his face with 2 Russian prostitutes pissing on it.

[Shadowferal]

Well, so far this Trump Admin is keeping well paid up for gas money. (at work there was a pool on Flynn. I said he'd fall on his sword by the end of the week if not sooner)

I doubt about Pence. I pretty much see him as the straight man of the bunch. He's in because they needed some party support.

I noticed some damage control going for Pence yesterday which leads me to believe we'd better get to thinking "President Pence" sooner than later. (I'm still locked in the timeframe of "end of year" but...The questions are rolling about how much Trump knew about Flynn, which are making some really curious about his tax returns among other things. I might bump my timing up)

I will take "Machismo making things up for 500, Alex."

[TwoNineMarine]

What exactly has Flynn done that's caused him to resign?
