If Trump knew Flynn was talking to the Russians, then why would he continue to let him sit on security briefings? Doesn't that present a major national security risk?

I get the sense that a good portion of the allegations in the Trump dossier will be substantiated.
Congress has the power to subpoena Trump's tax returns to determine if there is a hidden Russian connection which he is hiding.

How Congress could get Trump's tax returns - Feb. 7, 2017

"Thanks to a little-known and rarely used provision in the law, either the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation may request anyone's tax returns to examine -- including the president's -- from the secretary of the Treasury.
They wouldn't need to tell anyone that they did so. They could share the returns with their committee members in closed session. And if one of the committees thinks releasing the returns to the House or Senate would further a legitimate committee purpose and be in the public interest, they can do that, too -- without Trump's consent,

One would think. So why is no one calling him on it?

I'm starting to believe that Tramp himself is the biggest security risk.

That would make them such hypocrites, right?

But they're not. They're really, really not.

Ever.
Hillary + Uranium + Obama + open mic= To Russia with Love!

I've said it before, but at this point, trump could pimp Ivanka out of the Lincoln Bedroom, order the military to invade Australia and start randomly killing people, and suggest internment camps for all people of color and the trump lemmings would just shout:

"Yeeeee-haww!! Go trump! Make Merka great!!"

The ignorance, idiocy, xenophobia...truly beggars belief.

Trump probably advised Flynn to contact the Russian ambassador. Flynn is taking the fall for Trump? Trump should have addressed the media today, not Spicer!

Russians asked Flynn about sanctions. The horror! Ted Kennedy asked Russians to help defeat Reagan. That's Cool!

Demonic p. 271:

I'm curious to know who will honestly admit they voted for him after all is said and done and America is ruined or at least had to endure another 20 scandals caused by the Mighty Orange Twitterer. Or will all the Trump voters say they didn't vote or they voted for Hilary or someone else?
