So why is trump now defending Flynn and blaming the media? Didn't trump fire him? If he's saying it's because of the media, that makes him look really weak.
It sure does make him look weak and fake too, since during the election he encouraged 'leaks' and frequently repeated 'fake news'. Remember him saying "I love wikileaks" repeatedly at his rallies? Funny how it changes when he's the victim of it rather than the perpetrator.
The FBI in late December reviewed intercepts of communications between the Russian ambassador to the United States and retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn — national security adviser to then-President-elect Trump — but has not found any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit ties to the Russian government.
Mr. Comey (FBI) said, there had to be evidence that Mrs. Clinton intentionally transmitted or willfully mishandled classified information. The F.B.I. found neither, and as a result, he said, “our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
hmm same language.. hmm?
No...there's nothing illegal about Flynn talking about the sanctions...
He got canned for lying about it.
Kinda like when Bill Clinton lied about getting a bit o honey in the oval office.
The nature of Flynn’s pre-inauguration message to Kislyak triggered debate among officials in the Obama administration and intelligence agencies over whether Flynn had violated a law against unauthorized citizens interfering in U.S. disputes with foreign governments, according to officials familiar with that debate. Those officials were already alarmed by what they saw as a Russian assault on the U.S. election.
U.S. officials said that seeking to build such a case against Flynn would be daunting. The law against U.S. citizens interfering in foreign diplomacy, known as the Logan Act, stems from a 1799 statute that has never been prosecuted. As a result, there is no case history to help guide authorities on when to proceed or how to secure a conviction.
The Obama administration have put us harms way for years but the low lives of the democrats are nothing but scum.
Flynn was the omly one who stood up and called out Obama for what he was. I feel sorry for the Military.
Supposedly Flynn called Russia to set up a meeting, I still don't see anything scheduled.
Flynn also met with the far right party leader from Austria that signed an agreement with Putin's Party.
Quote:
President-elect Donald Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, met with the leader of a far-right Austrian political party that has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Austrian leader said.
The Freedom Party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, wrote on his Facebook page Monday that he met with Flynn "and a few other high-ranking US politicians" a few weeks ago at Trump Tower

Flynn was a conspiracy theorist and a lose cannon, when you look at prior NSA chiefs this was a mistake.
I don't know, maybe Trump? Apparently Flynn said he did not bring up sanctions and now changed his story because the NSA has the calls. So Pence fired him. Who wants someone who cannot keep their story straight.
Ya know what's illegal about it? Nothing.
I beg to differ.
If Flynn didn't do anything wrong, then why lie about it when Pence asked him?
The Idea of a close adviser of Trump having talks with Russia on the Sanctions with out informing the State Department can even be Qualified as Treason since Russia and USA are in a New Cold War.
USA is as or even more guilty of War Crimes as Russia. that is not under discussion, but the US Imperial Elite,c rosked if you want, will not suffer that their lose of power to Trump could mean a step back in the front of hostilities with Russia.
The Imperial Elite of USA conceives the world as to be leaded by USA, without rivals, Russia and China mean rival powers to USA hegemonic aspirations.
That is why we can understand the outrage of the imperial Elite b the act of General Flynn wanting to stablish softened relations with Russia.
Let us understand this, there is something that will Trully threat USA hegemony, and that is a Free Trade Agreement between Russia and China. The original strategy was to aproach China, since Nixon, to heat the relation of communist China with the former USSR. Once hte USSR was destroyed the Strategy was to allienate former USSR republics from Russia. once that happened the next step was to make China dependant on the Trade with USA and through that dependance allienate it from Russia.
Next Step was Control Middle East Oil reserves to control India.
With the arrival of Trump, the apprach to Russia and the Allienation of China has turned backwards the whole strategy. And the Elite will not stand such change without fighting.
Yes for the 61st time. Are you people that dense? Or that angry for LOSING the election?
Now I don't want to discourage team Trump from their sadly transparent attempts to minimize what is going on by calling it the "crybaby" antics of "stupid losers" in cahoots with the "fake media" and intelligence community "traitors."
If that's all you got, that's all you got. What can you say, really?
But the rest of us have moved on.
Even Trump and Bannon realize this. Trump is, at this very moment, doing his charming best to shore up support among Congressional Republicans. There's a rally this weekend to demonstrate he has tremendous public support as well as use the MSM to get his latest set of goofball alt-facts out to those who don't tweet.
It remains to be seen whether this will be a long, drawn out affair or whether Trump and Bannon will realize how this is heading and bow out gracefully.
