If Trump could read, you better believe we'd be hearing about this on Twitter.
Do you really need anything but that cover image to troll him though

I can't see how this doesn't fall under Treason. Hope he gets tossed in jail. Also says a lot that one if Trump's closest advisors was colluding with Russia. Trump will never be able to shake that he's a Russian puppet.
Now even Pence walking back on what he did or didn't know about what Flynn talked with Russians. There is some fire and they are taking steps to drop Flynn?
Link?
https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/830057109094092800Pence told CBS on 1/15 that he talked to Flynn — & Flynn told him he & the Russian ambassador did not discuss anything to do with sanctions
https://twitter.com/elizlanders/status/8300591528525824023 sources tell me/@jeffzeleny/@Kevinliptakcnn that @VP did not know that Flynn spoke w/ Russian amb abt sanctions; source: "it's a problem"
From what I'm reading, they've had recordings of the calls for a while, and Trump and Pence had this intelligence, so they've been knowingly lying about it too?
I don't want to get excited, but this might be more than some obscure Logan Act violation.
What's he going to do about it?
What's he going to do about it?
Nothing? If you don't count sweeping this under the rug asap.
No t-shirts, but he does have pins and stickers.Get those tshirts printed already!
So we know for a fact Flynn has committed two offences.
He talked to Russia about the sanctions while Obama was still President, which violates the Logan Act. There are recordings of this.
Then, he lied publicly about it. He also either lied to the Vice President or Pence is lying too.
The interesting thing is that it makes no sense for Flynn to have acted this way on his own initiative. It only comes to proving how far up this goes. (In my belief, it's clearly from Trump but the proof is the thing).
Flynn must immediately resign at the very least. (I'd prefer the FBI to arrest him, of course, but they seem to be compromised and unwilling to do their job). He appears to be being lined up to be a sacrifice in any case.
I imagine Flynn is fucked. In a dream scenario, he'd make a deal with the FBI. In reality, he'll resign and duck away and no charges will be brought against him.
America is being run by republican crooks and criminals.
If the FBI could flip Flynn... that would be amazing.
But yeah, the best case scenario here is that Flynn resigns and ends up pulling down a sizeable cable news paycheck.
Trump's big mouth also damns him here. It was around this time as Flynn illegally discussed the sanctions with Russia that Trump made tweets saying how smart Putin was to not react to the fresh sanctions, and then saying to him to hold out till Jan. 20th.
Right, but Trump will say he had zero knowledge Flynn was doing this behind his back. No way Flynn is going to point fingers. He'll just duck out and Congress/FBI won't do shit if he retires. Or Trump could pardon/commute his dumb ass Scooter Libby style.
It's probably why the leaks are coming out. The FBI leadership clearly is in Trumps camp (and why not, he doesn't want to talk about criminal justice reform). So, leak this now so that the admin can see through media that Flynn needs to be jettisoned before he taints anyone else higher up.
This feels like a nice backrub by Comey to Trump and especially Pence.
And this mother fucker felt the need to send that god damned letter to Congress over a nothing sandwich.
Followed by Bannon as VPIf any of the deception evidenced here is true, Pence could be royally fucked.
Am I correct in thinking that, if Pence is lying whatsoever, then if Flynn gets kicked out, Flynn will threaten to take down Pence with him?

From what I understand - and admittedly I've only started to pay attention to this stuff in the last few days - Flynn seems like he's been carefully working his way toward this position of power for, well, a decade (probably longer).I wouldn't expect Flynn to make fuss if he needs to take the fall
Tie Flynn to Bannon, kill two birds with one stone. Trump is reliant on both, and without them, he's exposed to the establishment that's freaking out. They want a sedated, declawed Trump and Bannon and Flynn ousters would secure that.
Stop him tweeting and he'll lose all his power over his base, and then they can get back to normal institutionalized evil.
The above is a dream scenario but is plausible.
I wouldn't expect Flynn to make fuss if he needs to take the fall, but if Pence is lying and investigation finds proof of this then Pence is reaaaally fucked.

If I were him I wouldn't be so receptive to being disgraced and dismissed, if I knew others were equally corrupt and/or complicit.

Seeing as how the first few weeks have gone, I'm comfortable with this. Trump has caused pain but he keeps shooting himself in the foot in the process. And the clowns he's hired to fill his administration clearly aren't used to being under this much scrutiny when trying to pull their normal con jobs. It's inevitable that they'll keep getting caught.Frankly I'd be happy and surprised just to get Flynn (and his son) out of the white house.
There will be more scandals to get the rest
On "Face the Nation," @jdickerson pushes Pence: Did Trump campaign staff have *any* contact with Russia?
Pence scoffs. "Of course not."
