[Veitsev]

yup, he is a fall guy

This isn't over. Solid potential this becomes a criminal matter and now that he isn't a member of the administration he won't have the same level of partisan protection from investigation/hearings. The question will become just who knew what and to what degree Trump and other administration officials were involved.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Lol, dude got forced out of two top government positions for shady shit. Hope he takes his moron of a son with him.

Oh god I forgot all about his conspiracy theorist son.

One of my favorite all time movies. Run do not walk to your nearest Blockbuster Video.

Better get it on Betamax while you're there

 

[BlueTsunami]

What's this from?

Thats obviously from Air Force One. Not sure why people are mistaken.

 

[Intheflorsh]

HAHA it's still not on Breitbart.

Makes sense, how the fuck could you possibly spin this?

 

[MetalGearZed]

HAHA it's still not on Breitbart.

the SpinMaster5000 is clearly jammed. give em time

 

[Unknown Soldier]

yup, he is a fall guy

The fall guy tactic only works if there is any level of credibility that no one else was in on it.

 

[Gutek]

They're working on it!

Air Force One

I like you.

 

[greycolumbus]

Here's hoping the man flips. I hope someone is keeping an eye on his food.

 

[MyleMan1010]

Fox is just putting this development sprinkled into their news feed. They're not even talking about it.

I actually watched it break on Fox. They cut in on the taped O'Reilly Factor to break the news and they were actually quite critical. It really made the rest of O'Reilly feel "off" so I had to change the channel.

For the record, I am no Fox News fan. I usually switch between the networks to get the full story. That and I feel like Fox has some of the best talent. Most of them are the spawn of Satan, but for some reason that makes it more entertaining to me.

You're assuming Trump and his administration are competent enough to realize this

 

[UberTag]

HAHA it's still not on Breitbart.

Trump's legions of ill-informed followers who live in the Breitbart/Fox News bubble won't even realize anything has gone down.

 

[NullPointer]

HAHA it's still not on Breitbart.

They must be waiting for infowars to confirm it.

 

[newjeruse]

Dude has an incoming admin had as much negative press as this one? Literally one horrible/controversial piece of news every week.

Every week? I can't listen to political podcasts anymore because they're outdated when they post a few hours after they record.

I have the same exact problem!!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Eh, let's not cherry pick. They posted a corrected tweet 6 minutes later. It is a breaking news story, things like this happen. Don't read too much into it.

They got roasted on their timeline, that might have had something to do with it.

 

[gutter_trash]

remember, this is the "Lock Her Up" guy from the RNC last August

 

[Veitsev]

I have the same exact problem!!

I know that feel bro.

 

[mercenar1e]

It's time the media nails The administration over its obvious ties to Russia. Don't let this traitor get off easy.

 

[pringles]

So the Trump admin is obsessed with refugee extreme vetting because brown people are scary AF right? But when the attorney general tells them someone probably broke the law and they have evidence to prove it, they make that person the national security adviser and fire the attorney general.

I hope someone hammers them so fucking hard on this.

This is the real smoking gun.

 

[Ozigizo]

Well got good news for you Jr got booted as well.

Thank god. I really hope that whole legacy remains tarnished. Like the rest of Trump's cabinet, they were not fit for the positions they received.

Now we hope Bannon is next.

 

[Got]

I think Bannon is robot Hitler in this scenario, so he's probably last.

 

[helloresolven]

This is definitely not the end. CNN, WaPo, etc... now see that the stuff they've been chasing after has substance if it brings down an official.

 

[Buddha Beam]

This is all leading up to piss tape being real and aired on global television

No one would care at this point.

That's the nice thing about outrage overload. It's like we've all been looking at one of those websites full of pictures of violent car accidents and gunshot victims and now it just doesn't even phase us.

Oh, so the President had some Russian hookers piss all over the bed while he jerked off and watched? Meh.

 

[GameAddict411]

I wonder where the pressure to let go of him came from? I doubt it was from Trump's side.

 

[Kthulhu]

Wow, surprised Flynn is taking the bullet.
They must have cut a deal to keep him quiet about all of the shit that could implicate Trump and the others.

Wouldn't be the first time it's happend.

 

[Veitsev]

We also haven't even begun to go down the Trump business ties in Russia rabbit hole yet.

Let this be a reminder that real news isn't fake.

[sangreal]

the details of the story are devastating to the image Trump and Pence try to portray

that is certainly a bigger issue for Trump and Co. than the legal side

 

[UberTag]

For folks who want to reminisce.

"It's unbelievable!" - Yes, it is General Flynn.

Russia is saying he retired.

Next week on RussiaToday "General Flynn dies peacefully in his home"

 

[kirby_fox]

I'm curious if this is so people stop digging, or if this is because there's enough evidence that something happened.

If it's the former, journalists are going to really dig in deep now. If it's the latter, I wonder if anyone is going to start trying to throw each other under the bus.

 

[sc0la]

On CNN, Petraeus is interviewing tomorrow.

So they are replacing a man who innaproproately shared classified materials, with a man who pleaded guilty to innapropriately sharing classified materials to avoid prison time and certain conviction of a felony. As National Security Advisor to the president. jfc

But her emails tho 🙄

 

[CrocMother]

Thanks Flynn!

The smoke is so thick we can't even tell the room is completely engulfed in flames.

 

[Blader]

Miller, Crowley, Flynn.

That's a lot of high-profile resignations to pile up this quickly. Trump must be going for a record.

Jesus, I completely forgot about Jason Miller :lol
