Well, my aunt in Florida has since admitted that she regrets voting for Trump and she's actually a bit scared of his administration. Not sure about my other family that voted for him, it's not something I like to bring up.

All my relatives voted for him and none of them have anything bad to say. They think the media is unfairly against him (including some at Fox News lol).

Does Flynn just accept being thrown out to the wolves here?
If Russia loses one of its major players inside the admin and realizes Trump won't be able to lift sanctions during this shit storm, how do they react?

Yeah, my Mom is the only one in my family that voted for him I believe. She's pro life and was convinced Hillary was the worst person in the history of the world. Trump could be assassinating political opponents and openly attempting to get rid of all other branches of government and take complete power, she would still be onboard as long as someone was looking out for those unborn babies.
So Flynn resigned over "fake news", huh?
My family is more old-GOP and less Tea Party so it might have something to do with it. They still happily voted for the orange ballsack though.

They are not wrong
I find it hard to believe Trump doesn't compensate Flynn in some manner and basically anyone around him so nothing sticks to him so keep an eye out for a trail. He either outs himself by throwing people under the bus who then turn on him or throws the dice and pays them off to keep quiet but risks it leading back to him.

Never mind utter bullshit I apologise
DAMN YOU SETH MEYERS
Fake twitter account. It's okay, Pelosi and Cummings were fooled too.
Parody/fake account.
The obvious way to not be a scapegoat is to come clean on everything so it gets tied to the rest of them but he's a Trumpstan even in death.

Because 5 years ago Vladimir Putin got his claws on Trump, and told Trump to create instability in the west.

Trump has been flirting with the Kremlin since at least the 80s.
A very good point. Trump probably has someone else in mind for his chopping block though if this is his standard tactic it's scummy to throw a "ally's" name out there like that.
Easily is one of the worst bosses to work for.
Release the pee gates.

"There was no violation of law."
What a fucking joke. Do these morons actually believe this shit? What kind of dirt is out there on them if they are willing to lie like this constantly?

From the other thread, but if Trump fires Priebus, Priebus will rally the GOP against him. At least this infighting will be useful to Dems IF they don't just do "Let them fight.gif" It's an opportunity and I'm hoping those in charge at the DNC take advantage of it.
Motivate their base, use it to rattle some House or Senate seats, use it to re-inform voters of 2018. SOMETHING.

Easy D and the GOP behaving like teenagers caught with cigarettes. "UGH HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY PRIVACY!!!" The most pathetic and transparent spin I've seen from this administration and that's saying something.
Unfortunately for them leaks will only continue. Leaks are the symptom of a shit administration run by backstabbing parasites with no one having any sense of loyalty. They're the result of deeply rooted dysfunction.

Weird mix of bullshit and facts, not sure I like taste of that spoonful. Trump / WH was informed weeks ago by DoJ, but it didn't have any effect on Flynn's posting or public displays of trust and support towards him from administration.
Trump & Goonsquad just prayed that shit wouldn't get out. It did get out and now they are pissed off because "bad leaks" took shit on their plans.

Aren't there like two different laws that he should have broken if he attempted to undermine Obama's sanctions before Trump took office?
Were they supporters of Trump? As bad as it may sound, there are those who still voted for him that don't like him at least because they felt he was better in terms of national security. Those people likely won't have a problem with impeaching him in favor of Pence. As far as the republican base goes, those would be the ones that this type of news would hopefully affect.
"Administration of 180", take what they say and flip it around and you have most likely truth. Then sit back and let press dig. It's almost like they can't help it, but they just lie and keep getting caught.

They're all in on it. It has to get to a point where impeaching Trump and his admin is less painful than keeping him on. Even then only the minimal amount of sacrificial lambs will fall for this. Most of whom are complicit in this will never face justice. Hope I am wrong but you'd have to purge the entire GOP to get any remotely honest politicians back.
Have to keep up the pressure(leaks) on anyone who's involved in this.
Oof. He doesn't move the whole time.
F.B.I. Interviewed Flynn in Trumps First Days in Office, Officials Say
F.B.I. agents interviewed Michael T. Flynn when he was national security adviser in the first days of the Trump administration about his conversations with the Russian ambassador, current and former officials said on Tuesday.
The interview raises the stakes of what so far has been a political scandal that cost Mr. Flynn his job. If he was not entirely honest with the F.B.I., it could expose Mr. Flynn to a felony charge.
Shortly after the F.B.I. interview, on Jan. 26, the acting attorney general, Sally Q. Yates, told the White House that Mr. Flynn was vulnerable to Russian blackmail because of inconsistencies between what he had said publicly and what intelligence officials knew to be true.

Flynn may be looking to trade testimony for immunity any day now.

Chaffetz continues to be a scumbag.
Russian ship on the coast of Delaware was probably sneaking in an assassin. Flynn should watch out for any suspicious umbrellas and stop drinking liquids he didn't get himself.
If Russia doesn't tie up their loose ends first.
