He discussed the sanctions. We know that. We know the DOJ informed Trump that Flynn had lied about the conversation and warned that the Russians could use that for blackmail purposes 3 weeks ago. The administration sat on that until the leaks overwhelmed them.

We also know the FBI questioned flynn during the transition.
 
Uhh... he's actually defending the leaker(s).

I know. I still think it's been funny because he's been condemning any articles which list "anonymous" intelligence sources including Steele's dossier, he wanted to see the receipts.

Flynn talking to the Russians has been in the news for months. Now he jumps on board when he resigns.
 
like Darth Vader, there is good in her somewhere. For some reason I have a feeling she's going to be some kind of whistleblower and switch sides.. probably as soon as she gets any kind of wind that she's next on the chopping block

No. Before Trump, she worked for Ted Cruz. Before Cruz, she worked for Michelle Bachmann. Before Bachman, she worked for Todd Akin. Her entire career has consisted of her trying to sell hard core Republican fever swamp crazy to the american public. She has strong ties to Robert Mercer, the fucko who bankrolls Breitbart. There is a reason that she came onboard at the same time Bannon did. They were a package deal offered by Mercer in exchange for his support.

This is always who she has been. She's not some well intentioned person who got caught up in something beyond her. She is exactly where she wants to be doing exactly what she wants to do.

It's amazing that it seems like having to defend Trump is what finally broke her. During interviews she's usually really smug while smiling as she continually pulls one over on the person interviewing her. But during the Lauer interview she seemed completely defeated. Like for the first time she had no way to argue out of her situation.
 
Wait, Conway has been unfollowed by Trump and friends?

She's done. I wonder if they'll let her go after the Ethics Committee punish her for the entire Ivanka fiasco.

The Ethics folk apparently can't do anything directly do her, instead they do an investigation and make a recommendation of action to the White House (that being the agency Conway works at). Their letter said something about them getting authority to take action only if the White House fails to do anything about it, however.

Hopefully they recommend dismissal.
 
Conway (or even Spicy Sean) could possibly be replaced by Herr Stephen (the powers of the president will not be questioned) Miller. We'll then be longing for the days of Kellyanne and Melissa McCarthy in no time.
 
Conway is a first level boss. A joke in the grand scheme of things because nobody buys her bullshit, same goes for Spicer. Flynn was one of the top bosses. We need to get Sessions, DeVos and Tillerson next. Than we get the sub boss Bannon than the emperor himself.

Considering all the deflection it has to be this guy:

He drove anybody coming in with expectations of business as usual nuts, but once you knew his schtick he was easy to take down.
 
Extremist right wing Politicians take over the GOP and ally with Putin to help create their white, Christian only utopia and bring back "traditional values".

That poll showing the majority of Republicans are pro Russia makes you wonder how many were complicit.

Damn I'd kill for Trump admin Beat Um Up done in the Final Fight style.

Is Miller a secret boss then?
 
I'm not going to lie; this is the best I've felt since the election. Watching these turds flailing in their own mess brings me a certain level of joy.

That said, our country is a mess and that still depresses the hell out of me.
 
Repubs trying to compare conways mess to michelle obama endorsing subway when the obama family had nothing to gain from it. Talk about moving goalposts and stretching for touch downs. lol
 
Ah, right. I'm still confused though. I'm not a Twitterer.

Basically there was a maybe-non-story (story in that people on Twitter/here were talking about it) about them suddenly not following her - like maybe hinting she was on her way out. Now all of a sudden they are following her.
