One of the Trump administration’s first decisions about the fight against the Islamic State was made by Michael Flynn weeks before he was fired – and it conformed to the wishes of Turkey, whose interests, unbeknownst to anyone in Washington, he’d been paid more than $500,000 to represent.

The decision came 10 days before Donald Trump had been sworn in as president, in a conversation with President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, who had explained the Pentagon’s plan to retake the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa with Syrian Kurdish forces whom the Pentagon considered the U.S.’s most effective military partners. Obama’s national security team had decided to ask for Trump’s sign-off, since the plan would all but certainly be executed after Trump had become president.

Flynn didn’t hesitate. According to timelines distributed by members of Congress in the weeks since, Flynn told Rice to hold off, a move that would delay the military operation for months.

Sounds suspiciously like… uh what’s that word. Hrm. Damn what is it?

Oh right: treason.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.

The previously undisclosed interactions form part of the record now being reviewed by FBI and congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election and contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Six of the previously undisclosed contacts described to Reuters were phone calls between Sergei Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the United States, and Trump advisers, including Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, three current and former officials said.

Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security bureaucracy, which both sides considered hostile to improved relations, four current U.S. officials said.

Hey, pay to play before Trump was elected, he must be a Clinton supporter.

Wow, you didn’t claim this one isn’t proven yet. I guess because Obama was still in office? Or because even you can’t defend treason?

Aides are now urging Trump to tweet and speak cautiously. “I think he actually understands what a mess this is,” one person said. "He has lawyers telling him nonstop what the stakes are here.

With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed!

Oh hey, missed this gem.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/17/us/politics/michael-flynn-donald-trump-national-security-adviser.html

Michael T. Flynn told President Trump’s transition team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for Turkey during the campaign, according to two people familiar with the case.

Despite this warning, which came about a month after the Justice Department notified Mr. Flynn of the inquiry, Mr. Trump made Mr. Flynn his national security adviser. The job gave Mr. Flynn access to the president and nearly every secret held by American intelligence agencies.

Mr. Flynn’s disclosure, on Jan. 4, was first made to the transition team’s chief lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, who is now the White House counsel. That conversation, and another one two days later between Mr. Flynn’s lawyer and transition lawyers, shows that the Trump team knew about the investigation of Mr. Flynn far earlier than has been previously reported.

It is staggering how incompetent this Administration is.

Ok, let’s try the same question asked differently…

Do you have a problem with this reporting the way you do with all other reports about the administration? If not, what’s the difference this time?

I have a problem with any reporting being touted as verifiable 100% fact. If, he was doing pay for play and it can be legally verified, him and Hillary should go to jail. If, they can legally verify that he had conversations he should not have, he deserved to be fired. Hillary Clinton did lie during her testimony about the emails and she is free as a bird. It set a sad precedent for all Government officials going forward. I thought Comey was a good man but even he couldn’t be reliable when it came to what he did, how he did it, and testimony he gave in front of Congress. Trump was right about one thing … he is the first President to ever be treated with such hostility by the media because they didn’t want him in office. I try very hard to piece together what I can from all the stories out there and it is not as easy to do when you just want the unadulterated truth.

Since you believe nothing I say and/or say that everything I say is unintelligible it would not matter whether I had a problem. The only time you believe or understand anything I say (like the post in question) is if it shows support for what you’ve said.

Tucker Carlson … great piece. Even Jason Chaffetz says he saw NO signs of collusion so he doesn’t know why the Democrats needed this Special Council. Maybe all Republicans are just pawns of Vladimir Putin. God forbid, Mr. Mueller ever at caviar, he’ll be investigated as a Russian spy too, LOL.

Also, the Democrats didn’t ultimately decide we needed a Special Counsel. The DOJ made that determination.

Ha, yes.

I don’t even remember the story saying anything related to Hillary, or the story having anything to do with Hillary, but I guess it’s the new “Thanks Obama.”

I would have assumed most people would have moved on from caring about her one way or the other, since she’s no longer relevant, but Warb said it best…

She lied, that is obstruction as well, it includes jail time of which she got none. Cherry picking doesn’t change the legally verifiable facts. Courts don’t convene on nameless sources.

Here’s a headline I’m sure most of you will love, even I giggled a bit.

“FBI Uncovers Evidence That 62 Million Trump Voters are All Russian Agents!” I guess this means you guys woke up in Russia the day after the election.

Oops! Since you didn’t provide any attribution, I Googled it, and here’s the very first thing that came up.

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/may/17/blog-posting/fake-story-about-trump-voters-being-russian-agents/

A satirical story that said every American who voted for Donald Trump works for the Russian government appeared to have started as a parody on a neo-Nazi website.

“FBI uncovers evidence that 62 million Trump voters are all Russian agents!” read the headline on a May 15, 2017, post on USPoliticsInfo.com. The post was flagged by Facebook users as possibly being fake, as part of the social media site’s efforts to crack down on fake news.

The story is full of absurd details that make it obvious it’s a joke. It said that anonymous FBI sources had revealed the 62 million voters were employed by Russian intelligence (Trump garnered more than 62.9 million votes in the presidential election, almost 2.9 million less than Hillary Clinton).

The story also said Wikileaks was run by Vladimir Putin and conservative media personality Alex Jones’ real name was Alexi Jonesov. An unnamed FBI agent further said in the article that “it is highly possible that the Russians used a space-beam from a satellite to control their brains from a facility in St. Petersburg, and moved their bodies like puppets to the polls to check the Trump box” during the election.

The same story or portions of it also appeared on several other websites.

Most of the time, these fake news sites share the story without any attribution at all. But after some digging, we found that the original fake post came from the white supremacist website DailyStormer.com.

I’m not laughing yet.

When asked for comment about why neo-Nazis are promoting the idea that the Trump-Russia connection is “fake news”, a DailyStormer member said “I know nothing! Nothing!”. A second member added “Hogaaan!”

The source also dismissed that there is any forethought into PAC being an infrastructure for a 2020 run of Pence’s own. “Don’t read into 2020 as anything other than his running for re-election as vice president in 2020 and supporting other candidates,” the source said.

That’s funny, why would that have even occurred to someone?
