A quick google search with the term “General Flynn’s Security Clearance” brought up this and other numerous articles.

I was asking for evidence on what Spicer said in those two sentences. Not a general article about the Flynn case that doesn’t appear to include any related evidence that backs up those two Spicer statements. I’ve giving up trying to find it, all I can find is evidence disproving it. Like I said… never mind.

Well… replacements? My serious money is on Giuliani. My God-I-wish-I-could-be-absolutely-certain-this-wasn’t-a-possibility money is on Flynn. At some point the pretense doesn’t serve a purpose anymore and just gets in the way.

Just imagine the worst and least qualified possible candidate. It’ll be him/her.

Not only that, but the demotion that comes with accepting the job would make Pence President.

It was not intended to answer any question. I posted it for a base of reference only. Besides, I think you two are too “Young Turk” for me.

I’m glad there isn’t an ongoing Trump/Russia investigation or this firing would look reaaaaalllly suspicious.

The masters of subtlety at the Russian state news agency just tweeted: Белый дом подтвердил, что у Трампа нет ни бизнеса, ни связей с Россией

Roughly: The White House confirmed that Trump has neither business nor other links to Russia

Well that plus the Comey firing settles it, then.

The FBI said if their was evidence they could not provide it to the American public because it was Classified so that is how transparency dies.

^ Zing!

The 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph gave me a genuine LOL. The rest is all dry lawyer speak you’d expect apart from that one self-aggrandising sentence that was clearly dictated by Trump.

I didn’t realize his John Hancock was so illegible. It looks like the output of an EEG or Seismograph. All the grief I got over my cursive in elementary school, and this guy is president? 😉

Just a reminder to the kids out there that when it came time to impeach Nixon, a majority of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted against all of the proposed articles of impeachment. If not for the Democratic majority, the articles of impeachment would never have made it out of committee (if indeed they were even considered), and he may not have resigned at all.

We’re in a situation where Nixon doesn’t resign, but also wins a third term.

Trump purged Comey to stop the investigation. He is not going down, he is flexing the iron fist.

So, we’re basically in a real life Watchmen right now? Who gets to be the buff blue glowing naked guy?

Possible replacements - Sarah Palin or Steve Bannon are the obvious choices. Sarah is perfect for the Russia investigation, what with Alaska being so close and all…

Doesn’t one have to have some sort of law enforcement background to run the FBI?

Doesn’t one have to be competent to be President?

All bets are off. The entire chain of succession is contaminated with ties to Russia. We will fall into crisis. The rich will kill us all off like they have wanted to for almost a hundred years. This country will never be good again, we will become the poorest nation ever witnessed in human history.

John Pistole might be a consideration as well.

Good thing too, I’ve been waiting for this all my life, and I was beginning to give up hope.

Gosh, even Fox News is reporting on this.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/09/muslim-ban-language-scrubbed-from-trump-campaign-website.html

A 2016 press release calling for a ban on Muslim immigration was scrubbed from the Trump campaign website Monday – just as the White House press secretary was quizzed on the existence of the page amid a court battle over the president’s controversial travel ban.

The website’s URL was still valid Tuesday and goes to a Trump campaign page, but the text once under the heading of “DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION” had disappeared by Monday afternoon.

What’s the point? We lost any chance for a future when Donald Trump was elected, six months ago to the date. The darkness will last for forty years and every single country will be ahead of us socioeconomically by then. All the carbon we are pumping into the atmosphere will remain there for ten million years because we had a denier at the exact moment the tipping point is happening. Jeff Sessions is already jailing people who have criticized him, it’s a matter of time before he starts exterminating racial minorities and stoners like some reincarnation of Heinrich Himmler. But no one will believe me, since 95% of the internet is polluted with alt-right wingers that have normalized and enabled fascist behavior we fought a war to discredit. Nothing is going to change. If it does, it will make us all worse off.
