    Flynn scuttled military operation in a way that aligned with Turkish interests

    https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...XWmnTjg2dphvOQ


    Former national security adviser may have retroactively registered as a foreign agent, but that doesn’t make it any less shady that he gave foreign policy advice which happened to align with the interests of his clients while working for President Donald Trump.
    Flynn advised the Trump administration against a military operation in the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa because it would have involved America working with Syrian Kurdish forces, which the Turkish government did not want the United States to do, according to a report by McClatchy. Flynn had already been paid more than $500,000 by the Turkish government at the time to represent its interests, even though he was acting in an official capacity as a top foreign policy-maker for the United States when he gave this advice.

    Yep - He also told WH council Don McGahn that he was under investigation.

    He claims to have a good story to tell. I bet he does and that he is highly motivated to tell it.

    I look forward to his copping a plea so that rugged hero patriots like bo and bethere might hear it.


    Since we now know that Trump KNEW in advance of his fbi investigation I bet that story is amazing.

    If he's willing to toss Tangerine Tornado, Manafort, Stone, Page and the entire bunch under the bus - I'd be willing to give him immunity.

    He can no longer do much damage to our country.

    "Rugged hero patriot"? I like that!

    If Abraham Lincoln were alive today he'd be a Democrat.

    Liberals are very creative in the ways they translate and analyze current events.

    He doesn't seem to be the kind of co-conspirator who would be inclined to take one for the team.
