Flynn lied, the con artist lied, they all lied!

[someoneyouknow]

Washington (CNN) Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates is prepared to testify before a Senate panel next week that she gave a forceful warning to the White House regarding then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn nearly three weeks before he was fired, contradicting the administration's version of events, sources familiar with her account tell CNN.

In a private meeting January 26, Yates told White House Counsel Don McGahn that Flynn was lying when he denied in public and private that he had discussed US sanctions on Russia in conversations with Russian Ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak. Flynn's misleading comments, Yates said, made him potentially vulnerable to being compromised by Russia, according to sources familiar with her version of events. She expressed "serious concerns" to McGahn, making it clear -- without making a recommendation -- that Flynn could be fired.

Goebbels immediately pounced on these proposed comments saying, Yates "wanted to give a 'heads up' to us on some comments that may have seemed in conflict with what he (Flynn) had sent the Vice President."

Despite this "heads up", the con artist regime went ahead and nominated Flynn who was already in hot water for having an illegal, unprotected network connection installed in his office at the Pentagon which was bleeding information left and right. Apparently being told about the possibility of Flynn, the National Security Advisor, being compromised by the same government which colluded with the con artist campaign to interfere with the U.S. election wasn't a big enough deal breaker. It took three weeks of continuous drum pounding about the collusion, and his subsequent lies about not talking to the Russians, before Flynn was fired.

When asked about everything that went on with the Flynn nomination, the con artist replied, "I feel badly for him. It's all Obama's fault."

I'd like to know how Trump came to feel that he could plausibly blame Obama for Flynn's security clearance. Did he think of that himself, or did someone else suggest it to him?

UPDATE

The Senate committee investigating collusion between the con artist's campaign and Russia has now subpoenaed Flynn for all documents he has related to his interactions with Russian officials. Previously the committee had only sent a letter asking him for the information. Now they are demanding.

Every day the investigation picks up more steam.

‘Mainstreamed lying to a degree that defies imagination’: GOP strategist Steve Schmidt slams Trump on Comey lies

“It’s unprecedented, shocking,” Schmidt said of the current situation. “An enormous abuse of power by the President of the United States. Any Republican member of Congress who takes the president [and] his spokespeople’s assertions that this action occurred because Director Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton is either a fool or has so lost sight in this era of tribal politics of their responsibilities to the country that they’ve become faithless to their oaths.”

Schmidt went on to explain that it would likely require the election of a Democratic Congress to hold Trump accountable.

“My old colleague Mark Salter, a longtime chief of staff to Senator John McCain, may have hit the nail on the head today when he said… perhaps we need a Democratic Congress to protect the national security of the United States,” he said. “So for Republicans, there are few that give you hope that the country comes first.”

Later in the segment, Schmidt emphasized that the American public cannot trust a single word that comes from the Trump White House given its record for spouting falsehoods.

“This White House has mainstreamed lying to a degree that just beggars the imagination,” he said. “Across the board, every person who walks out of that White House stands in the briefing room on the North Lawn has lied to the American people.”

thank goodness Obama and the Clinton's never lied. Nor any member of their staffs or Administrations or family. That they didn't make deals with foreign nations to undermined our security or the human rights of others in the world. No way. These people were angels who never lied to Congress or to the People in any way or took money from corrupt governments or business leaders. Obama and the Clinton's are models of honest upright patriotic citizens who never got rich off political office. They always put the U. S. first in thoughts and deeds. They never tried to con the citizens of this country in any way, but always were upright and truthful in every way. Criminal activity never entered their way of doing business. They believed in the Constitution and all its freedoms. These are the kind of people we can all point to with pride and say we want our children to be like them. (then grab a bucket to heave into for those words will gag a horse.)
