He knows his conversations were recorded. He knows what is on them. He denied any contact with Russians, denied any discussion about sanctions, then suddenly had to resign.
News is reporting, immunity has not yet been granted. Flynn is on video saying people asking for immunity to discuss Clinton's email indicate guilt. Whoops. News also reporting a reminder, there is something wrong with his being an agent of Turkey and forgetting to put that on his security clearance forms. |

I wish I was watching more closely this morning to see who it was on CNN saying he hoped the Senate committee would get to the bottom of why Russia was favoring Clinton. And he said it repeatedly.

Yeah, and there are a lot of alt-right people in Congress. But still, a political deal to keep a POTUS out of jail seems to me to be something the POTUS must have respect in order to earn it. Who respects this guy? People like Pence and Ryan kiss his ass to get stuff, but respect? I don't see it.
Speaking of a different time, were you around during Nixon? There was a big issue of, how could we send a POTUS to jail. I sure don't see that now. Hell, they chanted "lock her up" at Trump's rallies. No respect there for sure. |

Despite Ol' Tape Tie's many questionable actions, if not full-on transgressions, there may not yet be anything to base impeachment on. And the House, fanatic as they largely are, will need something clearly ironclad before they risk their necks, especially in this political climate.
Furthermore, I would prefer saner heads in high places reserve mentioning the I-word until the time it's appropriate. Those opposed to Don Wan should consider how crying wolf can water down its potency and value*. *Metaphor mixed? Check. |

I disagree with the highlighted. IMO there merely has to be less damage to the GOP in striking a political deal to keep a POTUS out of prison than there is in him going to prison.
In any case IMO it's never going to get anywhere near that far. Any investigation that starts to find tangible evidence will quickly be derailed by GOP committee members and sent off to investigate the Obama White House instead. |

Spicer's press briefing today he's trying hard to make Clinton the one with Russian connections, repeating the lies again about pay to play, repeating the misstatements about the uranium sale.
They've been given the talking points memo to sell that narrative along with the attempts to deflect the issue to Obama spying "for political purposes". Spicer is now trying to use the misstated story about what Farkus supposedly said even though she herself said she was quoted out of context.

The emotional stability is the best part.
after @MajorCBS asks about Flynn, Trump leaves signing ceremony without signing executive orders. Pence went and picked it up from desk |

I don't like Pence very much, but I feel a little sorry for him since he has to clean up so many of Donald's messes.

I think Russia and Trump are aligned on the Muslim thing.
Even if Russia is supporting the Taliban financially - which I find possible - it's in stark contrast to their overwhelming anti-Muslim attitude that has emerged after the Chechen Republic's secession attempt. Russia is quite enthusiastic about depicting their police state a Muslim-proofed 'security'. |
