Media's Flynn-Russia Narrative Collapsing
2017-02-16
h/t Instapundit
The media narrative that recently ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was involved in nefarious -- nay, sinister and possibly treasonous!!! -- dealings in his December call with the Russian ambassador is quickly collapsing, as CNN reports that the FBI will not be pursuing any criminal investigation involving Flynn's phone call.

So too is the hype that the Trump campaign was riddled with contacts with Russian intelligence, as reported yesterday by The New York Times.
Which, rather, brings to the fore the question "Why was Trump admin so quick to ask for his resignation?". Something smells.

#7  Interestingly, the infamous telecom occurred before the inauguration, so the emptysuit hisself, Obumble, authorized the wiretap so this is a Democratically orchestrated hit.

The Klingons et al were after Flynn since before the election because he deigned to talk to Trump about anything.

#6  This is why primetime commentary is so useless. First the Fake News then the circle of pundits being outraged about each other's faux outrage. Useless parasites at best, poisonous vermin normally.

#4  We know the data he gave the VP had omissions. Whether this was by accident or not, we do not know.

Lying to the VP.

#1  Excellent work done here by Mr Poole. As for questions regarding swift action - swift is a judgement call. The fact is as discussed here, Flynn had his weaknesses - being a Russian mole just wasn't one of em. This was a forced error and that's a shame
