[quote=RWE]He resigned because he lost confidence with his boss.
The DNC talking points are not the issue.
Are you willing to let the fact that the dems have something to bitch about get in the way of an operating administration? if that's the case I'm fine with it. Last I read Trump said he was more than willing to ride this out and stick with Flynn. Now maybe that was just working the press and allowing Flynn to fall on his sword. Its hard to tell who says what when you have to filter opinion on what is a lie /what is the truth coming from sources that are antagonistic toward each other. [/quote What happens to you if you bald-faced lie to your boss on a very substantive matter of importance to the company, and get caught in it causing your company to lose reputation or money? is that assuming he went rogue or was acting on behalf of Trump? It's a very simple question about what happens to YOU. You get fired, or allowed to resign, don't you? Simple yes or no. ok , I'll play along. I would be fired immediately. But you're applying standard rules to the Trump presidency. Trump could easily say , screw you guys, he's my guy and I'm keeping him. Its not like Trump is concerned about credibility with the press or for that matter, a congress hell bent on continuing a cold war mentality. Okay, so you would be fired immediately. Good; your boss/company has integrity. You don't want the POTUS and his administration to have at least that degree of integrity? He got caught in a lie to his bosses. Done deal.

What can he do about the leaks? Nothing. Literally every bureaucrat in the government hates him. Once any directive, order, or even informal guidance leaves his office it is in the hands of people who despise him and want him to fail and is subject to a thousand leaks in hopes of thwarting him.
I suspect Priebus might be source closer to home, but that does nothing to change the above.

I'm going to call my 6 year old niece, I need someone that can stay on point. These f'kers are making my head hurt. Flynn got caught in a bald faced lie to his bosses. They could no longer trust him, so he's gone. WTF is so difficult for many to understand about this? When it was common knowledge that Flynn lied and apologigized for it, you were still claiming " IF he lied......". Now you two "elites" are frustrated with the commoners? Funny to watch y'all.😀

Funny to watch y'all.😀 I was not claiming "if"; I was stating that "if" he lied he needed to go. There is a substantial difference there, and I've not waivered once on that. "Elites"? Holy schit that is weak. It's called integrity - if he lied to his bosses, which he did, he deserved to be gone. All the rest of the horsechit about the MSM, or D talking points, or "tell them to stick it", means nothing - it all boils down to whether or not he had violated the trust of the POTUS/VPOTUS. That's what was stated early on, what stood, and what still stands. Pretty simple, really.

This schit is only as hard as you make it, but by God you're trying as hard as you can.

I'm more than comfortable with what I grasp on this discussion.
Where I made my mistake was forgetting who I was discussing it with.

Hell......he is still trying to school me and I'm the one who started the thread.😀 You know, it is reported from a credible source that Trump was warned that Flynn was subject to blackmail over this Russian conversation and hired him anyway. That's troubling.

And this leads to other questions. Was Flynn acting on his own, with the knowledge or direction of others?
What did Trump know and when did he know it?

Well, this is disappointing. Thought the man would've had more sense.
Gotta wonder how the conversation with the Russian was "cleared" by intelligence if it entered forbidden territory. Something clearly ain't right here.
What fresh Hell is this?

I like this about Trump, he won't put up with a distraction.
Look at Chris Christie, who cold have been player in the admin. Bridgegate was a distraction, so he got the boot. Flynn is a distraction. Hit the road. All done before the Left can get wound up about it.
Trump is about The Mission. He has a mission in mind. He knows what he want's to accomplish and will push distractins aside and is not defeated by setbacks. That's the businessman in him.

I agree with you, but the difference is that the D.C. Press corps exists solely for the purpose of bringing down Administrations and "distractions" are tools of the trade.
Trump needs to STFU. People can start rumors, and they will, but his team can't leak what they don't know.
