National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is in the hot seat. But the real target is President Trump and his foreign policy. Donald Trump was elected as a change agent by Americans unhappy with the trajectory of the country and with the cozy concord that exists between political adversaries in a Washington where the politicians find more in common with each other than with the American people. Donald Trump ran on a foreign policy platform that explicitly repudiated the disastrous bipartisan consensus of moral imperialism and international busybodyism that has prevailed for the last quarter century and that has cost the country dearly in blood and treasure.
Predictably, the defenders of the old regime are fighting a vicious rearguard action to undermine and discredit President Trump and the policies he represents. It is a shadow war waged with off the record leaks to media sources eager to damage the new administration and to staff the national security infrastructure with individuals hostile to Trumps America First policies.
The allegations against Flynn arising from his conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in late December amount to nothing. But for D.C. insiders, establishment media types, and Progressive Left activists (but I repeat myself) who still have not accepted the reality of a Trump presidency, Flynns communication with Russiansany Russians!represent the apotheosis of the Russian hacking theory they use to explain why the unlikeable and demonstrably corrupt Hillary Clinton lost the election. The narrative goes like this: Trump won the election because of Russian hacking (unproven but accepted as a self-evident truth) therefore any communications with Trump appointees amounts either to payback for the election or an example of nefarious Russian influence on the government.

Trump needs to wisen up about preibus. Ask himself why the media doesnt attack reince.
They stuck their necks out and they will likely get a return volley.
President Trump should $hitcan Priebus and put in even stronger Nationalists.
It was a coordinated attack, but I doubt that it will hurt President Trump significantly. Putting the entire staff on notice over yet another establishment risk will likely make the Trump Administration stronger.
(1) Always tell the truth to the President and the VP, and be careful what if anything you say to anyone else.
(2) Always expect our intelligence community to undermine the President with every resource at their disposal.
(3) Even if you did nothing wrong, always protect the President, if necessary at the cost of resigning with a taint on your record - saving America is far more important than protecting your personal resume.
Time for very public Trump Administration movement on that Hillary Clinton private server/650,000 shadow state department emails, Anthony Weiner laptop exposing treason, pay to play, human trafficking, child porn, and more.
Job one needs to be to discover who the leakers are and totally destroy them.
Unfortunately, none of your three criteria apply to, or are adhered to, by the political class. It is people like Mike Flynn who are expected to fall on their swords to protect their betters. Been there, done that; didn’t get a t-shirt, but did get some pretty trinkets.
I think Flynn largely shot himself in the foot.
stepontopofus was circling the blood in the water, basically setting up the “when did the president know” impeachment...
all on the three week old report that flynn was vulnerable to black mail by the russians. aren’t we all vulnerable?
sheesh.
I really think some Dems believe if they are successful in “overturning election” (Trump impeachment/resignation), Hillary Clinton will magically become president.
...The allegations against Flynn arising from his conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in late December amount to nothing...
That’s what I am saying to myself.
Exactly.
And, to add: A full-blown investigation into George Soros, his associates and his affiliated organizations for acts of sedition. If Orban (Hungary) has the balls to go after Soros, it shouldn’t be a problem for Trump, right...?
MSNBC is all about impeachment this morning.
Unreal.
I agree, but have you noticed that they don’t attack Pence either?
I am very well aware of the loyalty that the political class shows to real Americans. That’s why so many of us voted against them in 2016. Still, I’m glad that General Flynn took the fall rather than allowing this nonsense to harm President Trump significantly. The most important thing in America over the next four years is shrinking FedGov, and Trump is our final peaceful opportunity to accomplish that essential goal.
NYPD has all that info.
Obama hold overs need to go and now.
All DOJ PROSECUTERS NEED TO BE FIRED NOW.
Yes. I should hope it is not a problem . . . why is it seeming to be a problem?
Soros, CIA frontman creation Obama, Clintons and who knows who else, are joined at the hip. Yet, now we are informed that we have a shadow government. Come on - it’s announced and declared sedition.
