Looking forward to seeing how Trump responds to the inevitable question(s) he will be asked about Flynn during the scheduled 2 pm presser.

No one except leakers need to be fired. They’re exaggerating how badly things have gone.

I would guess he talked in a general way and not specific terms.

According to the ZeroHedge article, "Trump, Bannon Said To Weigh Firing Mike Flynn Over Russian Phone Calls Scanda":

"Flynn initially said that in a conversation Dec. 29 with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, he didn’t discuss sanctions imposed that day by the outgoing Obama administration, which were levied in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Flynn now concedes that he did, administration officials said, after transcripts of his phone calls show as much. He also admits he spoke with the ambassador more than once on Dec. 29, despite weeks of the Trump team’s insisting it was just one phone call, officials said."

So, those would be in addition to these existing sanctions?

Trump campaigned on bringing back integrity and accountability to the admin. If one of you senior advisers lies to you, they need to go.

DO NOT RESIGN! Doing so would give the lunatic left a major victory and embolden them to go after others on bogus charges. If they see you sweat and find blood in the water, they are just like a pack of wolves and sharks, they show no mercy whatsoever. Do not resign!!!

Word is sometime during the election President Trump asked General Flynn to set up a phone call with Putin.

General Flynn was talking to the Russian Embassy the day before and the Embassy simply asked General Flynn what was Trump’s position. They wanted to know if Trump was hostile or not. General Flynn said no it’s to work together to get rid of ISIS, but Trump would explain it.

That’s it and the media is having a conniption fit about it. There is nothing there in other words.

I think it is the Pence/Priebus/Ryan wing trying to fight back against the possible replacement of Priebus for leaking, etc.?

If transcripts of a POTUS telephone call can get leaked this is nothing. They better get these leaks fixed before something REALLY important gets out.

I thought the phone call transcripts said otherwise.
