Concerning all of the media blow up of Gen. Flynn

[mmckee1952]

Concerning all of the media blow up of Gen. Flynn and the Trump Whitehouse over the conversation between Flynn and the Russian ambassador, it’s been stated by the FBI that Flynn was within his position’s bounds to be in contact with the Russian ambassador.
.
What really needs to be done is the illegally leaked transmitted scripts that were secret to the media are investigated to ascertain who the people who disclosed these conversations were. These leaks are a direct violation of the Espionage Act and 18 USC 798 and a grand jury needs to be conducted to find who willfully leaked these items and be held accountable for the criminal actions.
.
Granted there are questions as to whether Flynn should have been more forthcoming to the VP is regards to his conversation with the Russian ambassador and if he did lie to the VP, then that is grounds to be asked for his resignation.

In the opening sentence of your post it only reinforces the fact that the media and anti's do not care about the truth or legality of knowledge. They want to stir the mud and that is what they have accomplished.

You know the conversations were benign because if they weren't, the quotes would have been leaked as well since the Left prefers to add insult to injury.

Knuckling under to innuendo is weakness. But Trump in today's press conference made clear that his reason for removing Flynn was the poor quality of Flynn's statements to Pence. There is no excuse for "not recalling" the exact details of what was discussed and what each party said in such important conversations. If Flynn had been so in command of his AO, he would have deserved Trump's support.

OTOH, the recently revealed moves by Zero to cut a deal with Iran before he was inaugurated were real criminal acts.
