#1 Donald was asked on Air Force about Flynn, and lied, saying he did not know anything about Flynn issue
Its not as clear why embattled Russia-tainted National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn was with him in West Palm Beach. But it raises even more questions when you throw in the fact that Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev also flew into West Palm Beach this weekend.New of Michael Flynns Russian collusion first broke on Friday. By that time it would have been too late to yank Flynn from Donald Trumps trip to West Palm Beach. But the question is why Flynn had been included in the West Palm Beach trip to begin with. By all accounts he was already on the outs with Trump before the Russia revelation, with Trump having already fired Flynns son from the White House over pizza-gate.
Perhaps Flynn was included on the Palm Beach trip as a formality in his role as National Security Advisor, even though theres little to suggest that he has any remaining input on national security. But heres the intriguing part. As we reported on Saturday, internet sleuths had pieced together based on flight plans that Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev flew all the way from Switzerland to West Palm Beach on Saturday, while Trump and Flynn just happened to be there. This story becomes more intriguing now that its been confirmed that Flynn was in on Trumps West Palm Beach trip.
Rybolovlev has previous documented real estate dealings with Trump. And its widely suspected (though not proven) that Vladimir Putin has been using Rybolovlev as some kind of go-between with Trump during the election collusion. Which comes back to the question of why Michael Flynn whom we now know is a Russian patsy made the trip with Trump to West Palm Beach. Was Flynn meeting with Rybolovlev to discuss the fallout from the wiretap revelations? If so, did Trump know about it? Were still working to confirm why Flynn was officially included on this trip, and at what point he was added to the roster.

This is going straight to Hell - and gathering speed. MAN, we're now witnessing a great unraveling.
