31. Here you go/UPDATE the Twitter account is Bogus

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/319401-new-york-times-newsmax-fall-victim-to-fake-flynn-twitter-account

The New York Times and Newsmax Media both fell victim to a fake Twitter account that purports to be former national security advisor Michael Flynn, with both publications quoting tweets from the fake account about his recent resignation.

Flynn resigned from his position late Monday, after reports that Flynn discussed sanctions with Russia's ambassador — and then mislead Vice President Pence about the content of the talk.

Both the New York Times and Newsmax reported on the fake account, erroneously quoting the account's claim that Flynn viewed himself as the "sole scapegoat."

While I accept full responsibility for my actions, I feel it is unfair that I have been made the sole scapegoat for what happened. (1/2)

@GenMikeFlynn 11 hours ago

But if a scapegoat is what's needed for this Administration to continue to take this great nation forward, I am proud to do my duty.

NOTE: I guess Ms. Pelosi fell for the hoax Twitter account as well.

[angrychair]

27. Pisses me off

All that bullshit mudslinging directed at Obama and Clinton by these republican assholes for years on end and when they have an actual conspiracy and actual malfeasance, they drag their feet or worse, ignore it.
It's all "Benghazi" this or "email" that but in the face of an actual significant national security threat they wither and withdraw. Fuck them!
