From The Independent (UK):
Famed Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein says that the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn could end up revealing a cover-up of alleged connections between President Donald Trump's team and Russia.
There, he is central to what the FBI believes is a cover-up going on among people close to the president of the United States about what happened with the Trump campaign and Russia, Mr Bernstein, who is now a CNN commentator, said. "The FBI, the congressional investigators are trying to learn what happened. And Flynn is almost like the ball of yarn that begins to unspool and is key to understanding it."
Mr Bernstein said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, now that he is leading the Justice Department's probe into Russia's role alleged in the election, will eventually see that there is a cover-up as well.
"He is going to see, Oh my god, theres a cover-up going on," Bernstein said.

(51,658 posts)The reason they gave for firing Flynn was total bullshit, especially after Shitler defended him for three weeks and said Flynn was just doing his job.

(51,658 posts)It is a cover up for Flynn because they are also desperately trying to cover up their own crimes.

(51,129 posts)Until Congress serves a subpoena, there is nothing there. They can lie with impunity.
The trump White House's real exposure is likely being revealed though. They were warned about Flynn and they appointed him anyway and he turns out to be a foreign agent. Why did they want him as National Security Advisor? Because he is part of the coup?

(8,012 posts)They're covering for themselves. They knew this and didn't care. I bet the White House shredders are running non-stop.

(9,600 posts)The answer is you do not. Ask for the FBI's background check documents. There are most likely some false statements in there.

(5,730 posts)Him away in a second if that would make their problems go away. They are covering for themselves because once this convuluted ball of thread starts unwinding, they are all in trouble. Now, they just want him to stay silent, as does Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if he, like Chaffetz, came down with an odd and timely illness, but maybe his will be fatal...Putin style.

They would like to make him go away, but firing him wasn't enough to make the press stop dogging his connections.
