(90,780 posts)Trump probably would have stayed away from Flynn had Obama praised him. That's how his sick mind works.

(590 posts)It makes no sense for the Obama administration to undermine itself. They are truly grasping at anything here.

(431 posts)They always talk about accountability but Ive yet to it from them. They think accountability is blaming someone else or deflecting the issue. I dont understand how their supporters remain supportive. I mean hell, most of their policies end up hurting their constituents.
sorry for the rant.

(14,971 posts)ormer President Obama warned President Donald Trump against hiring Mike Flynn as his national security adviser, three former Obama administration officials tell NBC News.
The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.
A senior Trump administration official acknowledged Monday that Obama raised the issue of Flynn, saying the former president made clear he was "not a fan of Michael Flynn." Another official said Obamas remark seemed like it was made in jest.

Now they're saying they didn't believe Obama's warning because they thought he was joking. What a farce.

(82,849 posts)Their asinine excuses fall apart like cheap toilet paper, don't they? "Flynn never did nothin' wrong." Yeah, so why did he lie to the FBI about all the nothin' he didn't do wrong? Four-year-olds caught with their hand in the cookie jar up to the shoulder hear this nonsense and say, "Pretty weak, dude."
