Report: Michael Flynn May Be Fired Over Russia Calls
Source: The Daily Beast
National Security Adviser Mike Flynn may be in danger of losing his job, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The administration is reportedly weighing whether to dismiss Flynn over his controversial contacts with Russian officials and the publicity surrounding it. Flynn has allegedly apologized to President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who are said to have disagreed over the appropriate response to the situation. Hes apologized to everyone, an official told the Journal. On Dec. 29, Flynn spoke by phone with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and initially denied that he discussed new sanctions imposed by the Obama administration. Flynn later admitted that the conversation included mention of the sanctions. Transcripts of his phone calls corroborate that Flynn and Kislyak indeed discussed the matter. It reportedly also became clear that Flynn has had more than one phone call on the issue, despite the White House initially denying those claims. Trump has told close advisers that although the controversy is unwelcome, he is going to look into the matter further before making a decision. Trump has also said he wants to keep moving forward with Flynn. Trump adviser Steve Bannon reportedly had dinner with Flynn over the weekend and has decided to keep him in his current post but is said to be ready to fire him if it becomes necessary.

(11,870 posts)Now they are dangling him to keep his mouth shut, but I think they will have to burn him and pretend that he is the only "MOLE" in the White house, and they are all clean. What they will do if he sings after he is cut loose is another matter.
Does anyone think this guy will go like a Roman in a warm bath with a sharp dagger, or does he fold when they press him with a blindfold and a cigarette?

(35,077 posts)No apology to the American People for this? No apology to the Pizza Parlors of the United States for promoting Pizzagate? No apology to Muslim Americans for fabricating conspiracy theories about them and dehumanizing them?
All of these things should have gotten him fired, and frankly, if anyone else is doing the things he and his son are doing, they would be charged with a number of offenses ranging from inciting riots to treason.

(13,043 posts)"Dumbo" is behind this collusion with the russians, so if he does in fact fire Flynn it will only be to cover his ass...at least for the time being till all of this catches up to him. The wagons are circling around him bigly.

It's pretty obvious from that statement that Bannon is the one calling all the shots in the WH.

(38,436 posts)What do you think?......did the U.S. intelligence agencies.....record.."all contact calls?
Is Flynn someone who hates the U.S.A..and........
would ....work with an outside government to elect someone???
would Flynn.....think or not think that.....all contact calls were recorded
Now....who was the President of the United States at the time this took place?
....................Did that President of the United States have a brain?
....................Do you suppose the intelligence agencies knew what to do?
....................Is this fellow ...Flynn? (is that his name??....guilty of treason?
....................What would the Republicans do and say if exactly the same thing happened under the
previous President of the United States of America?....What do you think?????

I think they're going to find out why Republicans pushed 'retired' Flynn at trump for his close admin. He seems to have had a friendly relationship with those Russians during his retirement

(1,685 posts)This is what happens when you keep this guy:
1. The intelligence agencies go silent and do not inform the misadministration about anything
2. Our allies, who normally share intelligence with us, will stop doing that since they might be giving up the source of the intelligence and people could get killed
3. More retirements and resignations from the best people in the agencies
