The CIA Really Is Out to Get General Flynn (more to the story)

How come no-one is accusing NSA Director Michael Flynn of taking bribes from Turkey's dictator Recep Erdogan? Not long ago, they did. Last November 18, Commentary Magazine's Noah Rothman called Flynn a "dubious choice" for the National Security Council because his consulting company had a Turkish client, adding that Flynn’s views on Turkey raised a “conflict of interest.” Flynn had published an article in The Hill on Nov. 8 warning that America's dalliance with the messianic Turkish Islamist and alleged coup plotter Fethullah Gulen might undermine the country's relationship with NATO, at a time when Russia was giving Turkey the full-court press.

On Dec. 2, I wrote in Asia Times that Commentary's Rothman probably was stooging for a CIA disinformation campaign against Flynn. Not only did Flynn propose to deep-six Gulen, a longstanding friend of the CIA, but he had blown the whistle on CIA incompetence in Syria.

And, how will they take Petraeus?  Is he so compromised that they will accept him?

That hasn't been revealed and might not be. I think Flynn either stepped over a line or straddled it or bowed out to end the attacks on the administration.

It seems that he acted foolishly, in any case.

I heard people saying already last Friday/Saturday, that Flynn was on his way out, he'd have to be fired because he lied to VP Mike Pence.

So some say this is the reason, others say it is not so clear.

Glad they took out Flynn. He's a conspiracy theory loving moron.


Some idiot on FR brought up the fact that he mentioned Pizzagate and was taken out.

I think Flynn resigned to save the Trump administration from having to go through the whole debacle of "trying him", while the media breathlessly reports it every day, all day. 

This is only going to embolden the Left - now that they have found a winning strategy - no one in Trump's administration is safe now.

Yes, (shockingly) I agree with you on both counts.  Blood in the water and all that.  I do wish that Trump had stood by him, allowing him to resign emboldens and empowers the bad guys.

Read his resignation letter. He tells you in his own words.

Maybe its a good thing Flynn has resigned.

But it'd also be a very good thing if the administration went through the CIA with a shop vac and cleaned that snake pit out.

I'll puke if he picks Betray-Us.

It's behind a paywall.

I will too, and I will be very critical of Trump if he picks him.

Flynn did this to himself
