Democrats demand that Flynn’s resignation spur broader Russia investigation

Democrats hold no levers of power in Washington, but they have pulled out their megaphones to demand that Mr. Flynn’s resignation open the first chapter — not the last — of investigations into contacts between Trump aides and Moscow — during and after Mr. Trump’s campaign for president.

“Nothing about this resignation, or resignations that could occur in the future, precludes the Senate Intelligence Committee from continuing to investigate Gen. Flynn, or any other campaign official who may have had inappropriate and improper contacts with Russian officials prior to the election,” said Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It is clear that our task is more urgent than ever.”

I am so sick of hearing that overused cliche.


While I think this thing wasn't handled well, it's not Watergate.

The media and the Marxists Rats will make it far far worse than Water Gate and the RINOs in Congress will be more then happy to help.

The War on Peaceful Transition continues.

A coup d'état, also known simply as a coup, or an overthrow, is the sudden and forced seizure of a state, usually instigated by a small group of the existing government establishment to depose the established regime and replace it with a new ruling body. A coup d'état is considered successful when the usurpers establish their dominance. If a coup fails, a civil war may ensue.

Melodramatic, yeah. But also a pretty good description of whats going on.

So right now the state of play is that the House is not investigating Flynn and it is looking like the Senate will.

The the question becomes what authority does the Senate actually have to do this as conversations between Flynn and Trump are certainly covered by executive privilege. The most likely explanation is that Mitch McConnell is saying whatever he thinks he needs to say to avoid pain and in the end will do what he does best: nothing.
