The man who chanted “Lock Her Up” and ranted against Hillary Clinton during the GOP Convention just resigned the job of National Security Advisor. If I were to talk to a foreign, adversarial power about what the United States Government might or might not do in the future, subverting the action of the current government, I’d be sent to prison for treason.
Flynn chanted “Lock her Up” and then undermined our government with the Russians. I do not believe for a minute Flynn just dreamed up this brilliant plan. Somebody told him to do this. His resignation is not the end. It is just the beginning.
We used to rail about Benghazi. Now with Trump in office not even a month we get a Benghazi-sized scandal every day. Fortunately, this government won’t get much governing done with all the drama. And in this case, that’s probably a good thing.
We can but hope that no governing happens.
Don’t let smoke and mirrors distract us from the long-term (blackmail perhaps) Russian connection which is much deeper than this week’s Flynn affair — but Flynn may give up Trump and his involvement to save his own skin. Who bets Flynn “disappears” before that happens?
I haven’t thought of that one, but it would be right out of the Russian playbook.
