White House Waited 18 Days To Fire Michael Flynn After Warning | The Last Word | MSNBC

[unclewatt]

when will the indictments start .... just wondering

[truhawaii]

Blackmailed? No need for that when your on their team and being emailed.

I guess Michael Flynn's walking papers got lost in the mail. Or maybe Michael Flynn doesn't have a Twitter account.

Impeachment is just around the corner,

[EMPOWERMENTalist]

It is imperative that the Senate Intelligence committee hold a separate hearing behind closed doors, and get former acting AG Sally Yates to "spill the beans" on classified information that she cuould not share in public. HOW VERY FASCINATING!

[Bella-czod]

It is so refreshing to see and hear an incredibly honest person, along with intelligent, speaking up for the Constitution. I'm not sure that the government remembers that there is one still. Maybe they have, but are they able to read it? They weren't able to read the healthcare bill. 🤔

[Vinddraken]

But but Obama gave him a job!

Well he got fired and Obama warned Trump.

Oh i thought he was joking when he warned me about Flynn!

I want to believe that there are good people.. that maybe humans on the whole are better than our worse impulses. When one sees, however how the GOP conducts themselves and regular people--our friends and neighbors!--defend them based party politics.. I feel like we're all doomed.

[sophiejameson]

Speaking as a British outsider, I find it astonishing some Republicans are far more interested in the leak than in the story itself. Surely it's the national security implications that should be of main concern?

Pence was on the transition team. He knew about Flynn, no doubt.

[gopium]

My guess is that is its Jared who's the leak, because he's sick and tired of the spicy Cheeto giving him new jobs every week. All poor Jared wanted was to skim a few million here and there, and follow in his father in laws footsteps of groping and golfing. But no the spicy one was upset that he took his precious away from him and couldn't get the image out of his head that Jared is sullying his daughter😂. Hey look stranger things have happened we have the imbecile in chief in charge of missiles and chocolate cake.

[albertricks]

All it ever amounts to is an embarrassment. Nothing really. Just a silly political embarrassment. Nothing serious. Nothing at all! I've seen it before in Amer. Gov't. Time & time again. Just go back to picking your nose people. Keep trying to find something on TV that isn't partially censored. What a country!

[dymphnasainte]

is thiss enough 4 Trump supporters or do some( those still pro trump) need a hit in the head....REALITY did not expect this type of ignorance by some

[jopenny]

What are you people going to do when all this turns out to be nothing? I'm guessing most of you have been sitting
home living on freebies....or those of you who ARE working have health care from your jobs.
