His subpoena pen was not ready

Sad, weak, w/e. He only wanted to investigate Dem's.

Of course he will work at Fox.

EasyD thinks he knows better.

He is truly the Homer Simpson of Presidents

Oh yes

 

[Gattsu25]

It's rare for me to be right...Just had to share my surprise.

How is a special prosecutor that is still under Trump's chain of command (to Pelosi's point) considered anything approaching independent?

 

[Stinkles]

Rats. Sinking ship.

was leaving almost a month ago, and this was always the timing. I strongly suspect he's compromised in some way, because he's effectively abandoning a successful political career at its zenith, for no clear reason.

But the timing is not related to this week's events specifically.

"Stay strong" and don't reveal our secrets.

Comey was the Domino keeping the investigation behind closed doors. Now that trump knocked him down, The hornett nest that was the IC is now out from between the dominoes and they're all falling

 

[TS-08]

So...

2 people would know about this message. Flynn and Trumpy.

Flynn told some friends during a dinner, and that's how this eventually got to Yahoo News.

 

[jiiikoo]

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Or the message was legally obtained through a subpoena and its content leaked. That's where a bunch of this stuff is coming from. And the leaks are designed to make the people involved panic and try to spin too many plates at once. Every time they drop one (Comey memo, Trump request to drop investigation) it smashes on the floor and they now have to pick up the pieces.

I prefer advancing the narrative that the anonymous White House source is actually just Trump at least half the time.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Ha ha I was about to say.


Did a certain someone flip?

The thought of Flynn flipping is probably what's eating Trump more than anything. Trump knew he was compromised, choose to hire him anyways, pressured Comey to stop investigating him. Trump would not take all those risks to protect Flynn because 'he's a good guy'. Flynn has information.

 

[ebullientprism]

Flynn MUST have something on Trump.

 

[BobTheFork]

So...

Donald Trump didn't tell anyone about something he did?

No chance

 

[cakely]

President Snowflake is so pissed - he made the same tweet twice!

The orange shitstain got his phone back from whoever took it from him, just in time to undermine all his staff.

He's our greatest ally in the fight to get him out of the oval office.

 

[LiK]

Flynn MUST have something on Trump.

Of course. Just need to break him.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Trump really is running government like a business.

Too bad he can't pay off everyone or settle out of court this time!

 

[BitStyle]

Hmm

 

[plagiarize]

Remember last night when the Whitehouse claimed it was perfectly fine with a Special Counsel? And that it would get all this silliness out of the way?

I SURE DIDN'T EXPECT DONNIE TO TWEET THE OPPOSITE EARLY IN THE MORNING

I like to think after that carefully worded statement, Donnie went and looked up previous special investigators and the cases they presided over. After learning that they don't tend to expediate things (as that statement seemed to indicate was their expectation) he lost his shit.

That's my guess, but hey... even involving the President directly in the official response doesn't stop him contradicting it the next day.

There was only one move to make last night, and they pretty much made it. They fucked it up today.

Alright, so he heard someone on TV saying they go on for years.

 

[rec0ded1]

The dummy probably doesn't realize his tweets go on record and he directly shit on his official statement lololol.

 

[Darryl M R]

Must be a good amount of dirt to say no to a subpoena.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

EasyD in the house!

Edit: Ignore his typos, or don't

Except there was... right? The special council for Whitewater the the Monica Lewinsky shit. Or was that different? Cause I thought that while the name has changed over the years, special prosecutor, independent council, etc, it was all essentially the same job.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Alright, so he heard someone on TV saying they go on for years.

OK, back on track.

 

[TheCochese]

Looking at the Wikipedia page on this, maybe not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress

I think he's still angling for a deal, or it was decided he has to be the one to take the fall.

 

[theWB27]

Flynn with the stay strong.

 

[Bedlam]

I almost expect tomorrow's headline to be "Flynn fled to Russia" or something like that. Either that or he gets arrested.

So Flynn is the first of the bunch to go to jail.

Cool.
