He literally started this hearing by following the path laid down by the tweet Trump made about the hearings today. He is absolutely the most guilty son of a bitch here, even if he's not as outwardly rotten as Kennedy or Cruz.

I want a position with no responsibility that allows me to bang congressional interns how do I get this, do I need to run for office?

Graham has been almost a voice of reason in the GOP and about half of his questions were actually semi decent.

No, Trump is hiring any warm body. You can just apply for a spot at the White House. You'll wind up underdeputy of banging.

So if Flynn did something, that can't be disclosed due to confidential sourcing, but the Russian's were aware of? Some kind of underage honeypot operation? Hooker strangler? Seems like it'd have to be both insidious and depraved considering this dude was a General.

If he cut a deal with the Russians. Any kind of deal. Its a REAL BIG PROBLEM.

What kicked all this off was when the Obama administration kicked a bunch of Russian agents out of the country and announced increased sanctions, Flynn hopped on the phone that day to the Kremlin and had a chat. His position was that they never discussed the new sanctions and the agents who were kicked out.

Keep in mind every time we imposed sanctions (like the ones from the Crimea incident) or simply voiced displeasure over what ever bullshit they had stuck their nose into, they threw a fit.

Yet they didn't over this.

The implication is that Flynn struck a deal where they were told to shut up and ride it out and Trump would make the sanctions go away. That is highly illegal. Which is where blackmail comes in. There Russians have it on tape and transcripts. So now, knowing that could essentially destroy Flynn and possibly Trump, he becomes a major liability. Anything and everything they want, he has to fork over so they don't tell the world what kind of fuckery he has been engaged in.

The terrifying thing is, if he did a back door weasel deal over sanctions, what else did he back door? Just how much poo poo has he done to screw the US. Also keep in mind, its not just about bailing them out of one incident. Its all the potential poo poo he did, and would have been able to do had he not been fired.

He may have dusted a few hookers, but he may have also tried to sell the US, its policies or secrets to the Russians.

DUBUQUE, Iowa — An Iowa congressman walked out of a television interview on Monday, declining to explain why his staff is pre-screening constituents who plan to attend his town hall meetings this week.

A few hours later, Rep. Rod Blum (R-Iowa) showed up at his town hall meeting where most of the pre-screened audience screamed at him.
