Paging Mike Flynn. Are you being thrown under the bus for a reason?

Trump associates who suddenly volunteered to testify b4 Congress: -Page -Manafort -Stone Trump associates who are awfully quiet: -Flynn




Suddenly, Manafort, Stone & Page all say they want to talk to Congress about #TrumpRussia. Nothing from Flynn yet. Fill in the blanks.



Flynn has been really silent these days, but the National Enquirer which has close ties to Trump just threw him under the bus.

Ex-CIA Director: Mike Flynn and Turkish Officials Discussed Removal of Erdogan Foe From U.S.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, while serving as an adviser to the Trump campaign, met with top Turkish government ministers and discussed removing a Muslim cleric from the U.S. and taking him to Turkey, according to former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey, who attended, and others who were briefed on the meeting.

The discussion late last summer involved ideas about how to get Fethullah Gulen, a cleric whom Turkey has accused of orchestrating last summer’s failed military coup, to Turkey without going through the U.S. extradition legal process, according to Mr. Woolsey and those who were briefed.

Mr. Woolsey told The Wall Street Journal he arrived at the meeting in New York on Sept. 19 in the middle of the discussion and found the topic startling and the actions being discussed possibly illegal.

The Turkish ministers were interested in open-ended thinking on the subject, and the ideas were raised hypothetically, said the people who were briefed. The ministers in attendance included the son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the country’s foreign minister, foreign-lobbying disclosure documents show.

Mr. Woolsey said the idea was “a covert step in the dead of night to whisk this guy away.” The discussion, he said, didn’t include actual tactics for removing Mr. Gulen from his U.S. home. If specific plans had been discussed, Mr. Woolsey said, he would have spoken up and questioned their legality.

Woolsey was part of Trump transition who abruptly backed out in January from Trump Team. Now he spilled beans about Flynn plotting with Turkish dictator to kidnap the Cleric who is legally in US . But Woolsey kept mum from Sept until now when he is suddenly part of targeting Flynn as fall guy for being a shady foreign agent.

If he's being thrown under the bus, does that mean it's so the rest of them can walk free?
