Whoa..Malcolm Nance just said with CONFIDENCE on AM Joy that 1st one to break will be Mike Flynn!

Nance said that James Woolsey has dropped the 'dime' on him.
Flynn is in deep shit for (allegedly) discussing how to kidnap Erdogan foe Fethullah Gulen and fly him back to Turkey.
It's mind-blowing to me, how under every tRump slimy rock that's lifted, there's a criminal creepy-crawlie hiding!

Hang on folks, it's beyond WILD!

To me, it's inconceivable that he would risk the honor and sense of historic achievement that goes with his military accomplishments. But I guess he was dazzled by the $$$$$$$. I can imagine Putin whispering in one ear "they don't appreciate your service" while holding millions of rubles in front of him.

49. There are many paths to corruption, and they all start with "just a little won't hurt."
Sat Mar 25, 2017, 03:38 PM
Mar 2017

The classic temptation scenes in literature are often presented as a psychological seduction, a slow manipulation. Almost no one just wakes up one morning and says, "By golly, today is the day I sell out my nation." It takes some persuasion.

Flynn has a lot of resentment in him -- wasn't he passed over for a promotion and/or let go from his last job for not being a good manager? That's certainly something a spymaster could work with.

Look at all the Americans getting paid to appear on RT. Was Larry King the first? Good old Larry. They gave him a show. The Cold War is over, and our two countries are not enemies any more. So Thom Hartmann went over, and took their money. RT has by now collected a number of American Progressives, Greens, and Populists, and they all take money from the State-owned propaganda outlet of the former Soviet Union. No harm done, amirite? They don't write my scripts! Communism is dead; long live the oligarchy!

Except the harm done is they have become beards, unwitting or not, for Putin, who is a genuine enemy of ours -- and if they can't see that by now it says something very sad about people who used to be admired by the American Left.

As for General Flynn, who will be stripped of his rank and pension before this is all over, who knows what the beginning was, except resentment and anger no doubt played a part. Putin arranged for him to get "speaker's fees" -- and the general knew that was verboten. What went on before that we will no doubt find out some day, just as we are now finding out what happened after he really fell into the pit of corruption, ie, working with the Turks on a kidnap-murder.

So many paths. Power is a classic. In the myth of Jesus, Satan tempts him with the power -- to do good. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Jesus declined the offer.

their job is to advance the cause of the rich internationally by any means necessary, up to and including war. I find it, on the one hand quaint and humorous, and on the other hand, frightening that there are still people who do not realize this, including people in the service themselves. see General Smedley Butler for reference.

4. Woolsey turned On Flynn in the fall
Sat Mar 25, 2017, 11:58 AM
Mar 2017

Woolsey immediately reported the Flynn-Turkey meeting through a mutual friend to Biden. This was last fall, before the election. Certain that Biden and Obama would have acted on it. Would certainly have justified "wiretapping" Flynn for reasons not connected to Russia. Time to review comments by Comey and others with the perspective that some warrants did not involve Russia.

The Patriot Act makes things like this, basically legal (as long as it has the veneer of 'national security', it carries with it PLAUSABLE deniability). Cheney said he needed it, Obama said I can be trusted with it. The first was wrong, the second wasn't. But because we BELIVED the first lie, we now get to ask ourselves, on an election by election basis, whether or the second lie can be believed. Trump has proven that it cannot. Those are OUR chickens, and we have to own them.

The REPUBLICAN chickens are also on their way home. If it can be even possibly suggested that extra-judicusously returning this Person to his political enemies was motivated by personal or political gain (instead of a national security concern) then ABUSE of the Patriot Act is about to become seriously non-theroretical, and those Republican birdy-heads are probably headed straight for the Block.

But yeah, if flynn was planning a kidnapping on either Trump or putins recommendation, he will sing like a fucking canary, and immunity or not I'd plan on staying out of tall buildings for a while if I were him.

Just sayin.

Putin had a good thing going on but if the US really investigates everything and everyone the US authorities might bring the house down. Then Putin will have to say he overplayed his hand. The only thing helping Putin's spy network stay under-wraps right now are Republicans that are in charge. I'm starting to wonder if some of the people charged to investigate are really part of the spy operation themselves.
