[Closed] Donald! Trump!

So already there is documented evidence showing concerns over Flynn's suitability were ignored before he was appointed.

And on whose watch was Flynn given security clearance under? 😆

We have possible evidence of pressuring the FBI to stop looking.

ah, [i]"possible"[/i] 😆 lets just slot that in the same big bag of big scary 'woo' words as "implied" and "potential" shall we 😉

Meanwhile, Ninfan's link that he claims proves Trump isn't under investigation actually says:

"two top senators — Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley and ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein — briefed last week by Mr. Comey on the broad scope of his investigation said he gave them no indication the president is a target.

“Sen. Feinstein and I heard nothing that contradicted the president’s statement,” Mr. Grassley said."

implies, possible...

And on whose watch was Flynn given security clearance under?

FWIW I didn't say implied, I said implicated.

cant wait to see what the subpoenas dig up from this

tax returns anyone?

secret recordings?

comedy gold awaits us!

[quote=ninfan ]And on whose watch was Flynn given security clearance under?

Let me guess - somebody who's campaign isn't under investigation?

Well if Trump said it then it must be true, cos he's never lied, made stuff up, misunderstood stuff, quoted lies, been taken in by others lying to him or just generally bawbagged around.

You are the ninfan/chewbot and I claim my 5 roubles

good summary here of how trump has managed to get himself in this mess and just seems to keep on digging

and for ninfan, explains what and who is being investigated

Damnit bigbutslimmerbloke you caught me out. Think I was being too subtle. All Hails the Trump, he can do no wrong and will live forever and anyone who says anything against him is lying unless he then tweets an admission then he's allowed to do it and they're just jealous of his orangey, flabby, idiotic, fat headed.....nope can't even pretend he's not an idiot.

I'm stil not quite sure what you're trying to say ^^^^ 😉

Perfect ninfan facsimile then. My work here is done.

And on whose watch was Flynn given security clearance under?

He was encouraged to retire from the Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama's watch.

[url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_T._Flynn#Defense_Intelligence_Agency ]He was reportedly effectively forced out of the DIA after clashing with superiors over his allegedly chaotic management style and vision for the agency
...
Flynn exhibited a loose relationship with facts, leading his subordinates to refer to Flynn's repeated dubious assertions as "Flynn facts".[/url]

To answer your question then, it was on Trump's watch that he was given security clearance.

“I respect the move, but the entire thing has been a witch hunt. There is no collusion – certainly myself and my campaign – but I can always speak for myself and the Russians – zero,” he said at a joint press conference with the Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos.

The bus is rolling and the victims are being lined up...

I'm looking forward to DT being out of the country next week for several reasons:

1) He doesn't want to go.
2) The opportunities for him to f-up are enormous. I take no pleasure in this, only that with every balls-up, maybe that's a few more Americans having the scales fall from their eyes.
3) I have a feeling there might be a few well-timed "developments" while he's out of town.

I wonder how many people will point out that the hotel rooms might have hiddem cameras on the trip...

To be honest it reads like a list of places you wouldn't take Prince Phillip

3) I have a feeling there might be a few well-timed "developments" while he's out of town.

Reaches for the popcorn!

The last couple of weeks have been bizarre enough it'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm half expecting to see the nuclear football replaced with an actual football for safety reasons. In a not too dissimilar similar vein to the IT crowd and the internet. Just strap a big red button to it, he'll not know the difference.

He is a strange one everything that happens to him is the biggest the greatest the most EVER

Biggest witch hunt ever - after what he did to Obama with the birth certificate - the man is a shameless moron.

Biggest witch hunt ever - after JFK got killed to death for doing the same job [s]what he did to Obama with the birth certificate[/s] - the man is a shameless moron.

Clearly there are many example we could use - in fact Hilary faced a worse witch hunt as what she did was done by other before her- e-mails on a private server- but i picked the one where he DID the witch hunting based on a completely false fact...oh the irony

Let's hope his core vote is so transfixed by shiny orbs that they're not keeping an eye out for for anything happening at home.

Trumps Whitehouse really is a a liability

BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said Ms Rudd's irritation stemmed from the fact "crucial information about the investigation" had been "leaked to the media in the US".
She had been concerned that this "might have compromised aspects of the investigation", namely that it may have "alerted associates" of the bomber "that the security forces here knew who they were looking for".
He added: "Ms Rudd, I'm told, got on the blower to US officials and gave them a piece of her mind. Officials say they are in no doubt about our views on that."

Strange reaction Kimbers, so far there doesn't appear to be any information linking the release of that information to the Whitehouse, and nothing in that article suggests it was

And it's not like there hasn't been a significant number of high level classified discussions and intelligence briefings leaked to the US media recently by people who don't work in the Whitehouse, is it?

As above, you can't blame the White House for being the source of the leak. The whole US security establishment has the qualities of a colander, as the orange fella is finding out. Clearly you don't even have to piss them off first, as he has done.

From the NY Times on Trump's meeting with the Pope.

At 8:20 a.m., under an azure sky, the president’s motorcade rolled into the courtyard of the Apostolic Palace. Ostrich-feather-plumed Swiss Guards stood at attention as Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, stepped out of an armored Chevrolet sport utility vehicle — he in a dark suit, white shirt and black-and-white-stripe tie; she in a black dress with a veil on her hair. A few minutes earlier, the pope arrived in a lone blue Ford Focus. He stepped out and walked into a side entrance.

In his gifts, the pope seemed eager to impart a lesson. He gave the president a copy of his most recent World Day of Peace message (“I signed it personally for you,” Francis said), as well as three of his writings: on the family, the joy of the Gospel, and, most tellingly for a recipient who has called climate change a hoax, “Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home.” Written in 2015, it is the first papal encyclical focused solely on the environment.

Manchester information Leaks. Most likley from someone trying to create a problem for Trump. Manning wasn't trying to do Obama a favour was he ?
