House of Cruds

Moscow on the Potomac

The What House?
February 14, 2017

Gen. Mike Flynn, one of the most important members of the White House staff – the National Security Advisor – which is an appointed position beyond the reach of congressional approval and totally at the discretion of the president (even when that president is a mentally unstable narcissist with neither the experience nor the inclination to handle the job), tried to slink away in the middle of the night after letting his country down and possibly betraying another country. The latter would be America. Depending on who you listen to, Flynn resigned, was asked to resign, was told to pretend to resign so he could continue to do his excellent work in the shadows instead of on the record, or he was traded to Russia for a future draft pick and traitors to be named later. Some of these are alternative explanations, but hey, who’s counting? Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told Chris Cuomo that no Republican’t leaders have said anything about one of the nation’s highest ranking officials abandoning his post in disgrace less than one month into his tenure because it was Valentine’s day and, "Maybe they're having breakfast with their wives." ‘Tis the treason…I mean season of love I guess. Collins called Flynn “a great American.” Unfortunately for us regular Americans, Flynn is an even greater Russian.

 

Sacrificial Press Secretary Sean Spicer, asked if Chrump had instructed Flynn to discuss sanctions with the Russians bleated, “No, absolutely not. No, no, no – no. And by the way he won the popular vote.” That last sentence might have been an alternative quote. I cannot be sure. Spicer actually said, "The irony of this situation is that the president has been incredibly tough on Russia." No, seriously.

Flynn is hoping to take a bullet for the team, but it is not necessarily his bullet to take. I am sure that the so-called president is hoping for plausible deniability, but my take is that there is nothing plausible about this so-called president – particularly deniability. He is an alternative president and when it comes to Flynn’s most recent dalliances with Russia, Chrump knew about this months ago. All I can say at this point to Chrump is, to paraphrase Bitch McConnell, “He was warned. He was given an explanation. Nevertheless, he persisted.”

As of yet there is no word from the White House other than Spicer passing the buck with, "This idea of why did it take so long, I think the first question should be where was the Department of Justice in this?" It might be that the FBI was still busy celebrating bringing down Hillary Clinton and propping up Russia’s preferred candidate who now haunts our White House. And maybe Jeff Sessions did not want to ruffle any feathers since he had been advising team Chrump throughout the campaign. Oh yeah I almost forgot; Acting Attorney General Sally Yates (that would be the head of the Justice Department Sean) warned the White House (where your boss lives Sean) that Flynn had a serious Russia problem and soon after, Yates was fired - supposedly because she would not defend Chrump's Muslim ban. So Chrump was well aware that Flynn was withholding the truth about his Russian trysts for weeks. Unless of course it was all Chrump’s idea to begin with.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and miserable little shit weasel Rep. Jason Chafetz (R-UT) says he has no intention of investigating anything other than Hillary Clinton’s emails. Oh, any maybe Benghazi. If Clinton had won the popular vote and the Electoral College, Chafetz would be well into his impeachment frenzy by now. Chafetz claims there is simply no need to investigate Flynn’s possible treason because "it'll take care of itself." Go Flynn yourself, Congressman.
