Don’t Buy the Michael Flynn Crap

Lady Liberty Crying

I do not consider myself a conspiracy theorist but I find something missing when watching news reports of the phone calls national security advisor, Michael Flynn, made to the Russian Ambassador. Flynn is the second Trump official that is chummy with the Russians. If you recall, Paul Manafort, who was a lobbyist for Russia was Trump’s campaign manager and had to resign over suspicious activities with his involvement with the Russian government.

Both VP Pence and Trump indicate they had no idea Flynn held a discussion on the sanctions with the Russian ambassador. Flynn himself, at first denied that sanctions were discussed with the ambassador. But phone surveillance indicates otherwise. It’s difficult to believe that Flynn made several phone calls to the Russian ambassador on the same day Mr. Obama, issued further sanctions on Russia without a specific purpose. Flynn stated the phone calls were simply to set up a time for additional phone conversations in the future. I’m not buying that crap. The ties to the Russian government are too frequent and commonplace within the Trump administration. I believe Donald Trump and others in the administration instructed Flynn to tell the Russian Ambassador, sanctions would be reduced or lifted after Trump took office.

I also believe Donald Trump is corrupt and so is his administration. What is most discerning about the situation is that no one in Congress is taking any actions to investigate Trump, Flynn and others in the administration. If this was Hillary Clinton, the Congressional oversight committee would have been meeting from inauguration day.

This is why Democrats, independents and willing Republicans, need to resist. We need to show up at town hall meetings and every event where a Trump administration official is speaking, especially Trump himself.. We should protest selected cabinet officials mainly focusing on Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos. DeVos bought her way into the cabinet position by donating millions of dollars to Republicans, including too most of the Republican Senators currently serving in Congress. Florida Sen. Marco “The Con Rubio ,” received $100,000 from her. If these circumstances do not anger everyone reading this and stir their emotions, then I cannot think of anything that will.  The home page of the Randolph Review includes a tab for, Resist Trump.
