One assumes that one of general flynns lawyers said take that down immediately. it has all sorts of red flags. >> frank, final thought. >> final thought, ill choose mike flynn. we had as a national security adviser a fortune agent. just let that sink in. so that was trumps selection. he was warned about it. as we used to say about it, you dont get sunday school teachers as informance. >> thats not proven. youre asserting that. he hasnt copped to that. >> hes pled guilty to lying to the fbi about...
