Page 46 - Jim Clapper News Today

Earlier this week was that the acting attorney general went to the white house and told them michael flynn was subject to blackmail by the russians and the president waited 18 days and only after that was publicly disclosed to fire him. we also heard jim clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said he couldnt answer a question about trumps russian business investigation because that was a part of investigation. so we actually learned a lot of new things. we dont know where theyre ...

The white house didnt understand that i think should remain concerning. the timeline now has a little more meat on it. the bottom line is that the white house waited until there was public reporting on the fact that flynn was lying that he had these connections with the white house, and had that not come out in public, michael flynn might still be the national security adviser today. they may have ignored those warnings from the attorney generals office and it speaks to how ethically compromised...
