I said "IF" and hope there is no real fire behind the smoke. Personally, I take no joy or satisfaction from General Flynn's fate. Politicians, and their appointees, have to walk very circumspectly in a saturated media frenzy. It's tough business.

I'm synopsizing here, but relative to the media frenzy of your mention. The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Russian authorities had made contact with the Trump campaign in August of 2016. The article's obviously overarching inference was there may have been some amount of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, as that may have been applicable to the so-called Russian election interference. Having read the article, Shepard Smith of FOX News was in rare form today, frothing through his daily assault on all things Trump as if he were positive that this deal would eclipse Watergate or something. The parent network at FOX lost me for the most part when Megyn Kelley mounted her anti-Trump campaign with Cavuto and junk yard dog Charlie Gasparino joining in shortly thereafter, and the preponderance of the remaining shows have fallen like dominos until now, only Tucker Carlson and Hannity survive.

At any rate, after opening said article in such sensational fashion, the times reporter in question said "and BTW, "there is no proof of any kind of cooperation between Russia and the Trump campaign." DUH. But what we do have, is then President Obama caught on tape via a hot mic telling Russian Premier Medvedev to "wait until after HIS election" when he would be free evidently to do whatever Medvedev was asking, because after the election he'd be untouchable. I watched, I waited, and absolutely nothing was made of Obama's outrageous comment, much less whatever the heck his intention was. Who knows what it may have been, but I do know that Obama was reelected in 2012, and I know that Russia gained control of a staggering 20% of US uranium production in 2013. "Rosatom’s acquisition of Toronto-based miner Uranium One Inc. made the Russian agency, which also builds nuclear weapons, one the world’s top five producers of the radioactive metal and gave it ownership of a mine [SIZE="3"]in Wyoming."[/SIZE]

Anybody here remember hearing the first negative story about that? I don't. But on evidence which is thinner than a gnat's hinder parts stretched over a box car, our US media bent on politics of destruction, are out there making the federal government look like a bunch of bozos, while the 9th Circus Court of Appeals has taken steps to ensure the bad guys can keep pouring into our country to spite a sitting President.
