Once again Flynn would have had to have been a suspect. There is no indication the FBI had a warrant to wiretap Flynn, there would be no basis for one unless they did so illegally.

Either way it stills gets back to the questions poised:

Who authorized the wiretap and recording of a private citizen (Flynn) during a political campaign?
If a Federal Court approved this; what was the basis of the request?
Who initiated the request for wiretapping the phone conversations of an American citizen?

There is also the likely and probable scenario that they intercepted and eavesdropped aka “spied” on Russian Ambassador Kislyak conversations.

This seems to be the case according to the Washington Post.

washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-department-warned-white-house-that-flynn-could-be-vulnerable-to-russian-blackmail-officials-say/2017/02/13/fc5dab88-f228-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.0da13ba5b08e

Which the question then becomes who was responsible for ordering the eavesdropping? Hmmm. Sally Yates…

You seem to be disagreeing with me and then agreeing with me. Of course they were spying on Kislyak. That’s why they have Flynn on tape.

It is annoying and disgusting. Makes you sick to think grown adults are acting this way on our dime, when they should be working instead of dragging their feet on everything.

The intelligence agencies certainly don’t seem to be dragging their feet.

Hillary lied to the FBI, Congress and the American people and nothing happened to her.

John Kerry met with the N. Vietnam while we were at war, and he became Senator and SOS.

It’s called double standards and it smells to high heavens.

The Democrats are scraping the bottom of the barrell to disrupt.

The Dems have been this way for as long as I can remember.They are impossible,self important and delusional as to their relevance. They are so worried that President Trump will succeed and thier legacy of lies and ineptitude will be exposed.If people actually have jobs,if our children actually get a decent education,they may no longer be in need of the government handouts,which is the demagraphic the Dems rely on to stay in power.Pathetic.
Rather than teach a man to fish so he can feed himself,they would much rather just dole out the fish,one at a time.

No I don’t thinks so, we were discussing the Patriot Act and specifically Flynn being wiretapped not Kislyak.

I think i misread you or made a mistake, sorry.

Regardless Flynn should have known he was being listened to.

Perhaps… but still there seems to be nothing here.

Flynn should have been open and honest with the Trump and Pence, but then again no one knows the conversations he had with both of them. The President needs to have people he can fully trust.

Don’t forget their outright hatred for white people; they’re admitting it to our faces now. And all the while accusing white people of racism. In my opinion, they are nothing more than domestic terrorists now. They are not going to give up the power they amassed in the last eight years. It’s all about them, and power. They hate. Just look at the behavior of the so called protestors. They’re violent (paid) anarchists.

If there was nothing there he wouldn’t have resigned. Trying to spin this as him getting forced out for lying to Pence ignores the fact that was he was lying about was there being nothing improper or possibly illegal on the calls.

Poor guy. It appears that he at least does not enjoy reading and does not read easily.

If I were him, I would be terrified that the lives of so many depend upon my ability to assimilate large amounts of information. I wonder what goes on in his head?

It’s a personal bias of mine, but I do not easily relate to people who do not read for pleasure and edification. Of course folks with learning disabilities can be wonderful human beings. Reading is just a very large, important part of my life.

I would agree with you here. Reading is a huge part of my life also. 45 does appear to have a difficulty with reading. It has come up on numerous occasions and under varying circumstances. What did he say when asked what he read? 'I like reading… " ‘The Art of the Deal’ is his favorite book and he hears it is doing well.

Anyway, a recent NYTimes piece told us:

nytimes.com/2017/02/12/us/politics/national-security-council-turmoil.html?_r=2

"And while Mr. Obama liked policy option papers that were three to six single-spaced pages, council staff members are now being told to keep papers to a single page, with lots of graphics and maps.

“The president likes maps,” one official said."

Sad.

What’s there then? The FBI and WH has already said their was nothing there in the conversation that was illegal. It’s a simple witch hunt by the Dems and the implications of the leakers are clear.

Why did Trump force him to resign then?

Yes, up on your heels following you. This is the underhanded and backstabbing things that the SS did under Hitler to anyone who got in their way.

They will get to bottom of this.
