Because the media continues to hold Trump and his circle of sinners to a lower standard than any other administration in modern history, the American people are not aware of what a criminal Michael Flynn truly is. After President Obama fired him from his position as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, he served foreign nations, including Russia and Turkey. He also became one of America’s largest promoters of conspiracy theories as a loyal follower of Alex Jones.

He joined the Trump campaign early, and is believed to have conspired with Vladimir Putin to aid the orange man’s ambitions. Under enormous pressure, he recently admitted that he lied to the FBI regarding his contacts with Russian agents. As a former General in the United States Army, this makes him a traitor to the United States of America by definition. He has agreed to cooperate fully with Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Trump was recently asked if he would pardon Flynn. Trump continues to have a very close relationship with Vladimir Putin, which began in 2005, and one he denies although the proof is available for all to see. “I don’t want to talk about pardons for Michael Flynn yet. We’ll see what happens.” YET. And is anyone else thinking that that “we’ll see what happens” really means “we’ll see how thoroughly Flynn has flipped on me”?

Once again Trump places himself in the role of the victim.

Trump has filled his staff with corrupt men and women who use private and military aircraft for business and personal travel. They are following the example of their leader. Trump has already spent nearly $90 million of taxpayer money for travels to and from his golf resorts and to hold rallies. This is the most expensive illegitimate presidency in history, and he has not been in office for eleven months.

Trump will not pardon Flynn. In just a few words he rejected his lack of unbridled loyalty. Although Trump is not loyal to his “friends,” he demands complete loyalty from them, even if their actions violate the law.

Trump exists in a reality show; he is not the people’s president.

Please re-post; thank you.
