Micro,
That is a difference between you and me. You choose to call Flynn a liar.
I say his record of integrity through his ENTIRE life says this man is NOT a liar, is NOT a coward. He has consistently told the truth, ESPECIALLY when he was the Director of the DIA, and resigned rather than withhold the TRUTH about what was going on with IRAN and ISIS. This is a MENSCH that takes FULL responsibility for his actions. His entire life has reflected that.
I can not say the same thing about the VP. He is a politician almost his entire life.
Why did TRUMP, who was FULLY aware of what Flynn did and said to the Russians not tell Pence ?
Look at the 'apology' of Flynn and note two things.
1. The furthest that Flynn can concede is that he (Flynn) 'mischaracterized' the call. He does NOT say he 'lied'.
2. Flynn maintains, even now, "I DID NOTHING WRONG."
So, to call Flynn a 'liar' means to also call him a man who is TOTALLY incapable of FULLY taking responsibility for his actions.
Calling it a 'mischaracterization' DOES take full responsibility - even if the fault lies with PENCE not 'understaning' correctly or even if PENCE flat out lied, or maybe, that Flynn did not 'remind' Mike that the phone call may have been recorded and transcribed.
Do you really buy the bs that 'Flynn changed his tune when Flynn became aware the call was recorded' ? Flynn, the FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY ... not being cognizant of NSA monitoring of calls to foreign officials, especially RUSSIAN foreign officials. I don't buy that bs for a microsecond.
Que Bono ?
1. What did/would Flynn have to gain by lying to Mike Pence ... IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION/DEBRIEFING ?
2. What did/would Mike Pence have in mischaracterizing in PUBLIC STATEMENTS about what Flynn relayed to him.
Answers: 1. - Nothing. 2. - Many possibilities - given the furor over any/all contact, appearance of contact between the Trump Admin and Russia prior to the election and installation into office.
Now, Answer this.
Why have General Flynn, and his aids been denied ANY ACCESS to the illegal transcript of that phone call ?
Over eight sources in the government have already had access to that transcript and 'leaked' it to the press.
Sorry, micro. The FACTS of the issue have spoken and they sure as hell do not add up.
