<\/p>\nTrump Evades Questions About Michael Flynn as Top Dems Call for His Firing<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who likely\u00a0discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia in secret talks with the Russian ambassador<\/a> a month before Trump took office,\u00a0remains in his position, and although the story is leading news broadcasts nationwide, Donald Trump is refusing to take questions on an appointee who has engaged in potentially treasonous behavior:<\/p>\n For the record \u2013 I asked the President if he still has confidence in General Flynn. He sure seemed to hear the question but did not answer<\/p>\n \u2014 Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Trump walks off ignoring multiple shouted questions about Flynn<\/p>\n \u2014 Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As Trump was leaving I shouted out, “Mr. President, does Gen. Flynn still have your confidence?” No answer.<\/p>\n \u2014 Hunter Walker (@hunterw) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If you need a quick catch-up on why the Flynn-Russia story is so important, watch this segment from Rachel Maddow<\/a>.<\/p>\n And in his news briefing with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump received questions\u00a0that required no substantive answers, causing journalists \u2013 even those from FOX News channel \u2013 to suggest that the questions were all plants.<\/p>\n No questions about Flynn’s status even though it is leading every newscast?? Are these planted questions on the Washington side?<\/p>\n \u2014 Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n By handpicking reporters, Trump manages to get through news conference without being asked about Flynn.<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n HOW IS THERE NO FLYNN QUESTION !?!?!?!?!<\/p>\n \u2014 Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) February 13, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi today called for the firing of General Flynn.<\/p>\n \u201cMichael Flynn\u2019s conduct was alarming enough before his secret communications with the Russians were exposed.\u00a0 Now, we have a National Security Advisor who cannot be trusted not to put Putin before America.<\/p>\n \u201cThe conduct of the Trump White House speaks for itself.\u00a0 The reports of the Trump-Russia dossier gain credence with each passing day.\u00a0 As long as Republicans refuse to compel the release of President Trump\u2019s tax returns, they are complicit in covering up Russia\u2019s financial, personal and political hold on the Administration.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Administration has exhausted its excuses.\u00a0 Vladimir Putin\u2019s grip on President Trump must be investigated, exposed and broken.\u00a0\u00a0 National security demands that General Flynn be fired immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n USA Today adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n The problems with Flynn are a \u201creflection on the president,\u201d Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on MSNBC. \u201cAnd this is a president who is erratic, who is inexperienced, who may be very well in over his head, who starts the day generally by Tweeting things that his national security team then has to chase after and make sense out of.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Trump Evades Questions About Michael Flynn as Top Dems Call for His Firing<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
