"Michael Flynn, the national security adviser to President Annoying Orange, resigned late Monday over revelations about his potentially illegal contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States, and his misleading statements about the matter to senior Annoying Orange administration officials."

"In a letter to Annoying Orange, Flynn said he had �inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the president and the vice president.�"

"Flynn was referring to his disproven claims to Vice President Pence and others a month ago that he had never discussed U.S. sanctions against Moscow with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Pence, White House spokesman Sean Spicer and others, relying on Flynn�s accounts, publicly defended him and repeatedly declared in categorial terms that sanctions were never discussed."

Less than 30 days into the presidency and we already have people resigning due to lying about ties to Russia. Oh boy.

I never really took the whole "Annoying Orange is in bed with Russia" seriously, but it's clear there's some conflicts of interest going on within his administration.

yeah but he didn't know he would do this, as evidenced by the guy's letter to him

he wouldn't hire somebody who would double-cross him

I hear they have some job openings at Comet Ping-Pong Pizza for Flynn and his son.

He should have told the truth about his ties then.

So how many of these incidents do we need until everyone admits that an email scandal wasn't such a big deal?

Gojira · February 14, 2017, 01:21:52 AM
