I believe the Flynn thing is the lid on Pandora's Box. trump seems to think that the Flynn firing put the issue to rest. Yates would re open the issue, and the record would show that trump knowingly let a Turkish operative sit in on classified briefings. Clearly, Flynn was also acting as a Russian operative, not unlike Manafort.
trump wants this to be about Flynn 'lying' to Pence. The reality is that Flynn is up to his ears in this Russia issue.
We're learning that when anyone in the trump administration says 'I had one meeting', that means "I'll only admit to the ones that have been discovered'.
Now we see that his son in law is doing business with the most corrupt bank in Russia. He too only admitted to one 'meeting/call'. We now know that it isn't true, and he lied about the nature of the contacts.
doing business with or failing to disclose is not an "operative make" - do you understand the meaning of that word?
It means one is not just taking money from, but one is colluding with ( quid pro quo) a foreign power to damage the US.
So do you still want to run with "operative?" where the dual loyalty/damage by Flynn?
