Rump should have listened to Obama.

The White House confirmed later Monday that Obama raised concerns about Flynn during his Oval Office sitdown with Trump in November.
"It's true President Obama made it known he wasn't exactly a fan of Gen. Flynn's," press secretary Sean Spicer said.
He said the concerns shouldn't have come as a surprise, since Flynn was an "outspoken critic" of the Obama administration's shortcomings on foreign policy.
Spicer said if the Obama administration was "truly concerned" about Flynn, there are steps it could have taken, including suspending his security clearance.
Flynn previously served as the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama until he was reportedly forced out of the post 2014 over internal disagreements over policy and management.

Trump will just lie again and blame Obama.
And all the dimbulb Trumpkins will blindly take him at his word.

Althea told me...
Wouldn't Beauregard ultimately have to bring any charges against trump, or can Congress do that? Aside from impeachment?
Rump is immune from prosecution until he is removed from office

fully immersed in faith..
was there anyone who didn't know Obama disliked Flynn?......
Rump would not be having near as bad a problem as he is now if you'd listen to Obama. Rump should've listen to Obama.

Nobody listens to Obama. Did you forget "the most qualified person to run for President in history?"

I think it's true that you have to keep making up stories to assuage your butt hurt over the election.

Still no evidence of Trump "colluding" with Russia
All this investigating and nothiing

Righties should be concerned with Russian interference in our electoral process through fake news and wikileaks, instead they defend Flynn who unlike draft dodger Donald at least served in the military but turns out to be a liar and money grabber. Folks just because someone served doesn't make them Saints to worship, been there done that.
A more serious complaint would be is lying now a presidential qualification? Trump lies like some five year old and the fools on the right still believe? Do they really believe or are they just partisan parasites?
"A unique challenge posed to free expression by President Trump is his propensity to lie. President Trump’s tendency to make statements that are verifiably false has been well-documented in the press. Both The Toronto Star and The Washington Post keep running tallies of the President’s falsehoods; as of April 26 the Star had counted 212 “bald-faced lies, exaggerations and deceptions the President of the United States of America has said, so far,” and The Post had listed 414 “false or misleading claims.” He lies so much that it has spurred efforts to create a more precise terminology to refer to the variety of falsehoods he utters—“untruths,” “debunked claims,” “claims with no evidence,” “unverified claims,” and plain old lies." http://lithub.com/calling-a-lie-a-lie-on-the-first-100-days-of-donald-trumps-presidency/

You know that isn't a made-up story, right?
It's actually classic Trump. Obama warned him about Flynn, Trump didn't listen - and then Trump's people TRIED TO BLAME OBAMA FOR FLYNN.
Great post-truth era stuff. But keep telling everyone that you didn't "really" support Trump and all of that.
So you are going to avoid the question? Cowardly!
Even Rump and Sean "Kelly Ann" Spicer are not denying it. Only ILA!

So let me ask you, if Flynn was such a bad bad security risk, why did he still have a security clearance under Obama at the time Obama was supposedly warning Trump.
Do liberals ever think outside the box or are they forever locked inside of it
