Klamath Falls, OR—— Donald Trump can set the record for the shortest president in the history of the United States. Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has resigned in disgrace due to his complicity in Trump’s Russia scandal, it now seems a race against to see whether Trump resigns before massive public pressure forces a reluctant republican congress to impeach him.
At the Republican National Convention, Flynn was the guy who popularized the “Lock Her Up” chant about Hillary Clinton by screaming it in unhinged fashion. Flynn was regularly calling up the Russian ambassador, going back to well before election day, in order to coordinate things between Trump and Vladimir Putin. Trump will ostensibly continue to claim he didn’t know what Flynn was doing, but Trump has already admitted complicity, and it seems only a matter of time before Trump goes down with Flynn.
And this was the criminal traitor who led the idiotic “Lock Her Up” chant about Hillary Clinton. Those who voted for Trump because they mistakenly thought Hillary was a “criminal” unwittingly handed the United States over to Russia. Now the only questions are whether Flynn goes to prison — Lock Him Up indeed — and how quickly Trump is impeached.
It’s bad enough for Trump that he lacked the guts to fire Flynn, instead cowering and hoping Flynn would resign. But the real scandal is that Flynn was taken down by former acting Attorney General Sally Yates – and it appears to be the real reason Trump fired her.
We will be hearing a whole lot in the next days regarding Donald Trump’s true motivation for firing Sally Yates. But here’s what’s fairly clear right now: Flynn spent four days refusing to resign, but almost immediately after the Yates news broke in the Washington Post, Flynn changed his mind and resigned. That suggests that Flynn viewed the Yates revelation as being so damning toward the Trump White House that he suddenly wanted to bail as quickly as possible.
This now provides multiple angles for why this just became Donald Trump’s Russian Watergate. He appears to have fired Sally Yates in order to prevent her from taking down Michael Flynn over Russia. In turn, Michael Flynn appears to view the Yates news as a reason to get away from Trump before the whole thing explodes. Flynn is now a free agent who will either blab about Trump or simply run home to Russia, either of which will be terrible for Trump. And we have yet to hear from Yates, who can now get her revenge on Trump by laying out the timeline. Welcome to Trump’s Watergate.
