Ivanka Trump was instrumental in Michael Flynn becoming national security adviser, report says

[ck4829]

Friday brought another reminder that Ivanka Trump may have massively downplayed her role in her father’s presidential campaign, transition and White House administration.

While Ivanka famously said she didn’t like to get involved much in politics, it appears now that she and her husband Jared Kushner have been major influences in some of President Donald Trump’s most controversial hiring and firing decisions, including the decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, which led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

Now it turns out that Ivanka Trump was instrumental in bringing Michael T. Flynn into her father’s administration to serve as national security adviser, according to a report in the New Yorker.

This report, from late October, is worth revisiting after Flynn on Friday pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with the Russian ambassador last December.

3. It is amazing our nation is being run by a bunch of less than amateurs.

kNOw nothings!

6. "Less than amateurs" is even more correct than you might realize.

An "amateur" (from the French verb to love) participates in an endeavour for the love of it (as opposed to the professional who, while loving it, also gets paid for it).

The Trump family is there, not for the love of country, but solely for themselves and their bank accounts.

9. So true.

For the love of themselves.

5. I said from the beginning that Ivanka is dirtier

than Jr. or Eric.

7. Sad

Ivanka is sad, she is tired of paying 4 dollars a day in her sweatshops in China and was hoping to hire the kidnapped children for 2 dollars a day. The deal has fallen through and she is very unhappy.

Useless, corrupt and irritatingly entrenched.
