National Enquirer Branding Flynn A Russian Spy Means Trump Throwing Flynn Under Bus.

Americablog nails it. The National Enquirer not only labels Flynn a Russian spy but lauds Trump for catching him. Since we now know how connected the National Enquirer is to Trump/Bannon/Republicans we know they are doing this to help Trump.


National Enquirer brands Flynn a “Russian spy” — Trump just threw Flynn under the bus. Why?

Before we begin, don’t tell me the National Enquirer isn’t reputable — that is not the point of this story. The National Enquirer has an umbilical cord tethered to Team Trump, and only writes what Trump wants them to write. So the big question this morning is why Team Trump wants to smear Michael Flynn.

Now, the big news: The National Enquirer is accusing former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of being a “Russian spy.”

This story is huge, and here’s why.

No one should believe anything the National Enquirer writes. The fact that the National Enquirer says Flynn is a Russian spy likely means Flynn isn’t a Russian spy. But this story matters because the man who runs the National Enquirer, David Pecker, is a huge longtime friend of Trump. The Enquirer only runs stories that help Trump. And there is no way the Enquirer would run this story unless Team Trump thought this story helped Trump.
