1. Something ?

They hide everything

[herding cats]

2. Of course they are.

It was blatantly obvious when they refused to turn over any documents pertaining to Flynn.

3. Rec. And the #TrumpTrolls are attacking Cummings already, usual garbage, Hillary, emails, ....

And, of course, the alternate universe trolling of exact opposites: Cummings "is the racist that comes from crime ridden Maryland."

Watergate's Carl Bernstein on Trump-Russia: "Oh my god, there's a cover-up going on." FBI Agrees
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/4/26/1656595/-Watergate-s-Carl-Bernstein-on-Trump-Russia-Oh-my-god-there-s-a-cover-up-going-on-FBI-Agrees
From The Independent (UK):

Famed Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein says that the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn could end up revealing a “cover-up” of alleged connections between President Donald Trump's team and Russia.

“There, he is central to what the FBI believes is a cover-up going on among people close to the president of the United States about what happened with the Trump campaign and Russia,” Mr Bernstein, who is now a CNN commentator, said. "The FBI, the congressional investigators are trying to learn what happened. And Flynn is almost like the ball of yarn that begins to unspool and is key to understanding it."

Mr Bernstein said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, now that he is leading the Justice Department's probe into Russia's role alleged in the election, will eventually see that there is a cover-up as well.

"He is going to see, ‘Oh my god, there’s a cover-up going on,’" Bernstein said.

5. Flynn isn't the only one the White House is covering up for

The White House is also covering up for the Canteloupe Caligula and his Russian-influenced minions, not to mention the repunks in Congress who were in on the interference.

9. Yes, they are stonewalling on Flynn. Bet there is some cross-incriminating stuff in Flynn docs. nt

[SunSeeker]

11. The very fact that he hired Flynn incriminates Shitler. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Actually, fact that he didn't fire. That he waited 17 days & changed his mind & then fired him.

Note post replied to originally said "fired" and was edited to be "hired".

[SunSeeker]

13. I meant to say "hired." But you are quite on point.

The reason they gave for firing Flynn was total bullshit, especially after Shitler defended him for three weeks and said Flynn was just doing his job.

6. CNN: Flynn warned in 2014 he needed permission for payments; DIA has no record; new IG inquiry

7. We are all so shocked. What a surprise.

[oasis]

8. Two steps: (1) Get a special prosecutor on board (2) Lock Flynn up.

[SunSeeker]

10. No other way to describe it.

It is a cover up for Flynn because they are also desperately trying to cover up their own crimes.

[calimary]

16. Sounds like obstruction of justice to me.

[SunSeeker]

17. Yep. nt

[L. Coyote]

19. Technically, there will be a possible contempt if a subpoena is ignored.

Until Congress serves a subpoena, there is nothing there. They can lie with impunity.

The trump White House's real exposure is likely being revealed though. They were warned about Flynn and they appointed him anyway and he turns out to be a foreign agent. Why did they want him as National Security Advisor? Because he is part of the coup?

[bucolic_frolic]

14. It's a dual coverup

Flynn for Trump White House, White House for Flynn

FOLLOW THE CAMPAIGN COFFER CASH!!!!!

Money laundering is a world wide game

[radical noodle]

15. No they're not

They're covering for themselves. They knew this and didn't care. I bet the White House shredders are running non-stop.

18. How on earth do you lose Security Clearance documents?

The answer is you do not. Ask for the FBI's background check documents. There are most likely some false statements in there.

20. I don't think they are covering for Flynn. They would throw

Him away in a second if that would make their problems go away. They are covering for themselves because once this convuluted ball of thread starts unwinding, they are all in trouble. Now, they just want him to stay silent, as does Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if he, like Chaffetz, came down with an odd and timely illness, but maybe his will be fatal...Putin style.

[triron]

21. you mean Trump? I presume you do. How about Pence and Sessions?

[Alice11111]

22. I mean no one wants Flynn to talk, including DT, Putin, Pence

Sessions, Bannon, et. al.

They would like to make him go away, but firing him wasn't enough to make the press stop dogging his connections.
