The eighteen days. I believe this a big clue.

It took trump 18 days to fire Flynn. Why? Trump fired Comey in one day. He did not even think it through. Flynn lied to pence about his talks with Russia. Did he lie to Trump? Trump is very loyal to people who are loyal to him. Trump will turn on people he is loyal to if they do him wrong. Trump did not do this with Flynn.

This leads me to believe Trump knew everything Flynn was up to with the Russians. He did not get mad with Flynn because he already knew what he was doing.

If Flynn is guilty of collusion so is Trump. Flynn would still be there if the press did not report about it. The press forced trumps hand.

And here's to hoping they can force his hand again and again and again until they force the POS straight out of office.

When trump was told Flynn lied to his vice president and about his dealings with russia , trumps normal reaction would have been anger. He would have turned on him quickly. Thats what trump always does. He did nothing. That does not make sense. Trump had to know.
