CNN reporting that General Flynn is getting the daily intelligence briefings. [View all]

Reporter said that Flynn then briefs Dump 2 to 3 times a week on what he hears. Remember that it was reported that Flynn was disruptive, argumentative and even openly hostile when he attended the briefings when Dump was the ReThug nominee. Witnesses said that Christie had to touch his arm and tell Flynn to calm down and shut up. Christie and Flynn both denied those events ever happened, with Flynn saying, "That's bullshit".

Hearing that nutcase Flynn (conspiracy theory believer and perpetrator) is counselling and briefing Dump, scares the bejesus out of me.
