Trump touts himself as a great business man.
It is inconceivable that he would have kept a man like Flynn, with all his problems in a business setting.He would have fired him immediately if the possibility arose that Flynn would have compromised a business deal.

So why did he keep Flynn on for 18 days? Why compromise national security? What was he hoping to achieve?
What do the Russians have on Trump?
