He obviously changed his tune when he got paid by the Islamist government. Personally think it's scandalous for a man so easily capable of taking bribes would find himself as NSA -- you know, in an administration who can't get enough of scaring the American people of ... Islamists. Thanks anyway, Tom :)lastgreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354740659933239445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-10267724844678193892017-03-11T20:43:29.845-05:002017-03-11T20:43:29.845-05:00No time.

I do, but probably not for the reasons stated in the mainstream press -- that either Flynn had not registered as a foreign agent, or that he told the WH that he was a paid lobbyist for a foreign government and it was not a problem for the WH. I'll wait to read what you have to say, if you have the time of course, and I'll elaborate later. Thanks.
