We do know that Flynn engaged in a series of phone calls with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak the month before President Trump was sworn in. The appropriateness of those calls is being called into question by then Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. She and the Department of Justice were eavesdropping on the conversations.

The source of the calls contents, Yates and the DoJ, present a challenge. Yates was recently fired by President Trump for defying her duty to enforce his Executive order on immigration. It is more than a little suspicious that the DoJ and Yates held on to Flynn’s phone recordings until now, months after they took place.

If they truly were violations of the law, shouldn’t we have been hearing about them before Yates was even fired?

This convenient timing is reinforced when we consider the question, was the government monitoring Russian communications or Trump’s transition team? The fact that highly sensitive intelligence was leaked to the media suggests the latter.

Democrats are no doubt, cheering loudly at this “scandal.” In one large bomb they have cast apprehensions over Trump’s whole administration. When Flynn was fired in 2014, it became a convenient distraction for Clinton’s dealings with Russia.

It would certainly appear that the left has found a use for Flynn once again; allowing him to become part of Trump’s cabinet and only then releasing the conversations with Russia.

It is worth noting that Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, warned then President Elect Trump to not take on the intelligence community. His dire and now prophetic prediction was, “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.”

Clearly, the Democrats had a plan in place and were simply waiting for the correct time to release it. Flynn may be little more than a pawn in the grand scheme. On the other hand, evidence may still be coming that reveals he was fully involved from the beginning.

His long-standing relations with Russia made him perfect for this part either way. The way the information was leaked is actually a crime in itself but the Democrats are making sure to direct attention away from that. It was certainly one of their own who was responsible.

President Trump and his advisors must face this challenge head on. A clean cut with Flynn is just the first step. Trump has repeatedly said he is going to clean house, Yates was part of that. The time for that cleaning is now.

Everyone’s loyalty is in question. The Democrats excel at this kind of subterfuge and they are starting to detonate the land mines they have set up.

Their schemes to cast suspicions on Trump have largely failed. They are now resorting to some rather serious tactics. Indicative of their fear that President Trump will succeed, he needs to turn his attention to their panic to prevent any other scandals from erupting.
