He is tweeting again:

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

Interesting article.

Russian protests

Navalny has still to serve another 11 or 12 days in jail, I think?

This time. Wink

Oh awesome tweet from the Trump! Considering it was his tweet about Obama wiretapping him that really got things moving I am hopeful he will keep tweeting and cause even more upset for himself Grin

I'm worried that Flynn is double bluffing, that he is asking for immunity, so that he can tell them something completely inane and useless, then every will say 'is that all' and move on.

Was that Joe Lycett? I love his responses to DT Grin

I hear you, Oh. I just don't think they'll 'move on' even if so.

Bill Kristol‏ @BillKristol
On further thought: Maybe this isn't foolishness. Perhaps it's a signal from Trump to Flynn that Trump stands by him, will take care of him.

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:07

You really believe that, Pain?

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:09

Sorry. I meant that 45 would take care of anybody but himself.

AndHoldTheBun · 31/03/2017 14:12

Ego, I think, judging by some of the news headlines trumps latest tweet has spawned, that many people might be confused as to what his tweet is actually saying.
Some headlines are suggesting it means Trump is advising Flynn to seek immunity (i.e. Showing support for Flynn).

To me, it says the following (trying to get into Trumps mind here), - Im angry, I heard flynn has asked for immunity before speaking about me, and you know what, I think he SHOULD ask for immunity because this is a witch hunt, an excuse for the big, election loss. Media and dems have lost bigly, historical loss.

Do you thing he thinks Flynn is asking for immunity so he doesn't have to implicate Trump?

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:14

I think he's just 'dumping'. Trying to read things into his personal tweets is like trying to catch the wind, for me.

thedcbrokemybank · 31/03/2017 14:18

Adam Schiff tweet:

The public should learn a lot more about WHY General Flynn wants immunity when Sally Yates testifies before the House Intelligence Committee t.co/F6mjRbjUby

7Days · 31/03/2017 14:28

Why would Trump give coded messages over twitter? If this is all a big Machievellian feint then daft looking tweets dont fit tgat. Otherwise all the daft tweets serve a deeper agenda. Unless...... oh my head hurts

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:32

You're trying to operate on the basis that he's halfway rational, 7. Bigly mistake! Grin

AcrossthePond55 · 31/03/2017 14:33

I think Trump is 'double bluffing'. Making out that whatever Flynn has to say, it's nothing about him in hopes he'll be able to convince everyone it's true. DH is still of the opinion that Flynn is Trump's 'fall guy'.

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:37

I doubt that there's anybody in the States who doesn't now believe that he's - at the least - corrupt. The interesting question now is 'Do they care?'

Full transcript of yesterday's Briefing: www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/30/press-briefing-press-secretary-sean-spicer-3302017-32

Spicer got really flustered didn't he?!

7Days · 31/03/2017 14:40

Bigly Grin.

That's a risky game though Pond. They sre going to drill deep on Flynn and his associates. Can they hope to cover up Trump's own actions? Once the can of worms is opened every simple statment will be examined.

7Days · 31/03/2017 14:42

That is the real question Cozie. I bet a lot of people admire him for brazenly getting away with it

cozietoesie · 31/03/2017 14:46

He became very flustered indeed, Cave.

On a procedural point, he seems to be saying, increasingly, 'I'll get back to you on that' or 'I'll look into that'. What happens with these points? Is there a published follow-up?
