Burr is right. SSCI investigation needs some boundaries. Flynn's clearance reporting is relevant but the specific issues here are for DOD. twitter.com/timkmak/status/857698385339588608

WTF?

German soldier posed as Syrian refugee and 'planned attack'
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39733952
"...police subsequently discovered the suspect had registered as a Syrian refugee at a shelter in central Germany in December 2015 and later officially requested political asylum in Bavaria, prosecutors said.

"No concerns were raised at the time, despite the man speaking no Arabic. German media report that he even received monthly payments and accommodation.

"'These findings, and indications of a xenophobic background of the Bundeswehr soldier, suggest that the accused was planning a serious crime endangering state security with the weapon that was earlier deposited at Vienna airport,' the prosecutors' statement said"

I follow Keith Olbermann's clips. This one... please do watch it if you get a chance. It's well worth it. Very moving and I would like to tie DT down along with the rest of his family and make him and them watch it as it concerns his ancestors and what he is doing to his country.

PerkingFaintly · 27/04/2017 22:46

So a German soldier with a "xenophobic background" was allegedly planning an attack endangering state security.

But first he set up an ID as a Syrian refugee.

OK, this is still at the arrest stage, and will all need to be examined in court; it may not be true. But can someone check I've interpreted this correctly: if the accusations are true, then this is a white supremacist planning to make an attack and have refugees blamed for it?

(I don't like to speculate too much before we get the fuller story in court. But I want to be sure I've got my head round this accusation.)

I thought as the 100 days Is just two days away, we'd just about made it without 45 deciding to go for gold and take presidential action to "accomplish" something but no, he's still up for provoking North Korea.

Trump's publicity stunts are to distract from the latest news about Flynn and the fact that he’s accomplished almost nothing in 100 days.

But I guess that really isn't a surprising attitude from someone whose own 'success' is also based on inheritance rather than his own bootstraps.
