Michael Flynn perfectly explains Trump’s presidency

Although Michael Flynn was only Donald Trump’s national security adviser for 23 days, his rise, fall and resurgence — sort of — function as fitting bookends of Trump's four years in the White House. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why this often-overlooked character deserves more attention.

    1. I ate at a new restaurant today that just opened here in town and they were serving FAKE NEWS burritos, RIGGED ELECTION beans, and CHINA VIRUS rice. It upset my stomach so much that I had to race home to take a DONALD and wipe my TRUMP.

    2. if your asking me ,, i checked on that and all I could find was, actually its never been attempted but my opinion is I would thick its impossible and we cant move forward in time so that makes it illogical , hope I helped

    1. no mention of the democratic federal attorney Barr had review case that said case should be dropped

    2. @Nancy M. Ross no she was fired for saying she would would not enforce trumps an from 6 terrorist countries

    3. Or Biden trying to get transition money, while he’s not been elected by the electoral college. I’m glad the treasury put a hold on the 400 billion dollar covid/stimulus fund. He would’ve took that and went back to Epstein house with Hillary and Obama for Thanksgiving. Smh.

    1. It’s Obama who messed with the votes, then Hillary(but they messed up somewhere)now Joe. Check out Richard Piton. He just uncovered how they stole the votes!

    1. @terencelaoshi I’m a Christian, prepared to believe things without evidence, so naturally I have no difficulty believing Pence, who also believes things without evidence.

    2. @GO CAPS The first one of your two video links is missing a “t” between the two “u”s.
      The link without the “t” takes you to some shady site where a warning pops up.

  1. After careful consideration 🤔, it’s not that they flip-flop, no no, the fence is too far for them to get to the other side.

  2. Why don’t you just say they are both lying, corrupt scum as evidenced by…EVERYTHING about them. Good grief

    1. People inside CNN knows they have a problem, but there’s not a critical mass of people willing to stand up for what’s right. When good people like Greenwald and Weiss get mowed down for saying things that 80% of American believe, it’s going to take dozens of people to tame the mob. There’s a moral panic inside journalism right now.

    2. @GO CAPS No one believes garbage like this. Haven’t you learned by now that OAN just makes things up just like Trump does.

    1. Just if you are on the side of evil and take fake news as truth. In China they have just fake news. In the free word it still is just to turn of CNN and turn on your brain

    1. If you think that ,i suggest you watch the Michael Flynn interview from 2 days ago on worldview weekend. Michael Flynn and a bunch of others are going to be part of the armed takeover of America before the inauguration. Flynn is 100 percent behind trump and says so. Also Gen. Mcinerney stated that us special operations forces were killed by cia security officers at a cia server farm in Frankfurt Germany a week or so ago. This is going to be a shooting war very soon.
