Michael Flynn Is Ollie North: Broke Law Talking To Russians | Crooks and Liars
"What is it about Republicans that they just can't help themselves becoming traitors to the United States Government when it comes to foreign policy? In 1980, Ronald Reagan forced Iranian hostages to stay in captivity several extra MONTHS to ensure his election as President. Ollie North illegally sold Israeli weapons to Iran and funnelled the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua, all in direct violation of a law that said very specifically "DO NOT DO THAT." And don't get me started about the George W. Bush administration and torture and war profiteering and lying about WMD's. Are we supposed to be surprised that Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Flynn talked to the Russians about removing sanctions (which are supposed to punish them for interfering with our election on behalf of Trump) BEFORE he took office, in direct violation of statutes that say NO MIKE FLYNN you can't make foreign policy from your cellphone just because the Russians helped your boss win an election."
