#3 Coup against Trump? It started before he was elected. It is the tyranny of progressivism. You can't win at the ballot box, so you try to take down a Constitutionally elected POTUS subversively. Every American should be concerned!

#4 Trump is a threat to the beltway party. Among other changes, he wants to put a stop to 'Endless Wars' which appears to be the bread and butter of the Deep State. 'Regime change' has been brought home to us.

#5 Every American should be concerned!

Yes. Because the cosmopolitan globalists aren't Americans. When you hear the phrase 'white nationalist' in a country that is 75 percent white, you know they have no tolerance of Americans or their Constitution.

#6 Every American should be concerned!

#7 The important thing here is the largest non-democracy party took power 8 years ago and were shocked to know they had not rigged the system sufficiently to retain power indefinitely during the last election.

The day will come when they get back into power when they will succeed, and it will be by far more brutal means.

#8 McMaster is cleaning up the mess Flynn left. Flynn was an Obama appointee, remember? And he was part of the swamp, living off of beltway pull after he retired. His appointment was a mistake that Trump quickly fixed.

The infighting is nasty, with the Swamp aiding and abetting leakers and anyone else, including alt-right conspiracy nuts, in order to make Trump and his staff look bad.

#9 Re #8 Yes, Flynn was not even one of DeGaulle's "indispensable men." Why Trump let the asshole Bannon talk him into Flynn is a mystery that won't be unraveled anytime soon.

#10 Flynn was not even one of DeGaulle's "indispensable men."

I pray you're right - but I doubt it.

Concur and a thousand thumbs up. Flynn was the classic sycophant and self promoter. Also the type to attempt to blow things up after he leaves to prove how "indispensable" he was.

#12 This is nothing more than a coup attempt by the DC elites. Why are the republicans not striking out??? Why are they defending and siding with the Dems. Short answer is they are putting their political control of this nation above the peoples wishes. They do not serve We the people. They are attacking the very leader we elected. They are using a special council with a grand jury to isolate and destroy the president in the same fashion that was used in Columbia to capture Pablo Escobar. They will pull in every person that has ever done business with Trump into the grand jury. The antics will be public. They will make wild accusations and charges. A defense by the accused is not permitted, by law. Don't believe it? Look it up. They are going to turn honest men and women into scapegoats for crimes they did not commit. And why are they doing this? There has yet to be evidence of a crime? This is the systematic tearing apart of an individual in the hopes of finding some dirt. In the hopes of stopping the president from performing his duties. When you act like this its because you cant have an outright coup, so you bind him up in a legal fishing trip. Last question, how many of you that read this could stand this level of investigation, and the level of lies with zero ability to defend yourself????
