Gen. McCaffrey: "No Way" Donald Trump Wasn't Involved In Flynn's Contacts With The Russians | MSNBC
Seems to me that 99% of American hero’s are in the military, it’s all they can talk about,and look up to??Surely you can find others that have nothing to do with wars, starting wars,funding wars,.........🤔
Can't wait for that military parade. I wonder if Gen. McCaffrey will stand next to Nacho Cheese Napoleon on the review stand
Flynn lost his house thanks to your COUP traitor.
He is a true patriot.
The GOP is perfectly fine with selling out America to the Russians as long as they get big tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Putin's got nuclear missiles aimed right at Florida and Trump is more concerned with Alec Baldwin?
Granted Obama made some mistakes, but they weren't daily. At least he was a President that we didn't have to worry about him embarrassing us.
Trump is a pathological liar. No morals.
Trump has cheated his way to the WH, as with all his endeavors. He is nervous his schemes will be exposed. Unfortunately, in America if you get to the top of the food chain there is hardly any punishment for your atrocities.
Punishment is for the poor and the voiceless. Until now I didn't know that presidential powers are laced with all the privileges of a supreme monarch. Equality before the law is really a deceptive gimmick to smoothly f**k us all.
He wasnt around during the time period. Asswipe
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”...YEP involved alright
(caveat noted -" his personal opinion") Lt. Gen McCaffrey's statements seem reasonable.
When Diplomats meet with people from the Trump administration, they look at their watches and say, “You’re still here?” Tick tock, tick tock . . .
I DARE EVERYONE TO TUNE IN RUSH LIMBAUGH. FOR A FEW DAYS. MILLIONS OF HARD CORE LEFTIST HAVE DONE SO, AND SEEN THE LIGHT, AND BROKE FREE FROM THE LIBERAL LEFTIST ANTI AMERICAN AGENDA.
Louis Smith hahahahahaha! Suuure.
FAKE NEWS HAS FALLIN APART. THE TRUTH IS UNRAVELING
The USA is rotten and corrupt.
Amazing, simply amazing how many Perfect (almost GOD like) people these media companies find to staff their organizations.. please leave some messianic lords to walk amongst us stupid, flawed little people, or we may just walk around cluelessly bumping into closed doors, and staring at the sun.. p.s. come save us from the mean man who says words at us, and is shrinking the size of our wonderful, perfect, awsome, never wrong, and always truthful government..
THANK YOU
- MINDLESS MSNBC VIEWERS
Correct General, 45 is involved in the contracts with Russia. He praises Putin, and keeps lying about everything that's been investigated. He gave up evidence during the campaign, and everyday he still does. The orange clown is unfit, and selling America to the enemy. He is a racist, a traitor, corrupt liar, and con man. The world is laughing at America, and his uneducated base.
I took a nice big trump after my morning covfefe this morning.
Impeach Dementia Donnie before he gets us all Killed
Follow the money
TIME TO GO TRAITOR TRUMP !! ITS CALLED TREASON ORANGE ASSCLOWN WTF TRAITOR !!
Treason charges for Flynn and his former boss COVFEFE bigly.
Hahhahahaahhahahahahhahahahaa
Mark my word, Trumps and everyone involved in the Trump campaign will go to prison!
Trump always has things his way and no one else's. That's his pattern. He definitely knew.
Tillerson was misunderstood b/c Kushner/Ivanka took all the powers and messed around. They r Hilly/Bill the second anf they act like they r now the real secretary of state from the beginning. or presidentKushner.
There is nothing wrong with sending an envoy to foreign leaders by the President elect to have a meeting. Obama did it with Iran.
Sith Rocker Dont tell the truth about Obama. Youre a racist..
You nutjobs and your delusional Russian paranoia are running Trump's re-election campaign. Thanks!
Yes... yes... THIS will finally take down Trump! Pathetic.

Come on Mc Chrystal is an odd ball, a wild card that cant be controlled...that is no good in a general, the military has to come under the government in a democracy, thats why he was sacked. So if flynn is in the same category, this is truly bad....what else did he do to compromise the USA in his short tenure as NSA....
SOOOOO..The new trasition team is expected to talk to foreign officials,not illegal or wrong.Flynn chose to lie about it on his own accord,and was fired for doing so...Every new administration transition team does the same thing..No WRONG DOING...
pack of lies & media BS
Tillerson is a joke and has hurt our standing in the world. But then Trump has hurt us just as bad if not worse.
General McCaffrey, your personal statement validates what many intelligent Americans have been saying ever since this administration took power.
I miss normal American, with a normal, respectable president!!!
Boudica I miss Bush aswell.
Me too.Can paul Ryen be president?
He knew what going on..stop defending him...it's helping him! We want truth not lies!
nichole bryan what politician hasn't lied?
"Lieutenant", eh?
“He started to go off the rails” good grief then Trump hired him? And his wacky son the bad kid from toy story 1 I️
The next general in civil service. I smell a pattern.
This guy seems like an unbiased smart cookie. He praised Flynn for his good work and then seemed disappointed in Flynn's downfall. Respect. I will seek out interviews with him.
So I guess the General is showing Mueller all the proof he has on it.......yawn
Very wise general
ramos1258 Trumps even starting to slur his speech! Lock him up!
Billy Smith poor guy needs to be in old home.
well there's only 2 things trump could have done either he Knew exactly what his underlings were doing because he told them to. OR trump was too busy stuffing his face with crap fast food to notice what the people around him were doing. You can't have him running everything and Not notice what people around him are doing sooner or later he'd have to realize and it's far too late for fake outrage and throw them under the bus. Maybe if it was eariler on before he took office or Just after being swoen in
sara The Presidency was handed to him by the Mercers, Kochs, Republican Traitors And Putin. The Mercers filled his cabinet with the Alt Right Wingers. Their Nazi ties are evident. Anyone who cares can Fact check history and these criminal families.
I respect anyone who speaks truth.
203 cappadon yes, thx for Trump
203 cappadon well, 45 is out of that, the world knows he lies lmao
the truth shall set you free
"Retired Army Lieutenant Barry McCaffrey discusses whether or not this could potentially implicate President Donald Trump". Why does MSNBC care what a Lieutenant thinks. Surely a Captain or a Major would know more!
Thanks, reallyAZ nokidding, I was being facetious. Though, I bet Lt Gen McCaffrey would be furious at his demotion :)
winnywin
Lieutenant general.
Guilty by omission
McCaffrey thank you for speaking up and telling the truth.
At least in prison Mr Trump will get a healthier diet, instead of his current massive intake of just Mc Donald’s. Phew! No wonder he has to get up so early as he bolts to the toilet. Still, he can Twitter to you from the throne. Appropriate really when you get think about what he types.
Okay, Flynn was a good general in the military but then he became a mercenary. He would have helped Russia develop nuclear power facilities in oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia. He had ties to Russian Oligarchs in Turkey and was willing to do whatever for Erdogan for cash. He stood by while Russia interfered in our election and was in favor of eliminating sanctions against Russian banks like VEB that are no more than money laundering operations.
Rogue Intel services like Flynn Intel and mercenary groups like Blackwater can have undesirable consequences. Maybe it's right to reduce his sentence but they should probably have him under surveillance for the rest of his life.
Daffy Drump is trashing America.
I miss a respectable president who speaks like an educated adult
He was involved...
Royce Charlton if it had something to do with money, and Russia...yep, Trump was involved.
Royce Charlton I agree..
Drumpf, most of his campaign crew, family and cabinet were/are all in the deal to use the presidency as a tool to sell out anything and everything including democracy itself in one massive cash grab. #akaTreason
Didn't Britain already rescind and cancelled the invitation?
Ramatu Brimah yes, they did!
As far as i know the invite still stands but no date has been given.
Jeremy Backup I think it would be Great diplomacy and I wish every country did it to him.
I believe they had cancelled the invite and last I heard, they were bringing a motion up to parliament to vote in a Trump Ban, to prevent future visits as well. I don't think that will pass though, Trump is a traitorous monster, but it would still be bad diplomacy to outright ban him from their country.
Crooks hang with crooks!
apparently trump just cancelled his visit to the UK? that's a shame -- they were trying to get a few million to protest the moment.
Miguel Gordillo : He will NEVER show. It will keep being put off until he’s out of office. In a few months
No, the UK uninvited him
UK. Already had disinvited him after all the anti-muslim retweets. But I guess the voices in his head are telling him he cancelled it. Yeah, because that's not CRAZY at all.
Like usual, Trump was uninvited and then 'canceled'.
Same thing he does when people turn down invitations to the White House. After they publicly mention they don't want to visit the White House, he cancels their invitations. Same thing with his business council. After 75% of the board members left the council, he disbanded it and tried to make it look it it was all his idea.
Air force one would not touch the ground in the UK. You are wright there would be millions of protest.
oF COURSE TRUMP WAS INVOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The proof: Trump admitted it when he answered a question from the CNN correspondent about this same point in his press conference of Feb 16, 2016 . Trump answered that Flynn was doing his job by communicating with the Russians and that he (Trump) would have instructed Flynn to do so if he was not doing it, but I did not ask to do that....the admission is right here: Trump did not see any need to instruct Flynn to communicate with the Russians because he was a ware that Flynn was already doing so...common sense..!!
Jo smith Involved with your momma.But who wasint.
Jo smith really u got proof???
What did we learn about new people coming into this "adminstration"? Not long and they are torn up in the Pussygrabbers games... so this is not a step forward, its stepping in place - except they manage to run that clown-"president" into the ground and into jail.
Erwin Vomberg : The irony will be, people will soon be saying, “Look, it won’t be long, before Trump is gone. Then we can enact those SANCTIONS that still haven’t been acted on yet.” And the GOP will cry FOUL when THEY are out of office!
