Stirewalt: Flynn Was ‘Problematic’ for the W.H. Since the Day He Arrived Because of Russia

‘Flynn’s contacts with the Russians and his enthusiasms for the Russian geo-political stance were problematic throughout the process’

EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "Well let's reiterate, we know that essentially there’s two theories of the case and we talked about this the other day. There’s two theories of the case; either there was inappropriate relationship between the Kremlin and its agents and people on Donald Trump’s campaign or people who worked in the Obama national security apparatus tried to make it look like there was. Either of those things would be a big honking deal. Flynn’s contacts with the Russians and his enthusiasms for the Russian geopolitical stance were problematic throughout the process and he has -- there’s a reason he got canned at the White House. And it wasn't just because, we found out later, it wasn’t just because that he lied to Mike Pence and let Mike Pence go out on television and make a fool of himself, but in fact 'The New York Times' reported that that was basically the -- the cover story that they came up with. The truth about Flynn is he’s been problematic for this organization since basically the day he arrived and it's mostly because of Russia."
