Comey Fired
"Gen. Flynn is a wonderful man. I think he has been treated very, very unfairly by the media, as I call it, the fake media in many cases. And I think it is really a sad thing that he was treated so badly." -Trump
Gen. Flynn Fired for lying to VP Mike Pence and senior officials about talks with Russian ambassador Kislyak. Kislyak and Flynn purportedly talked about sanctions against Russia prior to Trump's inauguration.
In a face the nation interview Trump asserts that Flynn's national security clearance came from the Obama admin, not the Trump Admin.
"This man has served for many years, he's a general, he's a — in my opinion — a very good person," said Trump. "I believe that it would be very unfair to hear from somebody who we don't even know and immediately run out and fire a general." -Trump in interview with Lester Holt on NBC
"I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go." -What Comey claims Trump told him the day after Flynn was fired
Trump tweets: "Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!"
Flynn lies to FBI about contacts with Kislyak. This lie was confirmed by Flynn when he plead guilty to lying to the FBI on Nov. 30th, 2017.
