For those who object to the “Urban” admonition “Don’t snitch” when it comes to reporting crime in certain neighborhoods, they need to know it’s not an “urban” thing at all. The only thing is that the “Don’t Snitch” thing is direct and to the point. But it exists elsewhere with a subtlety that makes it hard to notice.
It is the upper-crust white collar to the “urban” blue collar.
As The Obama administration came to a close, the CIA director, John Brennan, and the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, were concerned that Michael Flynn had put himself and the soon to be Trump administration in a compromising position and thought that Mike Pence needed to know that he had been misled.
And so they informed the incoming administration who ignored the information.
Flynn was eventually asked to reign. He wrote a letter of resignation that President Trump accepted.
Flynn had had a phone conversation with a Russian diplomat on the day President Obama established sanctions on Russia, and that brought up some questions.
What did Flynn discuss?
Did he make any promises to Russia?
What will the effect of his conversation be on the United States’s future?
Was the White House aware of Flynn’s conversations and their content, and if so, for how long?
These are questions that need to be answered.
When you ask someone if they did something, and they say, “no”, either they are telling the truth or lying, and an investigation is needed to find out which.
If the response is, “I don’t recall”, then you know they are lying especially if the action was recent and important.
As a good friend said recently, “Most often when ‘I didn’t’ becomes ‘I don’t recall,’ the truth is, he did”.
In a February 8 interview with The Washington Post, Michael Flynn denied discussing sanctions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. It was the same public assertion made by top Trump officials in January.
On February 9, the next day, Flynn told the Washington Post that he “couldn’t be certain that the topic never came up.”

How does a person not remember what he spoke about on the phone with a foreign official?
But, conservative lawmakers are declaring that they will not investigate the White House for its involvement in the Michael Flynn scandal when he assured Russia it could ignore American sanctions until Trump could remove them, and then telling the vice president he hadn’t done that.
Now that Flynn has resigned, the GOP, who couldn’t drop the Benghazi investigations even though each one came up negative so they called a new one, and was totally obsessed with emails, feels everything is just fine now and the situation has been resolved, even as the above questions have yet to be answered.
Paul Ryan Thinks it is acceptable to let the administration clear things up on its own. Who better to investigate a possible violation of law and procedure than the one accused of the violation?
Rand Paul said,
“I think that might be excessive. It looks like the President has handled the situation, and unless there’s some kind of other evidence of malfeasance, this sounds like something that was internal White House politics and it looks like the President’s handled it,”
He obviously is overlooking that any “other evidence of malfeasance” could possibly be discovered though an investigation.
And ignoring previous investigation after investigation, he went on to say,
“I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party. We’ll never even get started with doing the things we need to do, like repealing Obamacare, if we’re spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense.”
Now that is glaringly and insulting ironic.
The House Oversight Committee chair, Jason Chaffetz is refusing to investigate Trump for any scandals.
Republican Representative Devin Nunes said he doesn’t care about the Trump administration’s ties to Russia. What he does care about is doing something about those who “leaked” what Flynn had done.
Donald Trump believes the same thing.
Committing the crime can be ignored, reporting it is what needs to be punished.
Message from the GOP to anyone who might be aware of wrong doing that could harm the United States:
DON’T SNITCH”
