Trump Dodged a Bullet When he Fired Flynn

The last thing Trump needed was a giant Achilles Heal named Flynn, when most of D.C. and 90+% of the media are barraging him with slings and arrows. It was Trumps outrageous good fortune to have fired the duplicitous and untrustworthy Flynn. m/r

White House says Flynn acted as ‘private citizen’ while lobbying for Turkey during campaign

White House press secretary denies anything ‘nefarious’ in Flynn’s work arrangement

By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Thursday, March 9, 2017 

‘nefezious’
The White House said Thursday that President Trump didn’t know his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was working as a foreign agent for Turkey during the campaign last year.
“I don’t believe that was known,” said White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
But Mr. Spicer said Mr. Flynn, who was fired by the president last month for misleading top administration officials about his conversations with a Russian diplomat before the inauguration, had done nothing wrong in his lobbying work.
“This is what he did for a living. He was being compensated,” Mr. Spicer said. “He was a private citizen at the time. There’s nothing nefarious about doing anything that’s legal as long as the proper paperwork is filed.”
Mr. Flynn registered as a foreign agent with the Justice Department on Tuesday for lobbying work he did for the Turkish government during last year’s U.S. presidential campaign. He claimed $530,000 worth of work from August through November 2016 that “could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey.”
