"SNIP.....


Michael Flynn, who served briefly as President Trump’s national security adviser, filed an amended federal financial disclosure report late Thursday providing new details about his contracts with the Trump presidential transition, a company connected to an Iranian American businessman, and the parent company of a data science firmthat worked for the Trump campaign.

In a letter accompanying his revised disclosure, Flynn noted that his initial disclosure reports were filed under rushed circumstances without the customary consultation and review provided by White House lawyers and the Office of Government Ethics. The letter said Flynn did not receive the attention afforded others because he was no longer a White House employee at the time.

Flynn resigned his post just 24 days after taking office amid reports that he misled Vice President Pence about the nature of his contacts after the election with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Flynn also drew criticism over foreign payments he received while working in the private sector after stepping down as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014. In a previous disclosure to House investigators Flynn reported receiving nearly $68,000 in fees and expenses from Russia-related entities in 2015.

2. So, and stop me if I'm off base here,

Flynn's excuse for not disclosing these connections was because: things were so busy with the transition and inauguration I just didn't have the time to report them??? You've got to be fucking kidding me!! That's the equivalence of "Sorry, my dog ate my homework". What a ginormous pile of crap he's trying to spew!!! It becomes clearer by the day that every one of these idiots is just trying to cover their own asses!

3. More like this.

"They needed to be turned in fast. Everybody else had the teacher look at their essay to see if it was okay, but there wasn't enough time for mine. And when everybody was handed theirs back for a rewrite, I wasn't in the class any more."

Sort of like somebody filing taxes without having their tax guy look over the 1040, and then not following the herd when everybody else submitted their revisions during the summer. You can still do it, but you're the wildebeest that's strayed from the pack when there's a pride in the area.
