6. Why did Trump choose Flynn to begin with??

How did he know him?

Did he know of his Russian connection? Was he similar to Tillererson? He had never met him until he decided to make him Secretary of State? But he did have a connection to Russia. And that seemed important to Trump at the time, for whatever reason?

And, although Flynn stayed in his position for 24 days, Trump was told many days before by Sally Yates about Flynn's connection with the Russians. Yet, Trump did nothing?

So, how were these people vetted? Was a simple handshake and "welcome to the Trump team"?

And, what does it say about the rest of the people in the White House? Were any of them vetted? Was Sean Spicer vetted? Was Wilbur Ross vetted? Was Steve Mnuchin vetted? Was anyone vetted?
