Trump's combative stance with media applauded by his supporters

41. Where Was the Proof on Obama?

I am pretty certain that the guy in this article was willing to believe every rumor about Obama and his administration. The difference between the Obama Administration and the Trump Administration is that there actually was not any evidence to support the claims made against President Obama and his administration. However, there is ample evidence against the Trump Administration.

First, Mike Flynn did do something wrong. He lied to Vice President Mike Pence about talking about sanctions with the Russian Ambassador. Flynn lied to the FBI, which apparently is a felony. If he had done nothing wrong why did he lie about the conversation he had with the Russian Ambassador. I do believe older people used to tell young people if you did nothing wrong there is no reason to lie. It is also possible that

Second, yes there is a story when someone lies to the Vice President and gets fired as a result. Lying to the Vice President is a big deal. Lying is not a mistake. I am sorry, but you do not just forget what you said to a Russian Ambassador. If in the event you did forget what you said to a Russian Ambassador and then told the Vice President something that turned out to not be true you still need to be fired due to incompetence.

Third, Yes, Flynn was taken down, but not by the media. He was taken down by his own bad behavior. It is amazing how some of these Republicans will downplay the bad behavior of their politicians. Had someone in the Obama Administration discussed sanctions with a foreign official while George W. Bush was still in office people like the guy in this article would have been calling for treason charges to be filed against President Obama. If it had been proven that someone in President Obama's Administration had lied about what was said to a foreign official Republicans would have called for that person to be fired and for Obama to be impeached.

Finally, President Trump has not kept all of his promises. He promised to "drain the swamp". He has done the exact opposite. He has filled the swamp with even more toxic sludge.
