So, he made a bad choice. He fired him in 18 days.
Obama made the same bad choice. Took a lot longer to fire him.
And we don't know that he was compromised. He did have undisclosed conflicts of interests which look bad. That is different than actually being "compromised." He appears not to have disclosed his Turkish consulting and may not have disclosed his more limited Russian business. The non-disclosure are his issues.

RE: Flynn pleads the 5th. Will Decline Senate Subpoena....
From testimony we know there is direct evidence he was compromised by the Russians. They told Trump that and he still hired him. That should tell you something but it won't.

It tells me you are severely TDS. There is zero direct evidence he was "compromised."
The facts are he was paid for a speech in Moscow. He had what appears to be a routine meeting with the Russian ambassador as many people in DC have. It appears he did not disclose that. That does not mean "compromised." Podesta and Hillary got far more from the Russians. If you claim Podesta and Clinton were comprised, then you don't sound quite so delusional, just excessively distrustful.

Nope. Oblunder does. He hired Lynch, an AG who conspired with Killary's husband on a tarmac. He hired Holder, a man who furnished the cartel much needed hardware. He hired Killary, a woman who botched up in Benghazi and got 4 people killed. He hired the Sec. of State that gave the Iranians a whole shiteload of ransom money. ETC, ETC.
We, conservatives, are overjoyed with his picks. If the Libturds don't like them, tough titties. That in itself makes us giddy just for the fact that we don't like y'all and anything that you gives you pain in the buttocks syndrome is pleasing to us.

That's true, although sometimes it is not the crime they are being charged with (or suspected of).

He was EMPLOYED by the Russian government the entire time he was on the campaign
He worked to remove language in the GOP platform critical of Putin's war in Ukraine.

He worked for RT, which is the Russian government. The GOP platform interference isn't even in question.

He is pleading the 5th because he has not been charged with a crime.

Maybe instead of worrying about what conservatives are doing you should track down the posters in the above linked threads and try to modify their behavior. You know....the whole sweep your own porch before you worry about your neighbors thing and all.

It would be stupid to. Congress is on a witch hunt. Dems are after Trump. Republicans are looking for a person to point fingers at. And he does have some issues.
Tom is, as usual, posting false info. From the left's favorite source:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/us/po...enate.html
...Much of Mr. Flynn’s troubles center on his failure to properly disclose payments he received from a company tied to the Turkish government, and from Russian companies, including RT, the Kremlin-financed news network that paid him $45,000 to give a speech in Moscow in December 2015. On the same trip, he attended RT’s lavish anniversary party, where he was photographed sitting at the elbow of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
As a retired military intelligence officer, Mr. Flynn is supposed to clear all income from foreign sources with the Pentagon. But he failed to clear the payments from RT and other Russian companies, and he also failed to disclose the income when his security clearance was up for review the following year.
Mr. Flynn also appears to have not fully disclosed lobbying he did on behalf of the Turkish government during the final months of the campaign, when he was serving as one of Mr. Trump’s top national security advisers.
After being fired by Mr. Trump, Mr. Flynn belatedly filed paperwork as a foreign agent for that work, which was paid for by a Turkish-American businessman who has close ties to the government in Ankara....
