There’s one part of the Trump fiasco that I just don’t get at all. Why is there this blind loyalty to Michael Flynn? Does anyone have any idea?

So the most innocent version I’ve seen is that while he might screw people he works with often he sometimes develops a weird loyalty especially in a case where he wasn’t entirely convinced he should have fired them in the first place.

The least innocent version involves a quid pro quo from the Russians during the election because Flynn is their man since there is apparently signals intelligence of Russian officers bragging about Flynn’s ability to influence Trump.

I suppose either scenario makes sense, if you flip the world inside out and upside down.

I’ve been wondering this myself. In Drumpf’s case, I suspect he feels like he was forced to fire Flynn, and as we all know, only the Yam himself is allowed to decide to fire people (ala Comey). Allowing the fake news people to push him into firing someone is being a loser.

That or Flynn knows where a body/bodies are literally buried. Along with the tax returns.

Oh… he really seems to idealize power and the military.  Flynn was one of “the generals.”  And not only is Flynn one of “the generals” but Flynn believes in and reinforces many things that Trump believes.  So, Trump could see himself reflected in someone who had a position that he idealizes.
