Michael Flynn admits  to breaking “stupid” rules during Army career.

Flynn, Donald Trump’s newly named national security adviser, told The New Yorker’s Dana Priest that he would sneak out of the CIA station in Iraq when he was assigned there without the “insane” required approval from headquarters. He also said he had technicians install an Internet connection in his Pentagon office, even though it was forbidden.

Another time, Flynn said he gave classified information to NATO allies without approval, which resulted in an investigation and a warning from superiors.

Flynn’s former colleagues the Defense Intelligence Agency, where he served as director, described him as someone they liked personally, but not as a good leader.

He would often say things that weren’t true, one subordinate told The New Yorker, such as stating that Iran had killed more Americans than al Qaeda.

Flynn was also known to have a temper, former associate said, and berated people of front of colleagues.

    One word: TREASON.

    Y’know, maybe they should keep Gitmo open – just for Flynn.

    Since when does he get to decide which rules are “stupid?”

    What? No Republicans jumping on this? It’s got servers and e-mails, maybe even a Benghazi.

    We need to convene no less than 9 investigations and an 11 hour hearing ASAP.

    Trey Gowdy would say that the Trump mandate negates any criminal or treasonous activity by Flynn….oh and by the way we will start a new set of hearings on Benghazi and the Clinton emails.

    Almost all of his picks so far,leave even little hope in his own supporters.Hes already disappointing in a BIGLY way.Maybe it’s because he only sleeps 2-4 hours a night,and tweets too much.He is doing what many of us tried to warn about months ago.Putting all far right wackos in charge.Romney,Newt,Flynn,Sessions,Sheriff Clarke,was considering Jerry Falwell Jr. for “education” secretary etc.etc.Putting wall st.ceos in charge of the financial system.Im surprised he hasn’t yet named duck dynasty and Alex Jones to some crucial office.But he still has close to 2 months.

    This is an incredibly dangerous man that PO got rid of.
    He is exactly like Orange Hitler. This is going to be disastrous.

    A perfect fit for this administration.

    I wonder what he felt about Hillary’s private server?
