Chaffetz now investigating Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn for multiple payments from Russia

And the plot thickens. You think it's getting too close to Trump so they're diverting with Flynn again? Yesterday Chaffetz said he would not investigate Flynn because "the situation is taking care of itself. Why did Chaffetz do a 24 hour 180?

----

The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution bars office holders from accepting direct and indirect gifts or payments from foreign governments. Flynn retired from the Army in 2014, but the Department of Defense has said the clause also applies to retired military officers because they may re-enter service.

Flynn made a number of appearances on RT, the Russia propaganda media outlet. In 2015, he sat next to Russian President Vladimir Putin at a gala in honor of RT in Moscow. Flynn told The Washington Post he was merely a guest at the event and did not ask to sit next to Putin.

The lawmakers are seeking information about who arranged and funded Flynn?s trip to Moscow, a complete list of his appearances on RT and whom he interacted with at the network, and his speaking contract from Leading Authorities.

The probe follows Flynn?s resignation as national security adviser after reports that he?d discussed sanctions with Russian officials in late December prior to Donald Trump?s inauguration. Flynn?s talk with Sergey Kislyak, Russia?s ambassador to the U.S., came a day before President Barack Obama?s administration announced sanctions on the Russian government.

?We are attempting to determine the amount Lieutenant General Flynn received for his appearance, the source of the funding, and whether he may have received payments from any other foreign sources for additional engagements,? Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chair and ranking member of the committee, wrote in a letter on Thursday.

Yeah he lied to the FBI, a felony, but Trump told Sessions to drop it.

Chaffetz in the House Oversight Committee is separate from the FBI.

So far as I am concerned, Trump just confirmed all of this. During his press conference today he said these leaks are illegal. The only way the leaks are illegal are if they are true, and if the information we are being fed is in fact true.... Then the Trump administration has been direct and regular contact with the Russians since before they won the election... which brings up an entire new line of questions - we knew the Russians interfered and influenced our election, but now we need to know if Trump took part in this.

It seems that they did - the claimed at one point that they direct access to information at WikiLeaks before it came out. There was hacking involved, which is illegal, and if the Trump people were involved in any of this they might have broken laws.

This is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. We invested Benghazi nine times even though we knew there was no wrong doing. We also invested Hillary's email even though we knew there was no wrong doing. In both cases we knew there was no legal case. Here we have a lot of evidence of Russian involvement in our election yet no investigation. And please do not tell me we do not have evidence of this - the United States government has slapped sanctions on Russia for this, and now a top member of the Trump administration has stepped out. We now for a fact Russia interfered with our election, and we know for a fact that the Trump people were in touch with both the Russians and Wikileaks during the election.

We must investigate this to the fullest extent of the law. This is not about politics, nor is it about removing Trump from office. It's about Russia directly interfering with our election.

Flynn called Russia 5 times in a single day and discussed sanctions ( after first lying to the FBI & VP Pence saying he didn't ) Flynn didn't act alone, Flynn was referring to multiple other people including Trump ( stating the obvious )

It will all come out in time but with the GOP corruption we have it will be after they've used Trump to get everything they needed passed then they'll throw Trump under the bus, unless something even bigger and undeniable is leaked from intelligence, or Russia.

Even if he did, it's still not illegal

How is it illegal for the administration in power to discuss sanctions with other countries?

There is no doubt in my mind that he was acting under direct orders from Trump. Trump, because of his complete and utter lack of political experience, had no idea it is illegal for a private citizen to negotiate on behalf of the United States without authorization. Trump was the President Elect at the time; He had zero power, and no official position.

But this is just the start. It's very clear that Trump has ties to Russia he is not explaining. Direct from his son:

The same year he sold the mansion, his son, Donald Drumpf Jr., told the global trade publication eTurboNews that Russians were key investors in the Drumpf Organization?s assets. "And in terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York,? Trump Jr. said in the interview. ?We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."

Mike Flynn is an Obama Democrat. Any trips to Russia would have been done prior to working for Trump. So this is about Obama and Hillary moreso than Trump.

Now I understand why you ask stupid questions - you are just parroting reddit - this didn't happen during the current administration - it was before they became the administration - when they were still "civilians" not employed by the US - and that makes it illegal

That's about the stupidest thing Ive read today - He was the keynote speaker at the Republican Convention - he only worked in the government as military assignments and was fired from his position because he was against Obama
Where some of you idiots get your info should probably be reconsidered

Flynn was told by the Obama Whitehouse not to goto Russia & went anyway... remember? Also, Obama fired Flynn because he was anti American and toxic in his leadership... remember? I'm sure this is why Trump liked & trusted Flynn, stupid thinking.

BTW you're not one of those blame Obama & Clinton for anything that goes wrong with Trump people are you?

yes, they betted their money on the wrong person.
Just like many industries and other governments.
Russia put the money on the winner this time.
