Michael Flynn has got to be pissed at Donald Trump over Jared Kushner

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

You’re Michael Flynn, the world’s angriest man to begin with. You’re the one who involuntarily took one for the team when you got pushed out as the fall guy, just as Donald Trump’s Russia scandal was first exploding. You’ve loyally kept quiet all this time because, well, who knows why. And now you’re about to watch Trump refuse to do to Jared Kushner what he did to you, because Kushner is literally family, and Trump thinks you’re just some schmuck. What do you do?

That’s what we’re about to find out. Smart money says that Donald Trump won’t nudge his son-in-law Jared Kushner into resigning his White House job any time soon. Instead Trump will bend over backward to make sure his daughter’s husband retains a prominent role in the administration. Nevermind that at this point Kushner is alleged to have done far more egregious things than Flynn did. Michael Flynn was just trying to screw with sanctions. Kushner is now accused of having tried to essentially set up a backchannel shadow government so he could swap U.S. government favors in exchange for Russian bank financing for the Trump cartel.

Right now the already perennially pissed off Michael Flynn has got to be blowing a gasket. Why did he have to take one for the team if Kushner gets to stay? Why is Flynn now on the outside, begging for immunity, trying to use the Fifth Amendment to stave off the inevitable, taking the blame? Now it’s starting to sound like Kushner was the evil mastermind behind the Trump-Russia collusion from the start, and Flynn was just along for the ride.

So what does Michael Flynn do now? Is this the straw that breaks the General’s back? Will he finally decide to sell out everyone else involved so he can save himself? Flynn still has a chance to do the right thing – even if he might only do it because he can’t live with the idea that Trump sold him out in favor of his own son-in-law.
