Trump knew about Flynn Talking to Russia

I just heard a question to the president from MSNBC reporter, Kristen Welker. She asked him (the president) if he directed Flynn to talk to Russia about the sanctions and, if not, is that why he (Flynn) was fired and he said, “No I didn’t. I fired him for what he said to Mike Pence…” He went on to say that he could have talked to Russia and other countries, “Mike was doing his job,” and it “would have been okay with me.” Then he said, “I would have directed him to talk to them if he wasn’t talking to them.” Did you catch that? He just answered that he didn’t know that Flynn had talked to Russia immediately following with “I would have directed him to do it if I thought he wasn’t doing it.”

“If I thought he wasn’t doing it.” He didn’t direct him to talk to Russia, but he would have directed him if he thought (knew) he wasn’t talking to Russia. Do you see what I’m saying, rather, do you see what the president just said? That means he knew that Flynn was talking to them. He either directed Flynn to talk with Russia or he knew that Flynn had talked to them about the sanctions. He just admitted it on television. Rewind that tape MSNBC. Rewind that press conference and watch (all the way through) when Kristen asks her question and the president answers. Watch the entire answer and his face and body language in “real time” as it was aired on television to the American public. He lied to Kristen and to America – that is the answer. You have it on tape.

Frankly, the entire press conference was a freak show and was terrible. You could see how disorganized and chaotic and (often) combative this so-called president presents himself. I was, further, stunned when another reporter (April Ryan who happens to be black) about the CBC being included in conversations with respect to inner-cities… He said to her, “are you going to set up the meeting?” It’s not only what he said, but how he said that (very) insulting question to this reporter that blew my mind. This man (as I’ve said all along) is not presidential. He is not cut out for this job and he is unhinged. If the GOP were smart, at all, they would quit trying to think of him as their puppet and start working with Democrats to investigate him. I guarantee they will find enough evidence to impeach this man soon if it doesn’t exist already. I believe it exists already.

I included the YouTube video of that press conference. Unfortunately, the video has a lot of ads. But, what's worse is the fact that I couldn't find MSNBC's version so you can't see Kristen standing up with a microphone asking her question. It's not the same quality as what I saw broadcast on air by MSNBC. This version seems to have been edited and (likely) posted by either a member of the Trump Insane Clown Posse or by the Trump team itself. That is why I am imploring NBC to release their version of the conference. I want everyone to see (and catch) what I saw very clearly. Keep in mind that I've had a lot of professional and personal experience with "reading people" and catching liars. I wish I would have been in that room so I could have called him on his shit.
