Apparently, they didn't know. So much for Trump's extreme vetting, eh?

Interestingly, Elijah Cummings (D-MD) made the Trump campaign aware of his concerns about Flynn's connection to Turkey last fall, but Trump & Co. ignored it, now denying that they ever knew. Do these clowns ever speak without lying?

Told you the VP was doing the fake news thing, or maybe it's Cummings.

Um...of course he should? Are you saying that you don't think the President should personally vet his advisors??? Sure, he won't personally look into background checks and the like, but he should ask and determine critical questions like, say, if an advisor is working as a foreign agent.

The Donald's on a learning curve.
He wants "extreme vetting" for every refugee. Why not for his National Security Advisor?
