Flynn. Holy shit.

In the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign, then-Trump adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn made an unreported trip to the Middle East to work on a joint U.S.-Russian venture in Saudi Arabia, possibly having multiple contacts with Saudi officials that he failed to disclose when seeking renewal of his security clearances, according to Democrats who are seeking detailed records of Flynn’s travels.

“Most troubling of all, we have no record of General Flynn identifying on his security clearance renewal application - or during his interview with security clearance investigators - even a single foreign government he had contact with,” wrote Reps. Elijah Cummings and Eliot Engel, the ranking members of the House oversight and foreign affairs committees, in a letter published on Monday.

The Democrats have demanded documents related to all of Flynn’s work on the Saudi nuclear venture, which not only involved a joint Russian-U.S. effort to construct the nuclear reactors, but a plan to have Arab countries repay the Russians with the purchase of “Russian military hardware,” the letter says, citing internal documents from companies involved in trying to solidify the deal.

You fuckin’ kidding me?
