- Who protects the middle class? Why can we get a straight story form the media? The lead story was General Flynn talked to the Russians – he was supposed to! What he did wrong was be less that truthful to the Vice President – that is an unforgivable breach – and a General should have known that. The real story is the leaks, the rumors and the spying on Americans – then publishing their name!! Very scary. Government taking political sides. Time to drain the swamp.
