Why Was Flynn Set Up?
It was probably to protect the Trump-Russia probe.

Hezbollah
Better late than never. Germany has banned it, and invaded its mosques.
May Day
…should be renamed “Victims of Communism Day.” Ten relevant films.

Flynn never violated the Logan Act, but John Kerry did repeatedly. But that’s different because shut up.
[Noon update]
