Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu met with designated U.S. National security adviser Rt. Gen. Minke Flynn on Wednesday at Trump Hotel in Washington.

”Mt with General Flynn, who will assume the position of National Security Advisor, and other officials at a working breakfast in Washington, D.C.,” Çavuşoğlu tweeted.

The meeting marks a first direct reach out between the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan  administration and the incoming Donald Trump administration, other than a phone call between two leaders last November.

House Intelligence Committee Congressman Devin Nunes, a Republican heavyweight, also attended the breakfast.

I fail to see how all this don’t end up badly for Flynn and the Trump administration – but then these kinds of nefarious going-on may be more ubiquitous than I would imagine.

Just look at WikiLeaks and that tells you how things could not go badly for the Trump and co. For two reasons:

1. WikiLeaks used to be an independent purveyor of truth. The issue now is they now filter when to seek justice and when not to.
2. WikiLeaks shows us things happen and are covered up.

If Trump gets impeached I would expect things to go horribly financially for the US and we may see a modern day civil war.

I am not up to speed as to why trump failure leads to financial disaster – not saying you are wrong – just saying I am not clear on the nexus ---- as to the civil war – that may be happening as we speak.

Every time I see Nunes, he looks like he's really worried about something. Now I know what it is. He will soon have no choice but to resign as Committee Chairman because he will become a target of the investigation currently being conducted by the committee he chairs.

He jus look like somebody who got in way over his head – like he was star-struck with trump’s attention and now he is caught in this web of intrigue and looking for a lifeline – report is that he was in a uber, got a phone call, got out of the uber and was missing until nest evening.

I agree that he's in over his head. But that dash to the Whitehouse the other day might have been a panic move triggered by fear he was incidentally wiretapped while serving on the Trump transition team.

If Trump was to be removed as president what would the likely reason be?
- He stole the election.

Don't you see the chaos that would cause?

The anti-establishment movement do not want Pence.
The people who voted for Hillary will be angry.

Chaos.

To be honest I would suggest at that juncture they give Obama another 4 years cool

The only president to serve more than two terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1940 he won the election for his third term. Four years later in 1944, he ran again. He became the only president to be elected to a fourth term.


Never too late to amend the amendment.

Nonsense. Trump's impeachment would not hurt the U.S.

As much as some delusional people want Trump to bring their jobs back, they don't want criminal behavior in the Whitehouse, it will not lead to civil unrest.
