So .... Mike Flynn this week filed paperwork with the DOJ saying he worked as a foreign agent, admiting he lobbied for Turkey, as recently as November 2016. He was paid $530,000.00 for his representation. 

Trump had no clue of this.  Flynn never told anyone in the campaign nor during his ascendancy to National Security Advisor. This consistent low bar setting, low vetting approach of advisors and cabinet secretaries by the Trump Whitehouse has put our government at serious risk. 

Combining this with the reckless dismissal of long tenured career policy experts in the State Department and elsewhere is weakening our ability in key areas of diplomacy, environmental regulation, health care policy and all other areas. It seems as if this administration is either willfully weakening the foundation of our government or doing it by blatant incompetence. Either way, it must be stopped. Congress must subpoena Trump's tax returns so they can gain an understanding of this man's real motivations. The time to stop the political gamesmanship is now.
