The controversy surrounding former national security adviser Michael Flynn just took a new twist.
The Trump team has maintained that they knew nothing of his foreign ties to Turkey and Russia, but a new report says he was vetted, though not thoroughly.
Sources told NBC News that with Flynn the process was “done very casually.”
One source said the Trump transition team was even aware of Flynn’s business ties to Turkey.
…..
Flynn is in deep, and none of this looks good.
Several weeks ago, Flynn offered to testify in the probe concerning Russian interference in the 2016 election, in exchange for immunity, but so far, his offer has been declined.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to deny they were involved in vetting him, and they’ve even blamed former President Obama’s administration for poor vetting.
……
I don’t know if relying on somebody else’s work and not checking for yourself is a valid excuse. Trump is basically saying they put people in sensitive positions and don’t bother to check them out.
Not reassuring.

He knew. He was okay with it until the public found out and it looked bad.
