Via the NYT: Michael Flynn Failed to Disclose Income From Russia-Linked Entities.
Michael T. Flynn, the national security adviser who was forced out of the job in February, failed to list payments from Russia-linked entities on the first of two financial disclosure forms released Saturday by the Trump administration.
[…]
Mr. Flynn has faced fierce criticism for the Moscow speech and for his lobbying efforts for Turkey. But the work paid well, and the disclosure forms showed income of nearly $1.5 million, a sizable amount for a man who left the military less than three years ago.

Remember, Trump repeatedly stated that his team had no contacts with the Russians. Everytime something surfaces, he admits to only the precise detail that is revealed.
These people are traitors.
From theHill.com, this is Trump yesterday:
It’s going to take dogged reporting, and hopefully, an inevitable leak or disclosure by someone close to Trump to cause this house of cards to fall.
It’s like every day we discover something new about the Trump campaign being in bed with the Russians. Every other day?
This is the worst coverup ever. Where is the in house investigation that identifies a dozen sketchy things we didn’t know about, pins the blame on two low level staffers, and dominates the news for a few weeks while the administration’s supporters tell us that everything substantive has been revealed and it is time to move on to governing the country?
It’s the incompetence that I find most galling. Well, that and the potential treason and compromised presidency.
Why don’t the Russians demand better?

@MarkedMan: These people are traitors.
As are people like Nunes and Ryan. At this point we don’t know for sure what happened, but Nunes is actively blocking further House investigation. And Ryan seems to support him.
