Flynn lying about what his conversations with the Russians involved is not 'Russian ties' in your book ? You've taken cognitive dissonance to a whole new level.

Face it Helgard, the republicans have elected an autocratic demagogue of the worst order, a wannabe fascist with no sense of decorum and no respect for the office he holds who sees it solely as a tool for self-enrichment (for him and his cronies).

Now realizing this, people are forced to admit that they made a terrible, terrible mistake in trusting him. That is a very difficult thing for people to do. The hardest mistake to admit is the one where everybody now gets to say "I told you so". So instead, they are (like you and a few others here) plugging their ears and pretending it's all not really happening.
To quoth the furrier "Sad".
