The political establishment views President Donald Trump as an "agent of change" and wants him out, former congressman Michael Patrick Flanagan said Friday.
The Illinois Republican told Newsmax's JD Hayworth the pursuit of Trump continued Friday when former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI as part of the Russia investigation.

"I have absolutely been saying this all along, that Trump is someone that they have to get rid of particularly. He's an agent of change. He's an agent of disruption," Flanagan said.
"And so you saw some of it this week with our old pal Joe Scarborough, our buddy, our friend, talking about Trump as if he has dementia and needs to be removed from office because he's unglued. That's part of the 'unfit to serve' meme that they will continue to drive and they will continue to push."
Flanagan added that he believes Trump will survive the Russia investigation and will remain in office. ABC News reported Friday, however, that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump himself ordered him to contact the Russians.
