Was that Hillary shouting “Lock him up” as Flynn walked into the court house?
We true Americans already owe a major amount of gratitude to Robert Mueller for his patriotic work to restore confidence in the government of this wonderful country and stop trumps gang from committing crimes against America.

How many months of investigation and all they could come up with is Lying to the FBI?
I hope that's a reduced charge for cooperation in the future or this whole shlt show was for NOTHING.

Maybe a limmericky reference....we all know Clinton would be the last to poke fun as she knows she was covered by the circled wagons of the party and the media and of course first and foremost the Obama DOJ.
Somehow the caliber of the optics against Trump are much different....as in for Clinton they all have sore necks from looking the other way.
Otherwise Clinton would indeed be locked up.

From what I've read online, it does appear they are giving him leniency in exchange for information. May explain why Trump tried so hard to get Comey to drop the investigation of Flynn. There was something going on that wasn't kosher.

This is pretty important stuff. Flynn has obviously cut a deal, and he was in the White House inner circle, had direct knowledge of what Trump did and said. Sally Yates brought to Trump's attention that Flynn had been compromised. Interestingly, Trump didn't clamp down on Flynn, but instead tried to get a loyalty pledge from Comey. Certainly overreach on the part of Trump, and with Flynn's testimony, possibly ties to obstruction of justice.

i believe it to be VERY significant , if what it appears to be is in fact true.
If he made a deal, he even comes before the obvious involvement of Trump, Jr and Kushner. Campaign, working with "somebody" on things such as the stupid child porno thing that his son was working with a the Russians to plant. The Russian involvement in that particular scheme has been validated totally and the son was heavily involved in minimum the distribution.
So, it is very significant !

The "optics" have changed and with this turn of events dramatically, as Clinton is the victim in this case.
Not different.....all the many many investigations by congress and the media have never turned up any evidence of wrong doing in the Clinton realm, but it appears there is a lot going on in this investigation and when you have credible evidence, the "optics" do change

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about Russia, and ABC News said he was prepared to testify that before taking office President Donald Trump had directed him to make contact with Russians."

Flynn lied. Lying is standard operating procedure in Washington. Apparently so is sexual harassment:D
Clinton impeachment was based on two counts 1) perjury 2) obstruction of justice. and the Democrats did the same thing then they are doing now Nothing. Clinton walked.
flynn is only accused of lying not perjury

January 27 - Trump responds not by firing Flynn, but asking Comey for a loyalty pledge.
January 30 - Yates fired.

With all his exposure, if this is all he’s pleading to, he has given something pretty important to Mueller in return.

"ABC News: Michael Flynn is prepared to testify that candidate Trump told him to “make contact with the Russians.”It was clear as soon as Flynn’s indictment was made public on Friday morning that the former national security advisor had flipped. He pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI later that morning—and now we know why. ABC News’s Brian Ross reports that Flynn has “promised full cooperation to the Mueller team” and is “prepared to testify ... against President Trump, against members of the Trump family, and others in the White House.” He is also prepared to testify that Trump, before his inauguration, “ordered him to make contact with the Russians.” Ross is reporting that Flynn made the decision to flip in the last 24 hours, citing the financial and personal pressure of the Mueller investigation."

From Laurence Tribe, constitutional scholar at Harvard
"It was Trump’s desperation to hide his campaign’s Russia involvement by protecting Flynn from Comey that led him to fire Comey and thus led to Mueller’s appointment, which in turn led to today’s grim news for Trump’s future. Karma!"

REMEMBER: Trump specifically asked Comey to drop his investigation of Flynn. When Comey refused Trump fired him, then bragged about it to the Russians

Ignore the 3 YEARS of investigations of Hillary which came up with only that the military was at fault for Benghazi.
And "all they could come up with" SO FAR is 4 indictments and two guilty pleas... how easily you forget Manafort, Paige, and Papadopoulos. Looks like Kushner is next rung up the ladder. Will he fall on his sword for Trump? Somehow I think not.

Let's not forget that Flynn was not fired until AFTER the Washington Post published it, thanks to leaks from patriots within the White House. And of course the DOJ has been going after "leakers" ever since. God forbid someone should report treasonous behavior to the press.

Nah...treasonous behavior is OK because it most likely has no connection to Clinton losing the election....:icon_wink:

Something else to keep in mind.
Jeff Sessions was asked a number of times if Trump asked him to hinder the Russian and he REFUSED to answer.
Important in my opinion because Flynn may know.
That is obstructing justice.

This country has never factually had such a presidency. Complete with firings, lying, deceit,.
The United States of America in one year has become somewhat of a laughing stock.
No American can believe this White House, nor should they.
AND you still bring up Clinton.
What in the hell does Trump lying, accusing and being so mean spirited, refusing to even enforce almost unanimious legislation against Russia have to do even remotely with Clinton or the election.

Flynn will testify that, at a minimum, he was instructed by Trump transition officials to make direct overtures to the Kremlin. His guilty plea is expected to result in testimony against those officials and, perhaps, Trump himself. Unlike other former campaign aides ensnared in the Russia scandal, Flynn’s closeness to the president cannot be dismissed. Despite warnings from the Obama administration not to hire the guy, Trump named him his national security adviser.

It is against the law for a U.S. citizen to undermine the foreign policy of a sitting president through contact with a foreign power. And the Obama administration’s decision to abstain on a vote for the resolution, allowing it to pass, was in direct contrast with the incoming Trump administration’s agenda.
