Won't be long until the legal fees for each of these scoundrels is in the millions. Who's paying top dollar to keep them out of the clink, I wonder? Trump had to stop draining the RNC coffers for his own legal team recently.

I have one request for Special prosecutor Mueller.

SQUEEZE really hard!

It's amazing how the very real threat of imprisonment loosens tongues and jogs memories. It was just the same with Watergate. Nail these bar stewards to the wall and impeach Herr Drumpf

probing possible collusion between Donald Trump's campaign team and Russia

Just wanted to reinforce the point that the investigation is focused on the campaign team, which includes Trump, but is in no way limited to just him. Conservatives will be here shortly to present an alternate reality.

And on top of that, the obstruction of justice investigation is just getting started.

Please impeach Trump before he orders a nuclear strike somewhere as a mass diversion.

Reminder: Michael Flynn and Donald Trump both have progeny suffixed "junior" - and both are possibly in more legal jeopardy than their fathers.

Whatever Mueller finds, the main thing is registering and voting, next year, 2020, state and federal.

Exorcise the GOP demons. All of them.

Just thinking this is all I want for Christmas :)

Good! Now Michael Flynn can answer for whatever Michael Flynn has done wrong (if anything) in his business. Then all the non election/campaign related speculation tying any of his wrongdoings to others can stop.

Crazy Joe is absolutely right about this!!

Yes, because then we'll know exactly what does or does not tie his wrongdoings to others.

Oh, I think we're a bit beyond speculation now. What exactly happened? We don't know. But someone in the Trump administration certainly does. Flint obviously knows at least part of what happened, enough to get someone higher up the food chain in trouble.

By the way, did you see this?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/11/23/new-manafort-travel-docs-reveal-closer-ties-to-russia-report.html

Paul Manafort had taken 18 trips to Moscow and was in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allies for more than a decade before running President Trump’s 2016 election campaign, a new report said Thursday.

Remember when you claimed nothing in the Manafort story implicated Russia, but seemed to suggest it was actually Ukraine. Well, that's not quite true now, is it? hmmmmm... hee hee ;)

Mueller would only accept Fynn's flip if Flynn had information useful to prosecute someone else. Mueller already has a good case to send him and his son to prison. If Flynn has no information on others, he has no value to Mueller, and Mueller would just prosecute him for whatever crimes were discovered.

Hmm, lying to the FBI about having contacts with Russians seems to be a common theme.

Maybe Flynn was just a coffee boy too, and Trump didn't really know him.

Well, Obama warned Trump about Flynn.

It's clear at this point Flynn has made a plea deal.

Manafort will be next, he only has sooooo much to snitch on that it's a lengthy procedure.

Maybe this will help jog the strange memories of Sessions or Kushner.

Drip. Drip......

A rather inflammatory, divisive comment there old lad.

Now I know in Russia suspects are rounded up and confess in 24 hours, but investigations actually means something in a democracy.

The scope of Mueller's investigation is pretty wide. The murky dealings of Trump and his cronies as we are seeing is gargantuan. Don't worry though, there's more to come.

1 ( +1 / -0 )

When they finally got Clinton the investigation had started with something completely different (like Whitewater) but these investigations don't stop and go from allegation to allegation exhaustively until something comes up (Lying about Monica Lewinsky affair). So we don't know what the investigation will find (still). But this is one cheesy group of people (especially) so something is bound to come up. In fact, some things already have. How long can the Trump cult continue? The trump followers will continue to follow this crude man even if he is impeached. Yes, it's the Trump cult.

Flynn, an honourable man who chanted 'Look her up', and claimed that anybody wanting immunity for testimony is guilty as sin. My, my, my. Talk about the tables turning, the shoe switching to the other foot. Karma's a biatch.

Yup. And this party is just getting started....

Ok so once again you guys think this is leading somewhere. Haven’t we been down this road like 5 times already and spent over a year on it?

Whatever Flynn did (if anything) he will be indicted for it. Won’t see Trump’s name in his indictment just like it wasn’t on Manafort’s.

I don’t care if Manafort went to Russia 500 times. Unless Trump directed him to go there on his behalf and gin to do something illegal, it’s only Manafort who is guilty.

Guilt by association.

Guilty by association refers to the attribution of guilt without any proof on individuals solely for the reason that those whom they associate with are guilty.

I guess our Russian contributors need to read up. That's not to say there won't be much more other damming evidence in the pipeline. Trump hasn't half made some enemies...

You do know that very often when the FBI puts the squeeze on someone, they will often say anything just so that they can get out of a bind, that’s happened thousands of time. Also, we don’t even know if Flint knows anything or if what he knows has anything at all to do with Trump. As of now I seriously doubt it, but hey, Mueller go ahead, do your worst. Lol

Mueller already has a good case to send him and his son to prison.

Garbage. If Mueller did, he would haul both in ASAP and that hasn’t happened. Manafort knew he was in serious trouble as well as Flynn, the president is confident and if he’s that confident, then he probably has a very solid standing. Kudos!

If Flynn has no information on others, he has no value to Mueller, and Mueller would just prosecute him for whatever crimes were discovered.

And from the looks of it, it probably as has been the case of the year with an overly extensive and detailed investigation with over 22 lawyers, some of the best on the planet can only find deep corruption concerning their business dealings.

Hmm, lying to the FBI about having contacts with Russians seems to be a common theme.

You do know collusion in itself is not a crime. Go figure.

Maybe Flynn was just a coffee boy too, and Trump didn't really know him.

What?

"What?" about the idea of Flynn becoming a coffee boy in White House historical revision.

That might have been a sly reference to George Rope-a-dope-olus, a junior member of Trump's team who everyone got amnesia about as soon as he entered a guilty plea. Should have tipped the coffee boy better.

It's the practice of deceit, to conduct business under the radar in order to deceive.

Interesting step forward from the mantra like "there was no collusion", mind.

Lol, indeedy.

There was no collusion and even if there were it isn’t a crime anyway and even if it were a crime Trump himself cannot be connected to a level where he would be responsible/accountable.

Better?

The funny thing is, your post is pretty much exactly what I would post if I were making fun of your team.

nothing funny about the truth. You still have nothing after 13 months of smoking guns, bombshells, and person X is gonna flip/be jailed.

seems Flynn realized P

resident Mr Trump cannot save him, may be he realized so late, that made him cooperate with Mueller's team, experience is the better teacher for men it confirms again; time and again experience is the super master on man is confirmed, men as mortals cannot supeseed on experience is further gets comnfirmed.

You've got no idea what the truth is unless you were part of the Trump team.

If collusion isn't a crime, why do Trump fans constantly try to undermine the investigation?

If that’s the case, then the Democratic Party is not only doomed, but D.O.A.

Really? The left needs to talk, they have their own investigation brewing and it seems like they’re resisting calls for a special counsel as well. Seems that coal is getting hotter day by day, why all the resentment? Oh, my.....

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

Summary of Trump supporters' arguments:

It's all fake news, a conspiracy by intelligence agencies and the media and libs, and anything that is found does not prove collusion, and anyway collusion is not wrong, and we had better investigate Hillary for collusion and lock her up on orders of the president.

(I know, but whaddabout libs' arguments?! LOL)

Flynn should be a good source of info, especially with things like who knew what, and when. It can go a long way in creating charges of lying to the FBI.

He can also give details about anything he heard regarding Comey before or after his resignation, and he should have info on the coordination between Trump Jr. and Wikileaks in distributing the information hacked by Russia.

If the reports are true about him and the Turkish cleric, then he's going to be doing a lot of singing. Should tighten the noose just a bit around Kurshner and Trump Jr.

Its bad enough to engage in revenge politics, but you're doing it wrong. We don't care about investigations into Democrats. If anyone is proven to have done anything wrong, then lock them up. We don't care who it is, and Hillary is an afterthought to us.

On top of that, we have faith in the legal system and won't resort to nutty conspiracy theories made up on the spot.

Flynn should be a good source of info, especially with things like who knew what, and when. It can go a long way in creating charges of lying to the FBI. 

From the way it looks, it’s probably more financial ties with the Russians and the Turks for some personal and yet unknown reason.

He can also give details about anything he heard regarding Comey before or after his resignation, and he should have info on the coordination between Trump Jr. and Wikileaks in distributing the information hacked by Russia.

Which could put Flynn himself in deep water or put Comey in deeper water than he already is.

If the reports are true about him and the Turkish cleric, then he's going to be doing a lot of singing. Should tighten the noose just a bit around Kurshner and Trump Jr.

You never know or it could come full circle between some shady business dealings between Kushner, DTJ, Manafort and the Podesta brothers, let’s see what happens.
