Hopefully President Trump will pardon General Flynn and give him a prominent role in his administration. Flynn is a based patriot.

Hopefully President Trump will pardon General Flynn and give him a prominent role in his administration. Flynn is a based patriot.

Trump hasn't shown willingness to pardon anyone yet - perhaps he knows how bad it would reflect on him. But yes, I can imagine how over liar would be attracted to another.

Trump has denied knowing anything about contact with Russians and his campaign and has called Mueller's probe a witch hunt.

Ha ha ha

Russia has denied U.S. allegations that it interfered in the campaign.

Ho ho ho

U.S. President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn,

George Smily would have outed him as a mole.

Flynn pleaded guilty to lying about his contacts with Russia

Another liar in an administration led by a POLITICIAN who’s the biggest liar seen in modern US history, a POLITICIAN who’s appointed more liars to his administration than any modern president.

Russia has denied U.S. allegations that it interfered in the campaign.

Only GoTrumpers (in the US and ‘abroad) believe this. Waiting for ‘US is worse’ (an admission what Russia did was wrong) and ‘Can’t prove it!’.

@cla68today Flynn is a based patriot.

Flynn’s a prototypical Trump appointee, concerned about his bank account above all else. Perhaps a patriot for the new Russian empire, backed of course by US money.

Lock him up! With all the other traitors in Trump’s camp. And family.

G. I. Joe Flynn is a disgrace and a traitor the United States of America and should be consigned for life at Ft. Leavenworth, KS.

If you caught his "Lounge Act" at the Republican National Convention, you'd know this guy is a ranting, raving lunatic. As a retired General Officer, he brought disgrace to the uniform by outright lying under oath to the FBI.  In this case, his unhinged chants of "Lock her Up", the irony is so sweet...

end of November? Plenty of time for the FISA abuses to be released by both the unredacted documents and the IG report.

Wonder if screwing over General Flynn is a topic in the unredaxted texts of Comey, McCabe, Strzok and Page? We will be seeing those soon.

It's time to start draining this corrupt swamp full of foul critters created by president Donald J. Trump.

Another news report from Orangelandia...

Wonder who is screwing over General Flynn?  Easy answer - have him look in the mirror. He ADMITTED to lying to the FBI under oath about his Russian contacts and also lied to VP Pence to top it off. 

He's a self-confessed convicted felon - and is now just waiting to find out how much time he'll be "locked up." 

The way Mueller is putting away Trump's team, the government will need to build a new prison - as I've mentioned before, I suggest it be located in Orange California...

So it's patriotic to lie to the people, is it?

Trump has denied knowing anything about contact with Russians and his campaign and has called Mueller's probe a witch hunt.

Keep digging that hole, chum.

He didn’t lie. He just “lacked candor” because he was busy at work. or whatever it is that McCabe, Comey and those guys are saying now.

So based on PapaD getting 2 weeks, what does Flynn get? A 3 day weekend? By the time his sentencing comes around doubt he gets anything, probably be dropped all together.

What does "based" mean?

Good luck with that legal advice when you're brought in, read your rights under oath and agree to "tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth".... In fact, please give that advice to all the other Trump officials that will be brought in - so we can trot them off to jail too...

He got 2 weeks because he fully cooperated and offered hard evidence of crimes by other Trump officials.  Maybe Flynn ratted out Trump and others also - remember, "there's no honor among thieves"...

PapaD didn’t cooperate at all. Prosecutors said so.

PapaD didn’t cooperate at all. Prosecutors said so.

"Papadopoulos faces up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $9,500, but prosecutors said in the plea agreement that Papadopoulos was cooperating in the investigation, which could lessen his sentence."

Will he go to an overcrowded prison rife with gang violence, rape and drugs?

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

Yeah the prosecutors were lying.....so that liberal media could speculate that if he got little to no jail time it was because he had cooperated.

“Prosecutors had asked Judge Randolph Moss in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to impose a prison sentence of up to six months, saying that Papadopoulos' lies impeded their investigation and that he did not cooperate.

"He didn't come close to the standard of 'substantial assistance,'" prosecutor Andrew Goldstein told the judge at the sentencing hearing. "It was at best, begrudging efforts to cooperate."

Sorry, I missed the speaking notes. What is this outrage you are manufacturing this time? I'm not getting it from your post, there is nothing to tie together what exactly you're supposedly angry about.

Same with your follow up post for that matter.

Someone above claiming PapaD got a short sentence because he cooperated. Even though he didn’t. He got a short sentence because most people don’t even go to jail at all for what he did.

I expect to hear more of the same when Flynn gets 3 days in jail just so that Mueller can claim a “conviction”.

You tell me whether this is cooperating or not...

"That plea deal shocked the political world. In it, the ex-Trump adviser admitted that nearly two months before news broke that leading Democrats’ emails had been hacked, he was tipped off that the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.” After that, he talked extensively to three foreign contacts (two of whom were Russian) to try and set up a meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin, and kept several top Trump campaign aides in the loop on his efforts.

It was not clear whether Papadopoulos told other Trump aides about that email tip. But this connection arguably was (and remains) the closest Mueller has come to establishing collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia involving the illegally hacked emails."

Looking forward to seeing him in the official White House uniform - an Orange Jumpsuit...

I don't care what he gets. The importantthing is that he is a convict and will go to his grave as having lied under oath in relation to trying to fix an election with help from a foreign power.

I think the president would and I don’t think he cares what other people think, I think that’s been obvious now or the past 18 months

That won’t happen to the President and the Senate won’t convict him either, so we can all sleep soundly on that.

Oh he clearly cares what Putin thinks!

Mueller really, really, r.e.a.l.l.y doesn't want to sentence Lt. Gen. Flynn.

The Flynn case is an albatross around his neck that he can’t shed. To proceed with a sentencing is to open himself and his legal team up to suborning perjury, malicious prosecution, and conspiracy for the same, which would not only mean all would lose their law licenses but also open the entire lot to civil litigation that would result in mass bankruptcies.

It's hard to keep track of all of Trump's people going to jail.

Oh don't tell me you are falling for this again. Another soon to be released report which will prove your unsubstantiated speculation correct?

If you say so.

Dunno, this this is different, these are the files that the left have tried so hard to hide as well as Sessions it all or at least most of it goes public and this time everyone seems to be worried by this one because it exposes everything from the names not redacted to the methods of how a lot of this is done. Even the good judge Napolitano seemed concerned about this as to the ramifications it could pose to people in the field. Good.

Trump could have declassified them at any time. It sounds like you are making up a scenario where the left was blocking Trump and he finally won the battle and can finally release the info?

Was it a good battle?

and this time everyone seems to be worried by this one because it exposes everything

21 pages out of 412 isn't exposing everything. Its selective disclosure by the accused. And Nunes was already proven a liar when he claimed the FISA warrant didn't mention Democrats and Steele, and he's in charge again?
