For you youngn's, back in the 80's Wendy's ran a commercial featuring Clara Peller which, based on Wendy's featuring fresh meat, asked "where's the beef?"

So here's the question: Where's the collusion?
In doing so, Flynn became the first senior White House official to agree to cooperate with the special counsel’s investigation into Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.Straining mightily to add gravitas, ABC News blared:A two-page charging document filed Thursday lists two false statements Flynn made about his interactions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in late December 2016.
It says Flynn falsely claimed that he had not asked Kislyak on Dec. 29 "to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions that the U.S. had imposed against Russia," and that he didn't recall Kislyak telling him Russia had decided to moderate its response as a result of his request.
Prior to the Dec. 29 call with Kislyak, Flynn called a senior official with the presidential transition team who was with other senior members of the team at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to discuss what to say to the Russian ambassador regarding sanctions, according to the statement of offense. After the call with Kislyak, Flynn spoke with the unidentified member of the transition about the call, including discussion of sanctions.
Court documents also say Flynn falsely claimed that he didn't ask Kislyak on Dec. 22 to "delay a vote on or defeat" a U.N. Security Council resolution, and then falsely denied that Kislyak had described Russia's response to the request. Before that call, a "very senior member" of the transition team directed Flynn to contact foreign officials, including those from Russia, to learn where they stood and influence the vote, according to the statement of offense.
The "very senior member" was Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior White House adviser, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Flynn prepared to testify that Trump directed him to contact Russians about ISIS, confidant saysThe Trump transition team contacted the Russians after the election. This is entirely normal and completely legal. Not satisfied with that, ABC decided it would run a false story in order to strike out at Trump:
ABC News is making a significant correction to a report it did on former national security adviser Michael Flynn that sent shockwaves across social media and financial markets on Friday.It caused economic damage:Brian Ross, a veteran journalist at ABC News, reported earlier in the day that a source close to Flynn said that the retired lieutenant general was prepared to testify that during the campaign Donald Trump instructed him to make contact with Russian government officials.
The report came out after Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts during the presidential transition period with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Special Counsel Robert Mueller found that Flynn lied to the FBI during a Jan. 24 interview on the topic.
The stock market plummeted more than 350 points after the ABC News report, seemingly because it undercut Trump’s longstanding claim that he did not order anyone to contact the Russians prior to the election.And it was dead wrong:
Ross issued a “clarification” to his report on ABC “World Tonight,” hours after the initial bombshell allegation about pre-election Russia contacts was made on air.Watch Ross eat it:“A clarification tonight on something one of Flynn’s confidants told us and we reported earlier today,” Ross told ABC “World Tonight” host David Muir.
“He said the president had asked Flynn to contact Russia during the campaign. He’s now clarifying that, saying, according to Flynn, candidate Trump asked him during the campaign to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other world hot spots. And then after the election, the president-elect asked him to contact Russia on issues including working together to fight ISIS.”

Guess that deflating is adding to global warming.
But we have the BOMBSHELL, the Smoking Gun !, fresh prints on the murder weapon! And the Judge is strongly urging him to cooperate with the prosecutor so we can cut you a sweetheart deal, and............YESTERDAY was SO BORING !!
Mike Flynn is an admitted liar. Why believe ANYTHING he says now?
bttt
Doesn’t matter as the main goal is to maintain the false accusations in order to render Sessions powerless.
And at the same time troll for anything that is even loosely connected to Trump.
When a fact doesn't fit the narrative, there are only two choices. You can adjust the narrative or change the "fact."
When the world knows you are already a conduit for bogus stories, it's so much better to simply make up facts.
LOL!

THERE IS NO LAW FORBIDDING A PRESIDENT ELECT FROM MEETING WITH RUSSIANS, CHINESE, VIET NAMESE, AUSTRIALIANS, ETC, ETC. THEY ALL DO IT TO BETTER INFORM THEMSELVES. So President Trump is the only one with a special prosecutor digging around in his old business records trying to find dirt to impeach him on the basis of the lie that he should not have met with Russians???
Where is the Special Prosecutor for Hillary Clinton and her bribes while Sec. of State? Where is the murderer of Seth Rich? Why was Obama’s team of idiot girls unmasking all the people who called Donald Trump at Trump Tower and the White House as he took office? That’s the investigation that should be going on.
This AH still has a job?
How does Mueller "know" Flynn asked Kislyak anything?
How does Mueller "know" Flynn doesn't recall something?
Is this a case of someone not corroborating Flynn's story? Who has proof?
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Mueller probably has evidence of Flynn discussing his conversations with the Russians AFTER he told the FBI he didn’t recall any such conversations.
Brian Ross produced journalstic flatulence. Note here that this particular brain fart affected the stock market, and the mini-crash was not as the result of any Trump tweet...
I understand that they have transcripts of the conversations, obtained through FISA warrants.
One thong troubles me about this whole affair. What Flynn did was posted fly legal, almost routine. Why lie about it in the first place?
