Two possibilities arise from the guilty plea of former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Flynn’s plea marks the beginning of the end of the Trump administration. Flynn’s plea marks the end of the desperate hope that America will be delivered from the Trump presidency by impeachment and removal from office on the grounds that his campaign colluded with Russia to win him the 2016 election. There are other ancillary events one can easily imagine. For example, Trump could fire independent counsel Robert Mueller and/or pardon Flynn and others. But those moves would eventually make the end of his administration far more likely, and so should be considered as part of Possibility #1.
He’s done for — or the impeachment dream is dead. That’s it.
If there was conspiratorial cooperation between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Flynn was at the center of it. That much is clear. And Mueller has Flynn on the hook. Analysts speculate that Flynn was allowed to plead down to a relatively minor charge in exchange for a promise of full cooperation. Should Mueller believe Flynn is failing to cooperate, he could make Flynn’s future unendurable (in part by going after Flynn’s son).
It’s therefore fair to assume Flynn will come clean about what he knows.
And that’s why this will lead either to Trump going down in flames or the impeachment-now movement getting its heart broken.
For my friends in the impeachment camp, I’d recommend preparing for heartbreak (and not just because you should never expect things to go the way you want; trust me, I wanted Rubio).

Loser...
I stopped paying any attention to the gasbag NeverTrumper John Podorhetz long ago.
He’s the kind of pompous dolt who “struts while sitting down.”
More wishful thinking by a NeverTrumper. How many times is he allowed to be wrong before the Post decides he isn’t worth a paycheck?

The Post, like all MSM outset’s, doesn’t give a crap about right or wrong, it only wants clicks. The more inflammatory the article for them, the better.
Delusional jerks. The MEDIA is lying! I’ll wait until I hear the truth from Trump on Twitter before I make further assessment.
What in the world is this nonsense?
For real. Is this guy actually paid by someone for this nonsense?
Trumps still got us....his base, his power. As long as we stick with him, hes not going anywhere.

Oh sorry about the double post.
Never really understood how those happened until just now.
It wouldn’t be illegal if Trump had a weekly meeting with the Russian ambassador to kick around how to best to defeat Hillary, but thanks for playing.
But on the other hand Hillary hiring a foreigner to perform work for her campaign was
Flynn got illegally unmasked. That is the only way they found out that he “lied.”
No kidding. So sick of this constant sh*t stirring and speculation based on flawed analysis of legal matters they can’t and don’t want to understand. The President-elect had every right to direct individuals on his transition team to make diplomatic contacts with foreign governments. That’s part of transitioning from the Imposter-In-Chief to a duly elected POTUS. Mueller has bupkis on Trump and everyone (including the Leftist Progressives) knows it. Mueller needs to be shut down no later than Dec. 31 and President Trump should hit the ground running doing the jobs we elected him to do on January 1. I think one good high-profile arrest and prosecution for sedition or treason would be helpful in giving the MSM and Trump-haters something else to focus on. There’s certainly several good candidates with ugly skeletons to go after out there - Hillary being my pick as traitor #1.
This thread is illuminating how many on this forum used to react in the Bush era when a paleo like Pat Buchanan took NeoCons to task

Well...it’s pretty easy now to look back ...and see who won that argument
Some of those folks so quick to scream bigot or racist at those who disagreed with them they themselves left over Schiavo or Giuliani or ultimately Trump
Bye
You are not missed and it’s a new era and my only regret is you forced out some decent folks before you ran off crying into the ether darkness to anti freep
A place where many of you can still be found
And we won this end of the political spectrum and you didn’t
Thank you Lord.
And where exactly is ‘COLLUSION’ in federal election code ??
I mean really, ‘COLLUSION’ ?
What’s next, coloring outside the lines?
This is one “john” that should be flushed from rational journalism.
The swushing sound you hear is that of his late father’s puking at his son’s imbecilic writings.
Precisely
Bingo! You get it!
