On Friday, Michael Flynn plead guilty to lying to FBI agents about making contact with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the transition period.
CNBC reported:
Specifically, Flynn is accused of falsely claiming that he had not asked Russia’s ambassador to the United States last Dec. 29 “to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions that the United States had imposed against Russia that same day.”
Flynn also allegedly lied by telling the FBI “he did not recall the Russian Ambassador subsequently telling him that Russia had chosen to moderate its response to those sanctions as a result of his request,” the information says.
Moments ago, President Trump’s attorney, Ty Cobb issued the following statement:
“Today, Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor at the White House for 25 days during the Trump Administration, and a former Obama administration official, entered a guilty plea to a single count of making a false statement to the FBI.
“The false statements involved mirror the false statements to White House officials which resulted in his resignation in February of this year. Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn. The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.”
Might be what Pres. Trump was talking about when he said he thinks this will be wrapped up soon.

To hear the media today they have all but impeached Trump. Ross, the schmuck reporter at ABC, has been fantasizing all day with scenarios that have the entire Trump family behind bars. Can you imagine the Sunday talk shows this weekend?
Trump’s lawyer is Ty Cobb?
LOL! Hope he slides into Mueller with spikes held high.
This will not be “wrapped up” until Trump is thrown out of office, don’t kid yourself.
And yet, Hillary is still out writing books, making money
I made two bets today with liberals absolutely convinced Trump won’t last another year.
Delusional.
Fake news is all over this. It’ll melt away. Then they’ll move to Trump is crazy again.
I’ve never seen this much hostility toward one person from the MsM and Beltway. Worse than Nixon. The establishment is unhinged.
Flynn got fired for lying to Pence.
Apparently Flynn is indicted for those lies.
...during the transition period...
That’s it? That’s all they got?
How many millions of our tax dollars were used to come up with that?
“To hear the media today they have all but impeached Trump. Ross, the schmuck reporter at ABC, has been fantasizing all day with scenarios that have the entire Trump family behind bars. Can you imagine the Sunday talk shows this weekend?

Hysteria and wishful thinking. Just like some never Trumpers on this site who came out of their rat holes to jump on board the hysteria and nothing-burgers.
No kidding.
I told my wife on election night, that Pres. Trump will be hounded, sued, investigated, chastised every second of every minute of every day until the end of his term.
At least for awhile, she looks at me like I’m a mystic.
No... I can't. I don't watch that shit.
Obama will land in the big house before that happens.
Hillary has to hustle since her main cash cow just died with her failure to defeat DJT for the power to sell favors for Clinton Foundation Donations.
This from a woman who is definitely not sitting on a gold mine but a toxic waste dump.

I have a friend that is a public employee, before the election I had him endorsing almost every political position of the National Socialist Workers Party. He was always referring to Trump or anyone that was conservative in the least bit as Nazi’s.
He pretty much quit talking about politics entirely after I forced him to look up who the National Socialist Workers Party was, He saw himself in the mirror.
He lied to the police.
Who knew that was a crime?
Honest officer, I was doing the speed limit and I only had one beer and she told me she was 18 and that’s not my weed.
Did you also foretell Trump’s amazing accomplishments?
That is not the end. It is not the beginning of the end. It would be the end of the beginning of something that those folks don't even want to contemplate beginning.
