Michael Flynn, the former Trump national security adviser who was dismissed earlier this year, was charged with making false statements to the FBI Friday, becoming the latest associate of the president's to face charges related to the special counsel probe.

Hooray!

Mueller manufactured a process crime ala Scooter Libby!

[Paladin2]

Never talk to the cops. They can legally lie to you, but not you to them, no matter how trivial the item.

[Uncle Miltie]

Or Martha Stewart?

[Alter Kaker]

He apparently pleaded guilty.

[TigerClaws]

What if he just said nothing?

Why do they talk?

[Reno89519]

So, as usual, charged with lying. Not surprising in Flynn’s case since he was fired for same. Maybe Mueller can wrap up his investigation by end of year?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He apparently pleaded guilty.

Bloomberg had that but can't post Bloomberg so I posted a related article.

Is that all you got Mueller? We already knew this. How much money did that one cost us, Clouseau?

[jospehm20]

I guess this means that Mueller has nothing.

[blackdog]

I thought Trump fired Flynn for the same thing? Like seven months ago?

[Hyman Roth]

He pleaded guilty.

Anytime law enforcement asks you a question, the response is the same: “I am anxious to help you with your inquiry but I cannot answer any or your questions until I have an opportunity to talk to my lawyer.”

[DrDude]

These people talk because the Swamp has it set up that way. Look at Trump’s Russian BS Situation. Everyone is required to turn over all papers, testify before any & all committees, etc... Obama’s people refused to give any information. They hid emails. They hid records. They refused to talk or testify. Claimed Executive Privledge.

Until we gut the Swamp. We have no rights. Not even POTUS.

[HotHunt]

I think he's caving because one, he got caught lying.

And two, his son is in bigger legal jeopardy that Gen. Flynn himself.

He may be trying to get Mueller to go easier on his son.

[Leaning Right]

> What if he just said nothing? <

Then the press smears you for being uncooperative. And you’ll be accused of hiding something. Better to use Hillary’s old stand-by: “I don’t recall”.

[daler]

I’ll bet HRC is breathing a sigh of relief, knowing she’s never told a lie to anyone.

[AppyPappy]

A politician charged with lying. Imagine that.

[Maris Crane]

Talk about miscarriage of justice! And in two instances, San Francisco and, of course, Washington DC.
Unbelievable..

[jjotto]

The plea hearing has not been held yet.

[neverevergiveup]

There is no fairness or justice in this nation currently. The Kate Steinle verdict, and now this - among so many other things. Hillary lied over, and over, and over, and over again, but was never put under oath by the FBI - and was left to skate. Flynn probably committed either an error in judgment or an error in assessment regarding what he thought was pertinent in his testimony, and they go after him. We, as a nation, in the past several days, have allowed a 6x illegal immigrant to get away with shooting and killing a young woman in front of her father, and let a terrorist involved in the Benghazi murders essentially skate, but nonetheless pinned charges on Flynn.

Unless the ‘swamp’ is not only drained - but torched afterward, we have no legitimate path forward as a nation. The biggest pieces of scum are smugly entrenched, and they are the ones pointing fingers at everyone else.
