“Comey and his FBI associates need five years in prison for what they did to General Flynn.”
No, a long drop at the end of a short rope is cheaper for us taxpayers.
BOTH!
That’s a good one. So sad, but true.
Why aren’t all people found guilty in court charged with, and tried for, perjury for having plead not guilty in the beginning?
Because courts do NOT construe a plea as a statement about the facts of a case. A plea can easily be, as in the Flynn case, a deliberate misunderstanding of the charges.
In legal circles this is a giant DUH.
When the boog goes down, don’t forget to liquidate the Times. They are an enemy of the people.
Nobody who is innocent and then plead guilty after being threatened with ruin or worse has ever gone to jail before... Ever!
This sorry piece of crap rag and sorry excuse for a newspaper has pleaded the innocence of many very guilty people in the past... They are pathetic and beyond reproach and nobody would sensibly ever accept that the editorial board of the NY Times is anything more than an opinionated propaganda mouthpiece for the socialist left and the Democrat party.
Such effin hypocrites!
So according to them the DOJ always tells the truth as do their employees?
“Ask the five innocent black men that were coerced into guilty pleas in the Central Park jogger case how the system works.”
Dave, you swallowed lefty propaganda hook, line and sinker on that one.
In his blatantly biased documentary “Central Park Five,” Ken Burns acts as an apologist and promoter for those convicted of the gang rape and beating in the head with a brick of a woman jogger in Central Park, presenting them as “civil rights” heroes. The attack on Trisha Meili left her in a coma for 12 days with loss of 80 per cent of her blood from deep stab wounds. Her skull had been fractured so badly that her left eye hung out of its socket. She was given last rites.
When she didn’t die, the five were sentenced, imprisoned and then eventually released. When Matias Reyes, a serial rapist and killer already serving a life term (Reyes had absolutely nothing to lose by confessing to the rape), suddenly “confessed” to being the jogger’s lone assailant, two doctors who helped save the jogger’s life said her wounds were not consistent with his account of the attack, while one state investigator commented, “The word of a serial rapist killer is not something to be heavily relied upon.”
But Democrat District Attorney Robert Morgenthau quickly went into action, blocking police from questioning Reyes or giving him a polygraph and ordering other inmates not to talk to any police investigators about their conversations with Reyes.
Despite strong objections from the original prosecutor, based on the doubtful new confession, Morgenthau had the New York Supreme Court vacate the convictions of “the Central Park Five,” even though in a legal oddity they never recanted their original confessions, nor did they present additional evidence contradicting the evidence that had gotten them convicted. The New York Times states that the five were “exonerated,” a false statement since they would have to stand trial and be declared not guilty in order to be exonerated. Instead their sentences were simply vacated.
In his heavily slanted “documentary,” Burns never used hours of interviews he filmed with state investigators and others who pointed to extensive evidence that the group was guilty. Burns said his purpose in making the video was to get the five men a financial settlement. According to New York writer Nicholas Stix, Burns “simply airbrushed every fact that incriminates the defendants out of the movie.”
Later, working in tandem with Burns’ campaign for the five, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio handed “the Central Park Five” over $40 million for “wrongful imprisonment.” At the time, businessman Donald Trump bought newspaper ads calling the settlement a “disgrace.” Today Burns’ heavily biased documentary is shown extensively in U.S. public schools, promoting “white guilt” in impressionable students, with PBS promoting it as “a revealing portrait of one of our nation’s most egregious miscarriages of justice.”
Ignoring the legal oddity that the assailants were never proved innocent, Ken Burns tweeted: “Apparently Mr. Trump is unfamiliar with the concept of wrongful conviction.”
“They should be very thankful I wasn’t mayor because they wouldn’t have gotten a dime,” Trump said.
Meanwhile Trisha Meili lives today, making occasional speeches on coping with head trauma.

The left is circling the wagons.
Even in the 1930s the New York Times was a communist rag. They are hanging onto these false narrTives for dear life.
Scumbag joke of a cage liner.
“I wonder what the Slimes had to say about Robert Mueller’s and the FBI’s cozy relationship with Whitey Bulger?”
That’s the reason why Whitey was killed.
So did Susan Rice.
Indeed the fact are in.
This is amazing. The whole piece is a concocted lie.
Don’t forget: the New York Times is journalistic trash.
“Certain long-standing values” =. Communist control of the world.
I can't believe the NYT printed this. What the hell do they think was happening under the Obama administration ?
=================================
Hillary was never supposed to lose. The whole CIA/FBI spygate was designed and put in motion to charge Trump with crimes .......after she won. Hillary and the team were going to destroy Donald Trump after she took office. When she lost,they had no choice but to keep the game going. Sessions bailed and Mueller’s team was to finish the job.(h/t blackberry1)
UNDER EXTREME DURESS!
