Don't smarmily ask for others to do your work for you -- dig the answers out for your lazy self!
What was quite refreshing in reading the transcripts were that General Flynn was talking without the use of a script.
Not many politicians seem to have that ability.
no, the PRIOR issue is what business it was of the FBI toinvestigate_set up for firing_ a man whose services the president thought he needed.Comey et. al. weren’t trying to enforce the law, they were trying to subvert the POTUS. And Comey is on videotape bragging about it. To an audience which laughed about it.
Nobody made Flynn lie to Pence. In doing so, it was FLYNN and Flynn alone who gave the Deep State Slime reasonable grounds for questioning Flynn.
And even though the case against Flynn was extremely weak, Flynn pleaded guilty. A weak case is a weak case, but it IS a case. And it was Flynn’s words to the FBI which gave the Deep State Slime the basis for bringing the charges. Barr agreed that there WAS a case that Flynn lied to the FBI, Barr just said the lies were not material.
The motivation of the Deep State Slime does not change those facts.
We have quite different standards in assessing things.
Personally, I do not want anyone near the Trump campaign if he is receiving foreign money to be an agent in America, regardless of how big or small that representation is, and regardless of how many other people do it.
Also, I do not assess things on how the media handles it, I assess things based on the facts.
Its a rhetorical question, fool. Many people throw around the excuse that Flynn rolled-over supposedly because of FBI pressure put on his son, but NO ONE has bothered to explain how/why.
This lobbying is huge, includes ex senators, generals, mayors, governors, congressmen, etc. it doesn’t automatically make them a traitor. Get real. Is Giuliani a traitor? It is an entire industry, and legal under the Constitution. Both Trump and Pence said they would take Flynn back in a second, so it is not bothering them.

Yes, my point exactly.
But the overwhelming number of Americans are perfectly happy or perfectly indifferent to the situation, until it happens to them and they see for themselves how arbitrary and unfair the system can be.
As I have said all along, what happened to Flynn in principle is no different than what happens to average Americans everyday. Flynn is not special other than he has become a stand-in for larger, justified disgust at the Deep State.
No one cares about fellow Americans who are overcharged or set up. To the contrary, many, many Americans are cheer-leading and throwing stones when it happens to others in our over-lawed country.

Apparently you are not familiar with out of control prosecutors draining the life savings of a wrongly accused court victim. And threatening to go after his son/family on foreign consulting charges? Do you have any idea of how much that costs? Prosecutors make threats and deals all the time, and deferred prosecutions (i.e., plead guilty, and after time and maybe a fine, the charge will be withdrawn/erased).
Guess what!? Mueller, the FBI and the deep-state did same thing to him regardless. He’d be bankrupt either way, but at least if he didn’t roll-over on a crime he didn’t commit, he would still have his honor.
I would be careful about defaming a career soldier. He still has his honor.

His uniform is not a kryptonite shield, nor the Pope’s robes, so don’t avoid a discussion with such an argument.
I’ve got nothing against Flynn. I agree he was railroaded. I just want to know why someone who was a DC insider for many years himself, worked in intelligence at the highest levels (so certainly had knowledge of their devious ways) and had made enemies in the Obama administration - rolled over on a crime he didn’t commit.
You aren’t curious at all, eh?
