Good. Make them produce evidence. Don’t give them a “process crime.”

AP = All Propaganda

I don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

I'll believe it when I see it coming form a reasonably reliable source.

“Never forget that he is a DEMOCRAT.”

Yes, I think what Flynn did was intentional. Kiss Trump’s ass, get a slot in the Admin, then screw over the President. I just hope that the special prosecutor finds the link between Flynn and the DNC.

Who could blame him? The media elites, most of the Congress, and the deep state all want to crucify him. And if they cannot prove any actual illegality, they’ll make it up.

So did Lois Lerner but the Deomoncrats said that means she is innocent and just wants privacy.

For such a great story, a source is not needed. Start spreading the news!

Hillary never takes the 5th. That would be bad optics. Hillary's pat answer - "I can't recall".

I would bet General Flynn has lawyered up and this is the result. I do not blame him one bit.

Why should Flynn put himself in legal jeopardy by providing the Senate intel committee with information that could complicate his life with the Special Counsel?

Lois Lerner, Pagliano, and others claimed the 5th without suffering any consequences.

“payback for Obamas crew doing the same thing. I have no sympathy.”

The Bill of Rights has no provision for payback, your rights are exercised mutually exclusive of others.

Well, that is until someone rolls over on you and you little choice but to talk to save your own skin.
