..and everything about how expensive defense attorneys are.

[umgud]

His name isn’t Flynn, it is Target. I’d claim the 5th too.

[colorado tanker]

With all the accusations being tossed around in Washington and a special counsel on the loose, even a lawyer with a mail order degree would tell him to take the Fifth.

[NorthMountain]

Hurrah for the Fifth Amendment. Never talk to the police.

[editor-surveyor]

.
In today’s insane climate, he can do nothing else.

Flynn was the right man for the job, and that is the reason for the intensity of the attack.

[editor-surveyor]

.
They would be foolish to charge Flynn with anything.

[Logical me]

Communists democrats are looking for any error Flynn might be mistaking said and charge him. Will have nothing to do with his conduct with Russia. The safe way is just plead the fifth and eliminate possible mistakes.

[MtnClimber]

He could just be avoiding the Scooter Libby treatment.

[\/\/ayne]

The Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd is looking for a scapegoat; good thing Flynn is too smart for them.

[LibFreeUSA]

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Lois Lerner?....(lol)

[henkster]

Federal investigations are extremely perilous even for those targets innocent of the crimes being investigated. In fact, it’s common for investigators to indict or convict the targets of their investigations for misconduct during the investigation, rather than for the alleged crimes that sparked their inquiries to begin with.

If you lie to the government, you go to prison. But the government lies to you every day.

See how this works?

[LibFreeUSA]

"If you lie to the government, you go to prison."

You did realize that there's an exemption for "Democrats", right?

[henkster]

Well normally democrats are the government, so they get the automatic exemption.

[Chgogal]

OK Dems, Flynn is as guilty as Louis Learner, Hillary email witnesses, etc., etc.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Of course, he’s guilty. The 5th is all about not being forced to provide incriminating evidence against yourself.

...or innocence. He should take the fifth. Why should he help the assholes who are trying to destroy him? Pissonthem.

[HarleyLady27]

All of this with Flynn goes back on the bami administration...this has nothing to do with the Trump Administration...he didn't tell Pence the truth or didn't tell him anything and President Trump got rid of him...end of story...

President Trump got rid of James Comey, end of story...you don't make your boss look bad, I don't care what job your in, you do that in any way and your out...

I don't know if he is guilty or not, he's gone, done, finished...the media has to have a talking point and that is all it is...

[Seruzawa]

You especially don’t talk to the cops if you are innocent.
