All not-so-Beitbart seems to care about is taking down Jared. Fools.

In looking at it, what doesn’t make sense is what Flynn admitted he lied about. There really was no reason for lying.
Something else is afoot.

If Obama approved Flynn, then everybody on the Flynn branch is off the hook.
Why would the WH say it if they couldn’t back it up ?

I’m runnin out of popcorn.

This is a conspiracy between the liberals and Deep State establishment to try to take down Trump.

That's axiomatic! I realized this, albeit in inchoate form, the day Trump was elected. That is, that it was never going to end.

Clearly, Flynn was too arrogant for his own good.

Talking to the FBI about anything without a lawyer is the most baffling to me.

Flynn understood the political harm of admitting to contact with the Russians, something his boss, Trump, openly stated did not happen.

So he was covering for Trump and now is a convicted felon and facing 5 years. You can bet he will toss as much dirt as he can.

I was in an argument with a liberal about “but Comey’s a Republican, there are other Republicans involved, you can’t say it is a Democrat conspiracy”.
Yes, it is a conspiracy, and the establishment never-Trumpers haven’t stopped working with Democrats to take him down, though they claim to be conservatives, because he is against the entrenched bureaucracy that provides many of them with jobs and power.

The mission was accomplished.

What was the mission?

All this Logan Act talk is a waste of time, it doesn’t matter anymore who, if anyone, authorized Flynn to negotiate with the Russians. All that contact would be perfectly legal if he’d waited until Trump was sworn in.

It was legal after the EC certified Trumps victory.

When did Trump say that?

Really, you want me to click the Slimes? How about the relevant excerpt.

[gandalftb]

How about googling the subject yourself, educate yourself and stop asking others to do your research for you?

[MileHi]

I didn’t ask you for anything except to support your assertion that I don’t believe, if you can’t/wont I don’t care. But don’t post a worthless link.

[gandalftb]

Anytime you see anything on FR that you don’t trust, educate yourself, find sources that support your position, post them.

Don’t ask others to make you feel better. There are way too many posters on FR that drive-by and challenge sources because they are too lazy to find their own.

The NY Times was only one of many that reported the same information. Sure, the Times is often tainted, but it is not worthless.
