A sentencing memo that Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed in U.S. District Court in Washington Tuesday recommending little or no prison time for President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn doesn’t implicate the president in any wrongdoing.
The memo isn’t a “smoking gun” showing President Trump colluded with Russians to win the 2016 presidential election or did anything else illegal. In fact, the memo isn’t even a squirt gun. In terms of President Trump’s conduct, it amounts to nothing of any significance.
In recommending that Flynn – who served as President Trump’s national security adviser for just 24 days – get a sentence ranging from no prison time to six months at most, the memo filed by Mueller said Flynn has offered "substantial" help to investigators about "several ongoing investigations."

Somehow Flynn was a big fan of Turkey. Not a good position to hold.
this won’t stop the MSM from making it to a Biden like BFD
A big nothing that is done every single day by all the people in, The Club. The Club that the Podesta’s are members of, Manafort was a member of until he worked for DJT.
I’m not down with all the ‘QAnon’ stuff, but if even half of it is true and President Trump has been setting these people up this whole time, it’s now time for the hammers to start falling. This shit is getting ridiculous.
Kid’s can’t pick gender specific toys in a Kids Meal anymore because a handful of SJWs complained to McDonalds.
Baby It’s Cold Outside pushes date rape because some radical feminist SJW says so, so now radio stations won’t play it.
I think it’s long past ridiculous and getting to the boiling point. Biggest obstacle, law abiding and God fearing folks aren’t willing to throw everything away like the neanderthal fascists of ANTIFA, BLM, OWS, etc are willing to do. However, if/when it gets to that point, there are going to be some very sorry motherfu*kers that wish they didn’t put on a black hoodie and bandana.
Hannity and Laura Ingraham had some great stuff on the latest Mueller stunt today.
it is beyond a disgrace what Mueller has done to Flynn, Manafort, Papadopolous, or what he would like to do to Jerome Corsi and Roger Stone.
his entire purpose is to scare off anyone who is not SELECTED by the Deep State from running for the presidency in the future...or even support someone who does:

Behind the scenes truth is that Ferris Mueller has been crushed like a insect. Details will come out later.
Amen! Mueller’s jolly is to see Anyone and Everyone around Trump BANKRUPTED, RUINED Reputations in order for NO ONE ELSE to pop their heads up or help Trump in any way!
The heavily redacted report fed to the propaganda media arm gives the impression that there is something there and there isn’t. Despicable deceitful politicians and their criminal cohorts need to be indicted and prosecuted to save our republic
bkmk
ROTFLOL
========================================
REALITY CHECK Mueller was obviously tasked to conduct political oppo-research against Trump. The Democrat evil-doers hope to get
enough dirt to use against Trump in 2020. Mueller is a tax-paid terror, ruining people, simply because they support Trump.
Moreover, Mueller is a willing tool of the Democrats. After Hillary lost, the impotent Democrats were cutoff from power.....
that drove them nuts....they were at their wit's end. So they connived to get Mueller to do the heavy lifting for them....
with our tax dollars.
Conniving Democrats' scheming never ceases ---they inveigled a public prosecutor to work for their political goals.
===============================
As FReeper KNARF insightfully posted:
I haven't seen "the Democrat party" as a political arm in a long time. All we've been subjected to is gauntlet
after gauntlet thrown down.......they're an aggressive army challenging a peaceful nation....a nation they despise.
Democrats abandoned their role in the two-party system of checks and balances.
Democrats have morphed into an invading army......trailed by a bunch of camp followers.
Who was head of the fbi when hildabutchbitch and her little bent dicked partner, were stealing tons of cash via the uranium one scam?
Mulehead not only knew about the corruption, he covered it up and dipped his beak into the trough.
The creepy Democrats, Mueller, and the Deep State are running an opposition research operation against Pres Trump.
We, the people, have been misled for too long.
Robert Mueller has nothing because there is nothing:
<><> Where is the evidence that Trump colluded with Russians to sabotage Hillary’s campaign?
<><> Where is the evidence of vote-tampering?
<><> Where and when were the meetings held to plot strategy?
<><> Just what is the strategy?
Mueller and company are misusing govt positions in various ways. We, the people have a strong case.

There will be surprises as Mueller releases the results of his investigations.
Mueller is afraid to imprison Flynn because he is worried about being called before the bar of justice to be held accountable, and jailing Flynn for doing something that pales into insignificance compared to what he himself has done would not sit well at all.
Robert “Nifong” Mueller will be spending a lot of time in court at the defense table, and in the hot seat at Senate committee hearings.
If people like mueller received 1/10th of “justice” theydish out..they would probably kill themselves.
Or, at least I am hoping so.
BTW ..I think seizing their assets and taking away their rank ..so to speak.. is worse punishment than a couple years of prison.
Although that would to nice,too.
I have believed all along that Flynn was being punished for something regarding Gullen — lying about his phone call with the Russian ambassador was just a cover story. Mueller’s sentencing filing makes it clear enough.
I don’t trust the OSC, but they now state that Erdogan paid Flynn pre-election as a consultant to help get Gullen out of the US. As NS Advisor, Flynn was set to deliver, and did not disclose that he was a paid agent of a foreign power. If so, this explains why Pence fired him.
Mr Trump can wait. 2 hours before Muller releases his final report he can declassify and dump all pertinent docs relating to the Russia probe out into the sunlight.
