That motherfucker committed treason, and his screams to "Lock her up" when HE knew he was guilty himself. . . . It takes a "special" person to be able to do that. I frankly don't think ANY $money should be spent on that motherfucker's retirement, healthcare or anything else, and he SHOULD spend some long quality time in prison.

He deserves a dishonorable discharge AFTER serving time in the brig as a private. . .

Which means he gave up EVERYTHING.

'Robert Mueller has one hobby, and that's putting people in prison who deserve to be there.'--Malcome Nance

You think Mueller would reccomend this treason weasel walk on anything LESS than the Keys to the Kingdom?
I don't
I also don't disagree with your sentiment, but Mueller was the one who cut a deal with Samny the Bull in order to take down Jon goddamn Gotti.

Flynn can have time served, if it lands Trump in prison.

Is it possible for him to have received immunity from Mueller, and still charged by the JAG?
Does double jeopardy not apply in circumstances like this?

I appreciate Mueller more than I can say. . . But that doesn't change the fact that I LOATHE Michael Flynn and would like to see him in prison.

HOWEVER. . . . Whom do I loathe more-- Flynn or Pussy Grabber? I would MUCH prefer to see Pussy Grabber in the 'Hot Seat'!

The man was a 3 star general, for god's sake! Of all the people in the world, he knew perfectly well that what he was doing was wrong. But his hatred of Obama and his not inconsiderable greed and lust for money was what drove him to make such egregious decisions.

He should certainly bet busted to private. But I guess that's up to a military court. He's a Benedict Arnold.

Context: trump has a substantial base locked in [at least 20%], with nationally linked paramilitary support, and with that substantial political support, some whom have been richly rewarded already - and compromised; trump has substantial judicial support; trump has paid the rich very well already, with much more to come, for their continued support; trump has substantial international allies, in the Middle East, Putin,. the one area trump needs for his 'ends' is the military for whom he has started to 'some' degree

Flynn, about whom trump has been mysteriously silent [noted Rachel], may have offered Mueller something surprisingly big [bigger than the great deal Sammy the Bull got] to justify his great deal from Mueller . . . . . high level military 'treason' ?

[I have suggested here, just the 'possiblity' of a trump, martial law? contrivance December surprise, to activate the above]

Yertie knows whats going on I agree. Not sure Yertie is either. Suggest, 'round up the usual suspects', and some more, - soon enough to foil the worst possibilities.

I think Mueller may have another list of things with which he can charge Flynn. As I understand it, this latest memo only covers a fraction of his crimes.

and former head of defense intelligence agency. He may have offered up incredible information about the entire cabal. As much as I loathe Flynn, I want the entire international crime cabal to go down. We'll see what Mueller can prove.
