I don't care if his reputation is in tatters...I don't care if his legal bills are astronomical...I care that he's a damn traitor and a trump ass kissing sycophant...we, the people he betrayed need him to go to prison and not skate bc he fessed up to being a liar.. and btw my 10 year old grandson knows lying is a big no-no and lying to the FBI is crime...

but, Malcolm Nance has been way ahead of the mainstream on Trump/Russia. Yesterday, Nance said that if you look at the charges that Flynn's associates were hit with yesterday, Flynn must have given up some really juicy ("gold plated" was his wording) info to Mueller in order to get off so lightly.

Or is that one still developing.

I'm having a hard time keeping up, so I'm just asking.
Thanks

He deserves the bitter irony after the "Lock Her Up" chants.

A Back-Channel Plan for Ukraine and Russia, Courtesy of Trump Associates

A week before Michael T. Flynn resigned as national security adviser, a sealed proposal was hand-delivered to his office, outlining a way for President Trump to lift sanctions against Russia.

I really think he must have given up a lot. I also wonder if there won't be a request to have him extradited to face charges elsewhere in the near future. Not that we would give him up.

Hello on this brisk Tuesday morning from the federal courthouse in DC, where former national security advisor Michael Flynn is due for sentencing at 11 a.m. He's asking for no prison time. The special counsel's office says they're okay with that. Will the judge agree?

The timestamps on the originals are 7:07 a.m. and 7:28 a.m. That's Pacific Standard Time.

Michael Flynn is in the courthouse, he just walked by where we're waiting to go into the courtroom, flanked by his family and lawyers. Didn't stop or say anything, just hustled past to another part of the floor (the courtroom isn't open yet)



The president has his eye on court today

I don’t care who he ratted on in order to save his own skin. Lock him up.

Why is that "material" fact missing from the tweet? The FBI SOP requires 302's to be written immediately after contact with subject while memory is fresh.

If Judge Sullivan makes a reference to “Lock Her Up” then he automatically gets appointed to the Supreme Court. It’s in the Constitution.

And we also have Flynn supporters outside the courthouse singing “God Bless America”. (Yes, that’s an inflatable Trump rat parked across the street.)



I just took a look at the scene about ten minutes ago. There are probably fewer than fifty people standing on Third Street NW outside the courthouse. It's cold, it's breezy, and they are in the shadows. The inflatable rat has been deflated and put back in its pickup truck. They guy who drives around with the camper top-truck with all the signs is driving around on Pennsylvania Avenue and Constitution Avenue.
