And it Begins:Special Prosecutor To Investigate Trump And Russia

[IndySteel]

Gloating over the stock market crashing Tibs? Why do you hate old people?

Dow is heading back up now. Probably people reading the charges and realizing there's still nothing there.

The crash this morning was because of talk of delay on the vote for the tax plan. It climbed back up when the Senate said they had the votes to pass it. The market had nothing to do with this horseshit witch hunt.

I'm not gloating over anything. Just wanted to make sure we're caught up with stock market reports as Spike's been posting them each and every day. Seems like we skipped today's, for some odd reason. Didn't want anyone to be accused of trying to sugarcoat the news when it's not to their liking. That would be awful.

Having read the report. I don’t see what is wrong with having him contact twelve different Countries to discuss a UN vote. It has nothing I see to do with the election or collusion or anything nefarious. Really what is the issue here other than his lying about it and the man just seems to be a habitual liar.

Yeah, and Trump fired him for lying to Pence. Anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

There is odd logic in the idea of turning a known and admitted liar into a key witness against someone else (especially when prosecutors and investigators "pay them off" with good legal deals).

Anyone else think that's kind of foolish? How can you believe what he says NOW is any more truthful than what he said BEFORE now that he has a deal in place?

Maybe the deal will include something about his son

which one of you racist ************* is calling The First Black President of The United States a ******* commie liar? I won't have that.

"Gov. Romney, I'm glad you recognize al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida," Obama said. "You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years. But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policy of the 1950s, and the economic policies of the 1920s."

so ... either Russia is now our friend, as The First Black President of The United States stated, or The First Black President of The United States is a ******* liar.
which is it?

As he was leaning toward Medvedev in Seoul, Obama was overheard asking for time — “particularly with missile defense” — until he is in a better position politically to resolve such issues.

“I understand your message about space,” replied Medvedev, who will hand over the presidency to Putin in May.

“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said, expressing confidence that he would win a second term.

“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev, Putin’s protégé and long considered number two in Moscow’s power structure.

The exchange, parts of it inaudible, was monitored by a White House pool of television journalists as well as Russian reporters listening live from their press center.

so, are we good with Russia or ...? Seriously, we need to figure this out.

 

[madinsomniac]

Like I said before... if all Flynn says is he had contact with Russia over the sanctions and Trump or someone else told him to do that, its dead right here... if he coordinated with the Russians to hack the DNC, the dems might have a leg to stand on, but if its just the former then no laws were broken other than lying under oath in a politically charged witch hunt, and that won't get anywhere as we saw before... I swear every couple decades tge same scenarios play out with the parties switching sides

Flynn lying to the FBI with no underlying crime


FBI reviewed Flynn’s calls with Russian ambassador but found nothing illicit

The FBI in late December reviewed intercepts of communications between the Russian ambassador to the United States and retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn — national security adviser to then-President-elect Trump — but has not found any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit ties to the Russian government, U.S. officials said.

The calls were picked up as part of routine electronic surveillance of Russian officials and agents in the United States, which is one of the FBI’s responsibilities, according to the U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss counterintelligence operations.

NOTHING BURGER +1


"Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn"



POTUS Trump Attorney Ty Cobb Sets The Record Straight After General Flynn’s Guilty Plea

“Today, Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor at the White House for 25 days during the Trump Administration, and a former Obama administration official, entered a guilty plea to a single count of making a false statement to the FBI.

“The false statements involved mirror the false statements to White House officials which resulted in his resignation in February of this year. Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn. The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

[deljzc]

So it's the same lie that got him fired by Trump in the first place?

How is that going to be used against him?

 

[IndySteel]

Hilarious! Tibs comes running in here all excited and happy as hell, only for another big letdown. I picture a toddler muttering "aaaawwwwwww" while pounding sand.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

This is hilarious. All day on the radio news breaks, i’m hearing liberals breathlessly anticipating some smoking gun testimony. They kept saying he got off so light, it MUST mean he made a deal to give dirt on Trump. It’s the only explanation.

Another explanation. This small thing is the only thing he actually did wrong and he still feels he’s innocent but because his lawyer bills are bankrupting him, so he decided to take a plea.

 

[Tibs]

Hilarious! Tibs comes running in here all excited and happy as hell, only for another big letdown. I picture a toddler muttering "aaaawwwwwww" while pounding sand.

Yes, I saw Spike's shiny, colorful Christmas pic's and immediately realized this was yet another false alarm. Rats, foiled again. I'll crawl back under a rock and cuddle with my framed & signed Hillary posters until the next breaking news story from Mueller. Then I'll come bouncing back with glee that 'Yes! This is the one! The big break we've been waiting for!' Until then, I'll sulk, mope around and hang my head, utterly miserable. Trump is a dark cloud hanging over my head, raining sorrow down on me. Almost too painful to bear, with all this Winning! going on. The shame and self-doubt, that I've swallowed these fake news stories for over a year now, with nothing to show for it. Embarrasing and pathetic. Maybe someday I can be like you guys and get on the Trump train and be popular and respected around here. Maybe, someday....sigh.

The White House said on Friday that it was the Obama administration that authorized former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during President Trump's transition, according to CNN.

Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Kislyak in the month before Trump took office, the first current or former Trump White House official brought down by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling.

Court records indicate that his communications with Kislyak were directed by a Trump transition official, with multiple news outlets reporting that official was Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner
.
"They are saying here at the White House that Flynn's conversations with Sergey Kisylak were quote 'authorized' by the Obama administration," CNN correspondent Jim Acosta said.

"We should point out, that is something that we have not heard before in terms of a defense from this White House."

The White House did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.

In a statement released shortly after he entered his guilty plea, Flynn acknowledged that he is cooperating with Mueller's probe into Russian interference during last year's election and any coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

According to court documents, Flynn lied to investigators when he told them that he did not ask Kislyak to refrain from retaliating against U.S. sanctions imposed by the Obama administration in response to the Russian meddling.

Flynn also lied when he told the FBI that he did not lobby Kislyak to oppose or delay a United Nations Security Council vote condemning Israeli settlements, a resolution strongly condemned by Trump.

Flynn resigned from the Trump White House in February - just 24 days into office - after it was reported that he misled Vice President Pence and other officials about his contacts with Kislyak.

The White House sought to distance itself from Flynn on Friday, noting that he only served as Trump's national security adviser for a few weeks and that he lied to Pence about his interactions with Kislyak in the same vein that he lied to the FBI.

Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, and his associate Rick Gates were indicted last month in Mueller's probe, and George Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to Trump's campaign, pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents.

But unlike them, Flynn was a part of nearly Trump's entire presidential campaign and held a high-level national security position in the administration.

Flynn served as the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under former President Barack Obama, but was removed from that post in 2014. Obama reportedly advised Trump against bringing him back to the White House.
