    Man, so many of these "best people" are being charged.

    Is this a witch hunt on "best people" of America.

    There definitely are - both for him and his alt-right clown of a son.

    They got him to plead to the lesser because they are going *up* the chain - guess who is above him in the chain?

    Now I'm 99% sure Flynn made a deal. No way does he plead guilty, otherwise, in my opinion.

    He definitely made a deal. He is looking at less than year locked up instead of 60

    Things are getting interesting, I still feel getting the underlings and censure Trump is better than kicking him out of the office, all this would not even be possible unless Democrats take back the congress in 2018, so earliest we can expect anything to happen is 2019.

    When will Ramon Sessions be charged? Either he is completely senile and does not know a Russian from a Mexican, or he is a bigger lier than Trump.

    Important to note that both Trump and Pence knew of Flynn's work with Russia and Turkey (that he is accused of lying to the FBI about) as far back as November...

    So much winning. I'm tired of all the winning. And the swamp draining.

    He definitely made a deal, which is huge.

    You only make deals with guys to get guys of higher standing and there is only 4 guys higher than Flynn - Trump, Trump Jr. Kush and Pence.

    Flynn will testify "that as a candidate Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians."

    There was so much out there regarding Flynn he has to have given Mueller a lot for him to only face one charge.

    All these lesser plea deals for "lying" are a facking joke. If these folks are bad and corrupt then go after them to the fullest. Also you can't lie to the FBI if you're not under investigation by the FBI which is a another reason I HATE these pleas. The other problem with that FBI is the example of the Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting. Apparently the FBI was more concerned about the leaker of that meeting & meeting details (some security contractor working at the airport) and focused their "investigation" on him. That's the problem with charges like "lying to FBI" again because you have to be investigated in the first place and with an FBI which picks and chooses it's targets that can be a huge corruption problem.

    So here is what we're faced with. Alleged corrupt politicians working with Russia/Russians OR corrupt FBI organization who might be politically targeting investigations. They both suck for this country and again all because these weak plea deals that will net so much credit and congrats & million dollar book deals for the lawyers who got them.

    It's clear to me that what I've been saying since day one (Trump won't finish term) is getting closer and closer. Trump went so far that he has no friends, only enemies. This is a FBI driven coup-like attempt (supported and emboldened by both sides) under the guise of cleaning up corruption. This is disgusting to me because corruption is corruption and I don't by the doing bad things for good reasons because the people always lose. And before you roll your eyes, remember FBI's seemingly on and off corruption radar and ask yourself why decide to go after this corruption but ignore other.

    All that said, I'd rather have an FBI coup to replace Trump than Trump try to battle the FBI & I'm sure he'd prefer ending his presidency earlier than planned over a bullet to the head from one or two "crazed" gunman.

    Gee... lets look back at what Trump said about contacts with Russians...

    Trump and Sessions Denied Knowing About Russian Contacts. Records Suggest Otherwise.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/02/us/politics/trump-jeff-sessions-russia.html


    Trump team issued at least 20 denials of contacts with Russia

    I still don't see how the dots connect. I'm struggling with this. What does Trump asking Flynn to talk to Russia have to do with Trump and Russia. Maybe a JCDenton style excel file might help.
