    I wrote what he was factually investigated for and what he pled to. Your opinion of him as a threat is irrelevant. We.only have Mueller to agree on.

    Youre a loon. You are arguing from a perspective that there was collusion.That's the problem with your argument. You have in your mind Mueller had a collusion target

    There was no collusion. Flynn is as close he got to any collusion and what he was questioned about was post election

    THERE WAS NO COLLUSION

    I never brought up collusion in this discussion.

    You are simply a nut job, no other way to put it.

    So what do you think Mueller wanted him to corroborate?

    You started off saying he cooperated to avoid kidnapping charges in post #510. You were wrong

    Then you say he pleaed to give up other members of the team. That never happened and i showed you that the plea says thats a possibility. But it never happened

    So you move to the next attempt. Whatever

    Flynn lied to the FBI - he should go to prison for that

    That is what he pled guilty to. Thats not in dispute. I think its railroading. He lied about asking Russia not to retaliate for being sanctioned. Whats wrong with asking Russia that?

    It's not my opinion it's standard operating procedure for determining who gets security clearance and who is a threat

    The fact that he lied to the FBI - which is a felony. I mean, what's wrong with Clinton lying about having sex with an intern?

    Was he told that he lied, could not remember details and then withheld the exculpatory evidence that’s proved he didn’t?

    More to the point: What was the exact thing that he lied about? Be very specific, because the transcript of the call is now declassified. Something he did not have access to when he took the plea deal.

    The DOJ withdrew their case. In what kind of world do we live in where a case is withdrawn yet a judge does not act as instructed by the higher court - dismiss ?

    It’s appalling. Flynn was not a Nat Sec risk. He’d already been vetted. It’s purely political and alarming that you simply don’t care because the shoe isn’t on the other foot. It’s hypocritical.

    But prove he lied. The only ‘proof’ anyone falls back on his his plea what he made whithout exculpatory evidence. It was withheld because Mueller’s cronies had it classsifed at the time. Hell they torched the original 302. That alone should be a free ticket.

    Where is your faux outrage for Comey lying to Congress? Or McCabe to both the FBI and Congress...or Brennan? It doesn’t suit your political ideals so you’re a hypocrite. Just admit it. It’s more honorable in my eyes. It’s like me not giving a **** that the Astros cheated. There. That’s honest.

    What am I assuming?

    The proof is that he not once, but TWICE plead guilty to lying.

    It's true. He pled guilty to lying. He was told he lied and even commented he could not remember if he did or didn't. Had his team of lawyers had the transcript they would've advised him differently. But the transcript, the 302's, and a ton of other exculpatory evidence was withheld by Mueller's team. Powell had to petition after he pled to get the evidence and even then it was withheld until the DNI declassified and released it.

    Again, what specifically did he lie about? If you were in his place and same thing happened, you'd plea too. You are denied the transcript to refer back to and you don't know if you may have said something (without counsel) and accidentally contradicted yourself. So you take the plea after fighting it for a year. Then you find out you didn't lie after all. Hmmmm...... Only in your vision of America.

    There are levels or security clearance and there is also a time frame and chronology to examine. That was granted prior to him engaging with the Russians. Trump was warned about Flynn's issues.
