    Bombshell...Flynn's Judge asked if he wanted to pull his plea in light of the intel Mueller had released....speaks volumes of how the Judge viewed the tactics. With that said, totally understand Flynn wanting to get this behind him,

    And the judge is setting a recess in a few minutes... so much for this being a rubber stamp hearing....

    Mueller will hammer Flynn and his family if he doesn't plead guilty and make the Mueller investigation look "legit".

    Wow, how far have we fallen as a country. I feel like we have become the Soviet Union.

    Is that the spin you are going with? Flynn sold out the country. The judge, who was a RW hero all weekend, is disgusted with Flynn and his lawyer forcing him to look into a nothingburger this past week.

    “All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser to the President of the United States,” the judge tells Mike Flynn. "That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably, you sold your country out."

    I too was wondering how the judge concluded that much from this? Makes no sense whatsoever! Hillary and Obama left an Ambassador and others to die in Libya, but they are golden!

    Totally.

    David Ignatius, who broke the conversation story in January 2017, just said it was a "bizarre move" and "bad tactical mistake" by Flynn's lawyers to suggest Flynn was manipulated into lying by the FBI at the 11th hour..

    Somehow Trump fans don't see that as a problem.

    Only representing one country at a time doesn't stretch a man properly.....

    Or put in terms Trump and his fanboys might understand "The USA doesn't pay"...

    "The aggravating circumstances are serious. Not only did you lie to the FBI, you lied to senior officials in the incoming administration," Sullivan said."

    It appears Sullivan is greatly upset about Flynn not being up front with Trump and the Admin.

    Agree.

    They sold out the country and reaped millions in money from Putin and the Middle East. They didn't care that they killed Americans, lied to Americans and the FBI. They were literal despots in high positions.

    SENTENCING: “A federal judge tore into former national security adviser Michael Flynn during his sentencing hearing on Tuesday by saying he sold out the U.S. while he briefly held his position.”

    I’d like to see the DOJ go after all the unregistered foreign agents in DC now. That won’t happen.

    Thin gruel:

    There have been enough leaks in this case all through the process to prepare us for these sorts of details, but it doesn’t make it any easier to digest. Running down the list, it appears that there are no charges stating that Flynn actually broke the law during his time on the job. In fact, most of what’s detailed in this memo sounds like a case of Flynn doing precisely the sort of things you’d expect a national security adviser to do. (Does it really sound shocking to anyone that Flynn would be talking to the Russian ambassador?)

    This was a case of Flynn not being convicted of doing anything wrong, but of misleading investigators when he was asked about it. He was convicted of “downplaying his interactions” with Kislyak. He apparently testified that he’d only spoken to foreign officials to ask them “where they stood” on a particular UN vote, not to attempt to influence them. (If you think we don’t try to leverage our relationships with other nations to get them to vote our way in the UN, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.)

    These are questions being asked by people such as Alan Dershowitz.​

    The "lock her up" guy is officially disgraced. I love this. I absolutely love this.

    Ruling: Flynn takes judge up on offer to delay sentencing... as he couldn't guarantee zero jail time as the state of his cooperation stands now.

    WOW

    Even Mueller said his cooperation was top notch....

    You think it'll work if they wire Flynn up now?? I don't, but with the stupidity of this administration, maybe it will..

    Nice analogy actually. (WWF)
    It is about that real.
    This has gone down exactly as I said it would from the very beginning... they will search high and low for SOMEONE to charge, and those charges will have nothing to do with the intent of the investigation.

    Yes and Sweden is a parliamentary democracy. Social democracy is about POLICY not the form of governance.

    Amazing how often thinking something to be false can be rectified by actually understanding what you are hearing.

    Unfortunately, for you, Hillary is NOT the Topic of the thread.

    "But...But...Hillary..." :bored:

    And, back ON topic, Flynn needs to sing some more to save himself prison time.

    Hillary is the subtopic of EVERY thread on here for some.... From Michael Flynn, to Trump Foundation to Border Wall to an 11 year old dancing at a gay club.... I truly couldn't give 2 rat farts about her (only to defend her from the worst of the worst BS), but she truly lives rent free in some peoples heads...
