Michael Flynn charged

ABC’s Brian Ross says a source familiar with the matter says Flynn is prepared to testify against Trump, members of his family, Trump staff, & that Trump ordered him to contact the Russians. Ross says Flynn made the decision to cooperate 24 hours ago

Probably just "overblown and overhyped in the minds of progressives." though. :rolleyes:

I think this explains Trump being more unhinged than usual during the past week. He goes mental when the walls are closing in.
 
I've scanned the thread rather quickly, but one or two posters seem to have missed that Flynn has ALREADY pleaded guilty. As with Manafort and Papadopoulos, sentencing will be deferred until they've gotten what the need from him.

Ken White of Popehat, a former federal prosecutor turned defense attorney, offered some advice a while back: If the FBI is asking you questions about something specific, they probably already know the answer and are seeing if you will lie. Then they've got you.

He's just reiterated that in this tweet.

He also hilariously retweeted this from 2014.
 
Muller is running this just like he would in taking down a Mafia family:Start with the street level punks and work your way up.....

As am I! Dominoes falling one by one -- a thing of beauty for those of us who actually believe in truth, justice, and the American way.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I look forward to the day when I dredge up my early prediction of Trump's demise, for an extra helping of schadenfreude.

Judge Napolitano on @FoxNews right now about the Flynn charges: "This is probably the tip of a prosecutorial iceberg. This is a nightmare for Donald Trump."

The consensus, even on fox news, is this is yuuuge.

One Fox analyst on Twitter does not make a consensus. That's your argument? Like I'm somehow supposed to take it seriously because Fox News says so (which they don't)?

Mike pence prayer seems to be answered as current source claim the very senior official is Kushner.

I predict Kushner is the next domino and that little bitch will be singing until he can sing no more.

Sounds weak to me, he was the incoming NSA and would be expected to be contacting foreign governments.

And someone who had signed a contract to buy a house would be expected to start moving their stuff in and moving the seller's stuff out?

Um, what? Every single analyst I've seen so far has agreed that Mueller cut Flynn a deal to get indictable information on a larger player.

The point wasn't that one FOX commenter said so. The point was that even FOX commenters agree - that's how obvious it all is.

Seems like the judge threatened Flynn with the max punishment if Flynn didn't give them someone else.

Which seems like a legal misstep?

The judge didn't do that. He stressed that cooperation with prosecutors would be an important mitigating factor in sentencing. How is any of that a legal misstep?

Right, so why didn't the FBI charge Flynn during it's own investigation?

Why not? He was charged, it looks like a classic plea bargain in exchange for further cooperation in the investigation of the Trump family.

Mueller still has stuff he holds over Flynn's head. Flynn offered to trade info for immunity ("I have a story to tell") months ago.

As for the nonsense he was told he had authorization, bingo, Trump is guilty:

Obstruction of justice, violations of the Logan Act, conspiracy to use the stolen emails, and conspiring with or accepting secret help from Putin et al in the election and that looks to be in exchange for lifting sanctions and the change in the US position on Ukraine and maybe even NATO.
