Lock him up :v:
Flippin' Flynn gets to squirm. I've been waiting almost a year for this. Look forward to Trump going apeshit on Twitter today.
Flynn is going to sing like a fucking canary bye donnie
Quick refresher, this is the same charge that George Poppadopolous plead guilty to. Since Flynn is “due in court shortly” it will be interesting to see how he pleads. If he pleads guilty, it’s essentially confirmation that he is cooperating with Mueller.
Get wrecked. Maybe criminal charges will finally refresh his memory.
You can't see it, but I have the widest smirk right now. The dominoes are falling. :dogcited:
Its gonna be a good Christmas boys
apparently reports indicate he's going to plead guilty to one count, which suggests that Mueller got his claws in him not posted in the OP because it's not in the BBC article
New York Times is reporting that Flynn is expected to plead guilty, signalling Mueller has flipped him. Plea will be entered in about [del]half an hour's time[/del] an hour and a half from when this post was made [url]https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/01/us/politics/michael-flynn-guilty-russia-investigation.html[/url]
Okay, so this is basically confirmation that Flynn made a plea deal. They had Flynn on [I]way[/I] worse shit than this, so if the only thing they're actually charging him is "making false statements" (same thing they charged Papadapoulos with), then it is almost certainly because Flynn is taking a deal and testifying against other members of the Trump admin. This is pretty fucking huge if/when confirmed.
Flynn has been the obvious 'next target' for a while now. If he's down, who's next on the list? Sessions? Kushner? Trump Jr?
Flynn has definitely flipped then. Awwwwww yeah!
I guess this is also confirmation that the ride is far from over cus you don't flip Flynn unless you're planning to get someone bigger [editline]1st December 2017[/editline] Reminder that President Obama personally warned President-elect Trump not to hire Flynn [url]https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/obama-warned-trump-against-hiring-mike-flynn-say-officials-n756316[/url] Nevertheless, he persisted
[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;52937810]I guess this is also confirmation that the ride is far from over cus you don't flip Flynn unless you're planning to get someone bigger[/QUOTE] That's the most important takeaway here. A plea deal like this means two things: 1) Flynn has to have already offered sufficiently incriminating evidence to be extended the deal, meaning that Flynn may have been cooperating with Mueller's team for some time now, and also potentially meaning that Kushner's interview with Muller's people last week happened on the heals of Flynn offering testimony. Kushner could well have been being tested by Mueller's team to see whether or not he was forthcoming about the information that they had received from Flynn. If caught in lies, Kushner is another domino to fall. 2) The only people above Flynn that he could have "flipped" on were Donald Trump and Mike Pence. A deal would not have been offered for Flynn to flip on people on the same level, or lower level, than he himself served in the administration, unless the information he offered was sufficiently damning as to bag [B]several[/B] other key targets of the investigation. In either case, it's bad fucking news for the Trump admin.
the day this all comes crashing down will be beautiful. can't wait to look at t_d.
[QUOTE=Crumpet;52937824]the day this all comes crashing down will be beautiful. can't wait to look at t_d.[/QUOTE] "Fake news and more liberal lies designed to suppress our voices, we will not be suppressed" coupled with a lot of screeching and gnashing of teeth their pipe dream collapsed around their heads.
"The campaign chairman only played a very small role in the campaign" "The national security advisor played a very small role in the administration" "The president's son-in-law was not a big part of his work" "The president's son was not particularly close to him" "The president was only a small part of the administration"
If Papadopoulos's testimony was a bombshell, Flynn will be a nuke. If Donald Trump isn't white as a sheet and trembling in his office chair right now, he's a bigger fool than anyone gave him credit for.
Every time news like this comes out, I smile so big I can't help but to even laugh a little. This is just too good.

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;52937877]so about 20 minutes ago then, any update?[/QUOTE] I believe his court hearing is in 25 minutes
Can’t help but feel that people are shoving all of their eggs into a Dixie cup here... Yeah he may have a plea deal but for all we know it could have been stuff on Manafort or even something unrelated to the main investigation. People are putting wayyyy too much stock into Mueller imo rather than trying to seek out worthwhile candidates

Timezones! Yeah it's gonna be an hour later than I thought

TV says they can already confirm he's gonna plead guilty because of the type of documents they filed or something.

And the way plea deals work is you get it if you rat one someone higher than you. Trump should be fucking scared rn.
I dunno. Just feels like a wild goose chase that they painted as an organized investigation. I seriously doubt any significant thing will come out of this hearing, or if anything does, we won’t see it for another year or more. Again, people come up and say how good the investigation and Mueller are, but never seem to address my point that nobody is searching for new candidates or anything along those lines. Going to be pretty sad when this investigation (inevitably) leads nowhere and people freak out because they had no plan b [editline]1st December 2017[/editline] The reason I say it’s notgoing anywhere was, if it’s all so easy and up front as everyone is making it out to be, and all these “according tos” and “familiar withs” are right then...where are the charges? Why wait? If it’s such a “bombshell” then why has nothing happened for months?

Im so sick of seeing this hopelessness, and it spreads like a virus.
