Flynn Flipped: Prepared to testify that he was ordered contact Russian Govt - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;52941946]He's right. Ain't no rule says a dog can't be President.[/QUOTE] Well I mean technically But I doubt there's any 35-year old dogs out there

[QUOTE=Retinazer;52942058] The ABC news reporter who did the Flynn report is now suspended for 4 weeks w/o pay [/QUOTE] Honestly, that's great. In today's day and age where a single tweet of misinformation can spread like wildfire throughout the world in a moments notice, we need to be hard on people who do not vet their information. Journalists are in a position of influence, and that influence needs to be fair and thought out. I guarantee there will be people peddling this information for months without second thought. Good on ABC for admitting their mistake and issuing punishment for even unintentional misinformation. Too bad intentional misinformation is par the course for many news organizations.

People are really hard on the mainstream media but hey they're more accountable than the government right now.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52941358]I wouldn't get your hopes up, guys. Remember this is the same buffoon that admitted to firing Comey "because of the Rusher [sic] thing" on a television interview and faced no repercussions as of yet. On a tangential note: This is... interesting? Not sure if it relates directly to this Flynn story but I don't think a teaser of a future development in the Mueller investigation deserves its own thread.

Brian Ross may be an idiot but that doesn't mean there isn't a story here. Points that are not disputed: Flynn had meetings with Russia during the transition That meeting was on the orders of someone higher than Flynn Flynn lied to the FBI and claimed that meeting did not happen Now, it's being claimed that the meeting was only about ISIS and Syria - normal, perfectly valid reasons to meet with a country's leadership. But that doesn't make sense - because if so, why would Flynn lie about it? Just tell the FBI "yeah, we had a meeting about the war in Syria, here's a transcript, nothing untoward happened". So clearly, whatever the meeting was actually about, they didn't want the FBI knowing about. We can only speculate about what it is, but whatever it was, it was more illegal than lying to the FBI. "Where there's smoke, there's fire", as the old saying goes. Well, we're seeing a lot of smoke. Dumpster fires tend to make a lot of smoke.

The ABC story and corrections is a red herring. It doesn't even matter in the big picture. The story that matters is that Flynn got such a good deal. He wouldn't have gotten a deal that sweet unless he was delivering bigger fish on a gilded platter.

[QUOTE=J!NX;52942937]what was said exactly? which report was it[/QUOTE] [media]https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/937110546519871488[/media] NBC incorrectly reported that Flynn was instructed by the Trump campaign before the election. Instead, it occurred after the election, before inauguration. They screwed up on the facts, but it doesn't change how fucked Flynn and the Trump transition team (likely Kushner, Pence, and Donnie) are. Contrary to Trump's claims, the things Flynn has [I]admitted to lying to the FBI about by way of his guilty plea[/I] are themselves violations of the Logan Act -- [I]not[/I] legal in the slightest. The fact that Mueller is charging him with only lying to the FBI means he must have had a juicy story to tell in exchange for a light sentence. [media]https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/937201812121190400[/media] Oh, and while I'm here, the web of lies has just snagged Pence. Pence [U]led[/U] the transition team, there is almost no chance he didn't know what was going on with Flynn by at least the start of January, but he lied on-camera and now Ty Cobb has forgotten the plot and contradicted Pence. Oops. Cobb also doesn't understand the Logan Act or its purpose, considering Flynn was allegedly undercutting the Obama administration's position (precisely what the Logan Act prohibits) as a civilian.

Trump went into full Hillary mode, shortly followed by Fake News mode.

Watching them try to downplay Flynn and claim his charge doesn't implicate anyone else isn't even frustrating it's just funny, cus we know it's going to lead to more indictments and possibly very soon. It's like watching a man shout fake news at an approaching megatsunami

Trump's inability to ever admit fault is gonna bite him in the ass if it hasn't already.

Giving Trump access to Twitter is like giving a toddler a loaded gun.

[I]"But crooked Hillary's emails!"[/I] Here's hoping that the collective wave of sanity returning knocks some sense into everyone else.

[QUOTE=Paramud;52943148]Trump went into full Hillary mode, shortly followed by Fake News mode. Shithead tweets[/QUOTE] Didn't you already tweet why Flynn was fired? But go ahead, keep tweeting. Mueller would enjoy it when he is finished with the report. And oh, to remind you and the supporters: Hillary. Rodham. Clinton. Isn't. President. So either resign, or keep tweeting until Mueller comes by.

I saw a tweet earlier that said something along the lines of "Trump has tweeted ~3500 times, but only that one tweet was written by someone else. Hmmm"

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;52944701]I just wanna hear his lawyer deny that he wrote it[/QUOTE] It's a gotcha either way. If his lawyer wrote it, then he more or less directly implicated his own client in a crime, whether he actually did it or not. If his lawyer [I]didn't[/I] write it, then Trump implicated himself. Trump is literally trying to dig his way out of a hole with these excuses, whether they're valid or not.

If his lawyer did it Trump should fire the idiot.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52944865]If his lawyer did it Trump should fire the idiot.[/QUOTE] He didn't do it. But how can you prove it? Lawyer "did it," Trump let's it go because "he's a good friend, great one, mistakes happen, even great friends,"and how can it be proven otherwise?

Friend on Facebook is focused more on the fucked-up reporting by ABC than the possible revelations that are coming out of this hearing. They also claim Trump fired Flynn when we all know that Flynn officially resigned. :disgust:

Something just occurred to me. If Trump sticks to his story that his lawyer wrote the tweet, and the lawyer doesn't deny it, wouldn't that make the tweet inadmissible as evidence regardless of how accurate the information is, as it's a breach of attorney-client privilege?
