I agree which is why I am focused on the one charged. As I said earlier...

Ah, I see where the White House has already declared this a 'win' for them:


Flynn pleads guilty to lying to FBI, is cooperating with Mueller - CNNPolitics


Winning!

An odd prediction, but Mr. Trump is a rather odd duck, living in his own world.

He found a way to use the establishment's own game against them. That's how he won. That's his appeal.

It doesn't matter that he's a raving psychopath. He's his own psychopath...something the people yearned for and got.

Flynn is flipping.

The fact that he's pleading to just a single charge is no doubt a good indicator that he's singing.

It was inevitable. He's no doubt trying to keep his son out of a federal penitentiary. It'll be fun to see who among the tRump inner circle will be squirming most as a result.

Junior?

Kushner?

tRump himself?

It's gonna be a tense holiday season at tRump tower Manhattan. And all of his golf clubs. Especially Mar-A-Loco. Maybe tRump is busy crafting a pardon at this very minute.

It's December 1st. Time to get into that holiday spirit.

It just keeps getting better.

Season's Greetings.

Flynn says he was ordered to contact the Russians. Who is next? His bosses were Trump, Kushner and Pence.

I suspect that it will be argued that Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered Mr. Flynn to contact the Russians. She is useful for many Republicans in that regard.

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel’s investigation into the president’s inner circle.

now that Herr Flynn is a convicted felon, do they pick up his guns or is he required to bring them in and get his tattoo at the same time.

People REALLY need to get in the habit of looking at existing threads before starting a new one.

Yes, we know...collusion supposedly isn't a crime...but obstruction of justice was one of the charges that led to Nixon's downfall.

Added one for you.
