He went off into the weeds long ago. The inauguration has nothing to do with the election.

Of course he has. It's the only way he can keep his son out of prison.

Yep.

Plus the fact that he has entered a guilty plea but hasn't been sentenced is evidence that he's talking all the time. He would have been sentenced by now if he wasn't still talking, still giving evidence of value to the investigators.

I would imagine that Eric Prince's information that recently came to Mueller has been fruitful with Flynn's military background and his contacts in certain countries...
Every rock Mueller turns over likely gives me more avenues to explore===

Re the "Inaugauration evidence" vs the "campaign evidence"
In a conspiracy there are many links in the chain that eventually chokes the guilty
The inaugraration evidence is just proof of how the debt was starting to be paid off

You can ignore it -- doesn't change the facts--
They were in a criminal conspiracy to basically invoke a coup on democracy--
It really likely began in 2013 when the seeds were planted in Trump's brain/ego, cultivated over the years prior to the 2016 in various ways and with various relationships, came to fruition when Trump won the RNC nomination, and is ongoing
Trump's face to face with Putin will be one egotistical moment when Geppetto meets Pinocchio

Just like the engagement has nothing to do with the wedding...

I just cant understand why Republicans are against muellers investigation. You would think a good American would want to know if their president is a traitor or not. Lots of smoke so far. Fire soon to follow.

Trump's inauguration committee raised $106 million but only had an estimated $50 mil in expenses. "...the chair of George W. Bush’s second inauguration, Greg Jenkins, said he was baffled. “They had a third of the staff and a quarter of the events and they raise at least twice as much as we did,” he said. “So there’s the obvious question: Where did it go? I don’t know.”" That extra $50 mil ended up in whose pocket? Follow the money. Rick Gates, right hand man of Paul Manafort, was heavily involved in the fund raising.

It is illegal for an inauguration committee to accept foreign donations. Many of the big donors have extensive dealings in Russia, UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. "...Mueller’s investigators wanted to know why several billionaires with “deep ties to Russia” got access to “exclusive, invitation-only receptions” during the inauguration."
So all the usual suspects giving money for access to Clinton, Obama and now Trump and all of a suddent it's a huge crime because it's Trump.:rol leyes:

Likely because Trump wasn't the only Republican benefiting from Russian money and meddling.

As soon as the Senate Intelligence report came out affirming Russian interference in the election, Republican Senators hot footed it over to Moscow to assure Putin to pay no attention to the report.

On the Fourth of July no less.

One of those going was Kay Grainger--a congresswoman from my part of DFW--
The ONLY Congress member to go -- others were Senators
The local FTW paper has big headline referring to her critics complaining they never know where she is--off junketing much of the time
Grainger has been in office a long time--
She much think she has a lock on reelection but there are pockets of resistance growing in N TX
I hope this trip is enough to rock her boat

Republican Senator Shelby is chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee.

Most of the Senators on this Russian junket are on the Senate Appropriations committee which has jurisdiction over all discretionary spending legislation in the Senate.

What business, pray tell, do members of the Senate Appropriations Committee have mucking around in foreign relations with Russia?

But then, what business do Russians have at the big-donor inauguration galas?
