So this whole thread is about a suggestion? SMH, I'll check back in with you guys in a couple of years once we get through this whole hope and change period you are currently under.

LOL, well there is this~ "As for the specifics of Flynn’s assistance, Mueller writes that he has “participated in 19 interviews” with either the special counsel’s office or attorneys from other Justice Department offices, as well as providing “documents and communications.”

The article has a lot of interesting info.

4 takeaways from Mueller


The Judge sees all the info that is redacted for us.

Being the FBI, on more then one occasion said they did NOT believe Flynn lied, he will be pardoned, IMO.

And Vox tends to write things based on their opinions, so you're not likely to find their same points in other articles, which is why I didn't bother looking, and why I didn't bother clicking. Basically, just wondering if they have any valid points for a change.

"And Vox tends to write things based on their opinions", and who do you read that you think DOESN'T?

To a professional, especially one used to government service, being saddled with such a record is far more grievous than spending months (or even years) in prison.
I am trying to understand your logic.

If he was sent to prison he would also have a felony record. You are saying having a felony record and not going to prison is worse than having a felony record and going to prison?

Flynn will no longer be working in any capacity for the federal government. If that was so important he would not have been involved in all the stuff that landed him in trouble in the first place. At this point he can work as a consultant for any number of entities and make way more money than he did with his previous government jobs. He can also cash in with a book deal which I am sure is in the works.


There is always room at the table in DC for people like him. In DC having no conscience and doing anything for a buck are good qualities, he has them. He even got his son involved in this illegal stuff which is about as low as you can get.

Nothing to do with collusion. Same as Manafort and that lawyer guy. No collusion so far. The more they look the less they find.

So in other words, we know nothing about anything at this point besides speculation? They are not or will not release findings to the public? Do we have a time frame for the investigation to be completed? Have they at least released a timeline or is this going to take a lot longer?

Pardoned only means he will not serve the full term of his sentencing. It does not mean he is not guilty. Whatever it is that he is accused of and sentenced for if anything, will still be on full display for everyone to read and discuss.

Most news services, actually. Major news services may report events with their own bias, but they don't make things up out of thin air. As someone else noted, Vox is the left version of InfoWars. It sounds like they've taken Mueller's suggestion of leniency for Flynn, and created some fantasy as to what it means for the Trump presidency. But just as I don't go to InfoWars for my news, neither will I click on that link in the OP.
