Michael Flynn is a liar and a traitor, and so is his boss.

    He may be President, but Trump's never been "high level". He can barely see the Abyss if he cranes his head upwards.

    Well, there was Jesse Jackson Jr, and Rod Blagojevitch, and George Ryan, and Mel Reynolds, and Dennis Hastert, and Dan Rostenkowski, and…

    Wow, I live in a fucked up state. :unsure:

    Are you kidding? They were screaming at Obama because of his birth certificate. They'd have pissed their pants in fury if this would have happened to a Democrat.

    And yet, more than one poster here cheered on her shooting. I will give props to those posters, like Muad, who condemned her shooting, even though they disagreed with Gabby's politics. I might find Trump and those in his Administration loathsome, but I have no desire to see any of them shot, or murdered.

    According to the Rupert Murdoch owned WSJ, Flynn has copped a plea deal.

    Ayup. I find it hard to believe that any political in the same situation as the GOP presently is (ie controls the White House and Congress) would be willing to impeach their President, even if he were to be found with a dead gay prostitute in his hotel room. At most, I could see them purging some of the people around the President, but not the President himself.

    No matter what the political alignment, no congresscritter can ignore treason. Colluding with the Russians to influence the election would, I believe, be treason. In other words, a high crime and misdemeanor.

    I'd be surprised...a little...if Trump actually colluded with the Russians himself. Bannon? Hell yeah, but at worst, I think Trump was probably willfully ignorant. Probably.

    Yeah, you can tell yourself that, but even though LBJ knew Nixon committed treason before the '68 election, he didn't push for prosecution.

    On more serious matters.....

    Remember that Flynn was sacked because he lied to Pence and other White House officials.

    It would be easy to see that Flynn's testimony not result in anything happening to Trump. Especially if Flynn testifies to lying to Trump and the White House team.

    “At this early stage, I wouldn’t read anything into this request beyond smart lawyering,” said Mark Zaid, a Washington lawyer who specializes in national security cases. “In such a politically charged, high-profile national security case, I couldn’t imagine not first asking for immunity.”

    “I would suspect both Congress and the F.B.I. will first generate additional evidence from smaller players before deciding to immunize General Flynn,” Mr. Zaid said.

    This could easily be a nothing there situation and he's just asking to try and cover his own ass. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.

    You would be surprised at the mental gymnastics that Republicans are capable of.

    If God existed, I'd be praying to her that you are right. But I don't see Trump going anywhere until 2019 or 2021.

    Nothing surprises me after seeing the family values people of south Carolina re etc their governor who was supposedly hiking in the Appalachian trail but was caught picking up a south American bride in south America while his wife was at home trying to cover for him. This was around the time gay marriage bans were the rage because gays would ruin the sanctity of cheating on your wife with your new south American mistress.

    Still peddling that "trying to cover up their election loss" lie, ain't he?

    Newsflash, Trumpy, we CAN'T cover up the election loss, because there's a massive fucking piece of shit in the White House stinking the place up - it makes it fairly obvious who won.

    I think he was aware, but not directly involved. He is a notorious delegator on complex things, he likes it simple. So probably Flynn or Miller or someone says to him "we can do this thing with the Russians, it will be a big help plus you can make billions" and Trump thinks "Putin loves me, he's a smart leader" and says to them "sure, make it happen" without bothering himself with details

    Possibly, but remember, according to Eric Trump, the Russians are the largest foreign investors in Trump's operations. There might well be more going on here than it appears.
