Flynn charged with one count of making false statement[W:253]

Flynn is but the first domino, of many, to fall.

I suspect that Trump will use Executive Privilege to shield his son-in-law and both of his sons from experiencing the same fate as Flynn and others. Can’t wait to see how this plays out with Sessions.
Good assessment.

It will be interesting seeing if Trump will go even more loosie-goosie, or he'll clam up. I sensed his recent several days of tweets seemed even more erratic than usual, and I attributed it to the news last week that Flynn had severed legal ties with Trump.

Should he be dirty, Trump's only workable defense here will be political. He will need to hold the GOP Congress hostage via his base. I expect his pandering to the base to not just continue, but escalate.

Pence. Head of the transition team. Being that a high official of the transition team ordered flynn according to flynn. Could be Pence.

Has anyone noticed Pence has all but disappeared? Maybe he's squealing like a pig?
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

Do they usually make one charge all by itself? Seems odd to me. But maybe they only charged him with one count because he is providing information and that’s part of a deal...? Otherwise, he and Martha Stewart have much in common.



That's a possibility, but its just as possible they're sending a message; to whom is the question.

Having said that they're hammer just got a lot bigger
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

Agreed.

If this continues, Kushner might be next, with Sessions possible somewhere down the line too.

Or, since it was said that Flynn lied lying to Pence, suppose Flynn gives the information he didn't. That would make Pence a target too. Can't forget about him, no matter how quiet he is right now.

Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

Exactly.

CNN, particuliarly Jeffery Toobin and the blond women (I don't know her name), are stellar in their coverage here this morning.

Fox was pure propaganda.

My money is on others flipping to Mueller. Those would be outside of Trumps inner circle.
I am ex Military- when I wanted to know what was going on in the Unit, I always had Clerks as friends.
People may laugh, but someone takes notes, someone files documents, someone often forgotten as they are considered low level, are often overlooked by many.
 
I wonder how big the party will be at Comet Pizza the day they nail Flynn's son.
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

You called what? Rofl...we've known about this for a while. Did everyone forget why he was fired?

I called that he would flip. I said he lied. I said he would be the first to fall in the Trump camp for lying. Manafort fell all on his own.

No, he's out of the public eye because he anticipates that he might have to take the WH, and doesn't want their imagine attached to his.
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

As part of the deal, Flynn has agreed to cooperate with the Mueller investigation -- and alreadying is supplying information about the actions of top Trump transition officials.

Though the individuals are not named, court documents show Flynn claiming a “very senior member” of the Trump transition team directed him to contact foreign governments including Russia over a United Nations vote – which was the subject of one of Flynn's false statements.

The documents also say Flynn called an unnamed senior transition official in December to ask what to communicate to the Russian ambassador about sanctions. That official and Flynn discussed how they didn’t want Russia to "escalate the situation," something Flynn immediately told the ambassador in a phone call.

linkypoo...

Who was the head of Trump's transition team?

Oh yeah... THIS guy:

Damn, this is possibly getting very big.

My guess -His son will not be charged, I bet that was part of the plea deal.

There's a reason the indictment only speak of lying to the FBI.

The message from Mueller is: "if you lie or attempt to cover up the truth, I will **** you up."
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

I'm not going to say the Trump presidency is over, but it just got into the most serious jeopardy any administration has since Iran-Contra.

If all he had on Flynn was a simple perjury charge he wouldn't be making a plea-deal. No, Flynn understands that Mueller has him on everything from FARA to conspiracy to kidnap, and some state charges that might apply.

Mueller isn't showing all of what he has because he doesn't want other people in the investigation to know just deeply he's probed the administration, which could prevent people from cooperating.

That means there is no longer doubt that Flynn has turned states evidence.


I think you have forgotten Bill Clinton's impeachment for obstruction of justice.
 
Re: Flynn charged with one count of making false statement

President Trump may have defaulted to the GOP, but the GOP chose to defend him at all costs, so they're the ones who chose to marry him. The GOP owns this president, through and through.

There never was a choice. The Dems NEVER would have allowed Trump as a nominee.
