    Weren't you paying attention to the case?(That makes a lot of sense if you weren't.) The Mueller team threatened Flynn that if he didn't plea, they'd charge his son on FARA-Turkey(they did anyway). So yeah, these people aren't and never have been honest individuals. The best part? FARA-Turkey fell apart ironically because Flynn could not and would not make the false statements they wanted him to make.

    The DOJ said that wasn’t proper, after Mueller’s team finally turned over all the Brady evidence, and they said what he said wasn’t material thus not a crime. Read the court filings

    Did you read your own link? The transport minister was not a partner, and Trump had no knowledge of their inner business dealings. The project started in 08 and is apparently a ****ing boondoggle. Yes he got out of it after the election when he didn't have time to **** with that, but no longer needed to save face by showing that he finishes what he starts/won't give up on the project or what have you.

    Why don't you do us all a favor and 1) list the elements for prosecution under the Act and then 2) tie the elements to specific facts.
    If you find you're missing an element, you may make a supposition as to what is there that meets it in your opinion but that you cannot directly show. Note a supposition as such.

    I'm not holding my breath though

    By hounding and harrassing him, by launching bogus investigations, and taking him before an Obama judge for anything and everything under the sun; and then doing it again and again and again after even a corrupt Obama judge had to toss out the 'evidence' as being garbage.

    (Shrug) That's all I recall of the explanations given by the few right of center media outlets of the day. Naturally no left of center media outlets covered that part whatsoever.

    Wait a minute. The right has been investigating the Clintons for 25 years, and to date, turned up nothing.

    That isn't 'getting away with it'. If it were true, then that is gross incompetence by the investigators. Either they have been getting away with it and the right is key stone cops incompetent, or they were innocent. One or the other is true.

    Schiff is an American hero. Flynn is a disgrace to the Uniform.

    No need to incarcerate the innocent with the guilty... I agree that won't leave much, but a couple anyway....

    The best antidote to this corruption is voter turnout in November, like there was in 2018.

    There is no question there are more Americans against Trump than for him. The only 2 questions is: are they in the correct states and will they turn out...

    They used the same dirty tactic against Cohen's and Manafort's family.

    2018 turned out the way it did because the Russia hoax was hanging over Trump's head, Mueller purposely withheld the no conspiracy finding until after the election.

    Dems lost the 2010 midterms and Obama still was re-elected.

    "Republicans won the nationwide popular vote for the House of Representatives by a margin of 6.8 points[4] and picked up 63 seats, taking control of the chamber for the first time since the 2006 elections. This represented the largest single-election shift in House seats since the 1948 elections and the largest midterm election shift since the 1938 elections"

    Wikipedia on the 2010 midterms.

    I appreciate the cut and paste, but you really should attribute the source. which I think, was lifted from the book, "What's Wrong With Trump" by Michael N. Narcus.
    Correct? However, though the texts match excerpts from the book, the annotations do not, which is probably wikipedia, right?

    2018 turned out the way it did because Conservatives are severely outnumbered when Independents ditch you.

    They have...

    Flynn should just thank his lucky stars that the Trump admin is corrupt, and he is not going to be going to prison

    I really doubt Flynn will want to get under oath and discuss this any further

    Lol...trump and barr have managed to turn the justice system in America into a corrupt circus and now they are trying to whitewash the rampant collusion between the trump gang and the fake news and propaganda industry run by the russians.

    The fact is that trump and several of his hires and relatives were getting in bed with putin and his cronies to help themselves during the campaign, and given trump's servile attitude toward putin, I suspect that trump is also probably compromised by the russians and the saudis because of his business interests so they got him by the shorthairs.

    He's not only incompetent due to his deplorable lack of character, he's a danger to American interests because he is willing to throw the country under the bus to serve his own interests.

    Do you realize how funny that sounds...

    They did anyway....

    If they had enough to charge Junior, it wasn't a valid "threat" to Senior, now was it?

    How do you come up with that logic?(Also, defining 'enough' given these people is simple. If you so much as were either affiliated with the targets and knew the targets, you became a target.). Just because they *could* charge JR, didn't mean that they should(after all, the case fell apart) and they themselves knew that that's why they dangled the fruit in front of them.

    Which is why he threw in with that lot to begin with.... Gotta be a lot of fun working with the permanent safety net of disappearing charges or dangling pardons...
