    We now know the big lie. When asked if he discussed something the Russian Ambassador he said "I don't Know". Good grief you can't make this stuff up.

    It’s far from the end of the story. And he wasn’t convicted.

    Enough Trump apologists here in this thread to build a bridge from Alaska to Russia !

    Now Dirty Donnie and his corrupt attorney general are pouring on the whitewash. Nothing just will happen until a change of administration.

    The DOJ has not dropped anything.

    Its recommendations will go to the federal judiciary for review.

    The likeliness of the judge agreeing with DOJ is unlikely.

    If you're against the pardoning of Flynn, then I assume that you were also against Obama pardoning James Cartwright.

    I am looking forward to seeing who unmasked General Flynn and hopefully they will be prosecuted.

    Obama, Comey & Clapper are not too happy and I love it.

    There goes the legacy :roflol:

    Why would you assume that? If Trump wants to pardon Flynn, he should go ahead and do it. The problem is that, if he does, Flynn can't plead the fifth anymore when called to testify. And Flynn knows "too much" for Trump's comfort. I don't know anything about this Cartwright fella. I assume he didn't lie to protect criminal activity by the President who pardoned him. But Flynn is a detestable figure, so I would be happy to see him in prison. But I'd be even happier to see Trump.

    Bullshit. It's about trump and his mob lawyer trying to destroy the rule of law in America to help him escape his crimes.
    Even the Watergate prosecutors know that this is a cheap criminal whitewash and nobody should allow this to happen.
    Flynn is guilty as hell, you know it, and none of the fake news about who forced him to lie and confess to being a foreign agent for trump has anything to do with reality.
    It's shameful how cons now support a mobster trying to rig the US in his favor.

    Nonsense. This is simply their desire to see this man prosecuted, if for no other reason then the fact that Flynn was associated with the Trump Campaign. IE: The very same reason he was targeted in the first place. But they have no standing(as revealed in a 9-0 Supreme Court case.) 9-0 meaning even Liberal Judges agreed. There wasn't a single dissenting view on the matter.

    And the reason there's no standing is obvious, if they had standing then anyone could have standing. Court trials would be overruled by mobs. They not only lack the standing to participate in the case, they also lack the standing to argue against the Justice Department. They're not litigants in the case, and they're also not arguing on behalf of the litigant or the government.

    And no, they're not arguing for the rule of law either. It is up to the government(IE: The Justice Department.) on whether or not it wants to prosecute or not prosecute. If the government agrees with the defense, the defense did not tie the government's hands. To the contrary, would a plea agreement ever have materialized in the first place if the Brady information was given?

    And so, what are the "Watergate prosecutors" really? Old men(and some women) who frankly are past their prime, hoping to cash in on what they once did, to influence a case they think should go differently. The great irony of it all, is if one claims that Trump had influence(and he didn't), the Watergate prosecutors proclaim to a much GREATER influence, in that the direction of the court would potentially be different with their participation.

    Not only do they know this, but they hope it to be so. As a result, their whole reasoning for participating goes against itself. Since it's not neutrality they seek, neutrality would've required them to stay out of the case that they have no interest or standing in but rather a preferred verdict, their presence here violates the court.

    It suggests that Judge Sullivan isn't capable of making his own decisions, and that the watergate prosecutors want to 'steer him' in the right direction. In closing, the Watergate Prosecutors violate the integrity of the court, make a mockery over the Judge presiding and act belligerently against both the government and the defendant.

    You’re right, it’s worse. At least Nixon wasn’t trying to sell the country out to the Russians to help himself get elected. And Nixon had the respect for the office to resign rather than create a scene.
    We all know which way crybaby trump will go when the **** hits the fan. He’ll drag the country into the gutter before admitting his failures.
    Even his old pal Howard Stern is telling him to resign for the good of the country.

    I see that you flew right past my argument, citing a very recent SCOTUS decision to continue on. Howard Stern isn't relevant here either.

    Lol...Yeah, they just picked on some random dude to use to attack trump.
    It had nothing to do with the fact that the man was a foreign agent working in the trump campaign and plead guilty when confronted with the facts. G’wan, tell us another one.

    Nope wrong again. Our President didn’t commit a crime, his opposition did. Nothing like watergate. Nothing at all.

    Flynn wasn't a foreign agent, that's ridiculous and absurd. There are literally thousands of US lobbyists lobbying for their clients abroad. That and the FARA case was literally dismissed(separate from the current case), in part because Flynn couldn't testify to something that wasn't true.

    He didn't "plea guilty" when confronted with the facts, he plea'd guilty because of extortion. By both Special Counsel and by his OWN freaking representation. Who just so happened to have Obama "wing man" Eric Holder on it.

    This is the greatest corruption of a court proceeding in American History.

    Now we know for a fact Joe Biden lied about the unmasking of Gen Flynn and what he knew.

    Joe's name just got dropped on the list of "unmaskers"

    Maybe Joe can claim he was never VP in the first place or mentally stable enough to know what he was actually doing. lol

    It's good to get confirmation, but we all know the previous administration is up to its nose on this. "General Flynn has a story to tell, should the opportunity present itself to tell it."

    The truth's gonna come out, sooner or later.

    Testify for what?

    You have no idea what Flynn knows.

    How exactly do you know what Flynn's motive was in lying?

    Oh I'm sure that you would! You're not going to though!

    When do you expect that he will be called to testify? And I see that you are unable to say how exactly you know what Flynn's motive was in lying!

    I expect him to be called within the first year when he leaves the presidency. I don't know what you mean about Flynn's motive for lying.
