    Judge Napolitano: Mueller Could Potentially Indict Trump After Flynn Plea Deal

    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/judge-na...ynn-plea-deal/



    When a rabid conservative FOX host says Trump is in serious jeopardy, you know things are bad.
    In March 2017, Napolitano was suspended from Fox News for making unsubstantiated claims that British intelligence officials spied on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign at the request of U.S. President Barack Obama.

      You guys are so easy to fool. Allow me to summarize that story for you:

      "If Mueller has enough evidence to indict Trump, then he will indict Trump."

      That's all it says. Not exactly insightful analysis, is it? Notice how many times words like "if", and "could", and "possible", and "it depends" are used. It's speculation, and nothing more.

      What we do know is that Flynn was essentially given a slap on the wrist, that he's accused of being a liar which ruins his credibility, and that what he was actually indicted for doesn't implicate the President.

      Does Mueller have an ace up his sleeve? Who knows, but this isn't it.

        Mueller could have charged Flynn with numerous lies to the FBI resulting in up to 50 years in jail. The fact that he was only given a “slap on the wrist” is indicative that Flynn's been given a special deal. Minimal jail time in return for telling all he knows. And who would know more than Flynn? Trump’s days are numbered.

        I disagree. This is a big deal.

          Yeah, they are. 7 more years to be precise. Flynn is another big nothing burger.

            I find it interesting how conservatives like you love so much the autocratic, treasonous, anti-democratic, lover of tyrants like Russia's Putin and Turkey's Erdogan. Thank goodness for U.S. liberals.

              I'm pretty apolitical (maybe lean towards conservatism if you really had to push me). The issue is that US liberals are dedicated to pursuing policies and ideas that have failed almost everywhere else. That's not to say that conservatism in the US doesn't have its flaws, it obviously does.

                You mean policies like universal health care and the well targeted welfare safety-nets which have resulted in the more secular, liberal nations topping the UN Human Development Index.

                  US liberals do this as "what can I offer you today to buy your vote forever?" Heck, we'll even throw in free college and erase your school loan debt - after all, we don't pay our own debts, even when we get caught in sex scandals - we just shovel more tax dollars out the window!

                      Actually, the one charge includes 4 lies.

                      The fact that he was only given a “slap on the wrist” is indicative that Flynn's been given a special deal.
                      And officially establishes him as a liar in the eyes of the court, so his testimony will be suspect, at best.

                        You didn't read the National Review article, did you? If Mueller had charged Flynn with criminal conspiracy and then let him plead down to one count of lying, then I would agree that Trump should be worried. But that's not what happened.

                          You have no clue what that word means or who the real autocrat was.

                          treasonous
                          Again, you have no clue what that word means.

                          anti-democratic
                          Democracy is all about the free market and less regulation. But let's not forget AGAIN which side really hates the democratic process...

                              Right, because if it wasn't for the left's hysterics then Trump would have never won the election.

                              • (Breitbart) The Obama administration earlier this year said unequivocally that it did not have a problem with the Trump transition team reaching out to foreign officials, contrary to reports suggesting otherwise.

                                On January 13, 2017, State Department spokesman Mark Toner (pictured) said, “this building doesn’t see anything necessarily inappropriate about contact between members of the incoming administration and foreign officials.”

                                The remark came in response to a reporter’s question specifically about then-incoming National Security Adviser Ret. Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak.

                                Yet Trump critics cried foul about those calls, after revelations on Friday that Flynn, during the transition period, had asked Kislyak to ask Moscow not to retaliate to Obama administration sanctions imposed on December 29, 2016, and that he had also asked him to vote down or delay a United Nations vote condemning Israeli settlements.

                                They said that Flynn potentially violated the Logan Act, a law enacted in 1799 that prohibits negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.

                                Since then, no one has ever been successfully prosecuted for violating it.
