    Flynn himself, told you, pleaded with you, under oath, that he was and is guilty. Why would you not take his word for it?
    That is the issue. No one in the DoJ has signed their name to it, and it has caused another resignation, because it is so clearly corrupt.

    • In like Flynn:

      Journalistic legend Andrea Mitchell joins Ron Klain, Anne Milgram, and Harry to discuss the jaw-dropping news of the Flynn dismissal, which the Feds unanimously agree can only be explained by corruption at DOJ. The group then takes on the uneven and dangerous pattern of easing of shelter-in-place orders in various states, and then discusses the whistleblower complaints, particularly the one by Dr. Rick Bright, that portray a White House making life-and-death decisions on the basis of cronyism.

        What part of "He was coerced" don't you understand?

          This part:

          "My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the special prosecutor office reflects a decision I made in the best interests of my family and my country. I accept full responsibility for my actions."

          And lets not forget, Flynn could also have been charged with undisclosed foriegn lobbying for which his partner in the firm was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison, a sentence Flynn avoided by agreeing to cooperate. Flynn broke that agreement, so it's possible, I don't know, that he may be open to that charge again as well.

            He was speaking as a man under duress.

              Everyone making a plea agreement is under duress.

              And again, lets not forget, he avoided a possible 15 year sentence, which his partner in crime received, for undiscosed lobbying for the Turkish government by agreeing to plea.

                Go look up the legal definition of "duress" and get back to me.

                  NBC admits Chuck Todd's 'Meet the Press' deceptively edited Barr remarks on Flynn


                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    The only coercion, which is what I assume you mean by duress, was the coercion Flynn was under as a result of his other unrelated crimes which he avoided being charged with by admitting to his guilt, and agreeing to cooperate in the Russian collusion case.

                    • Funny how all these "honest mistakes" always go in one direction. They might be more believable if just once they favored Trump rather than in every single case they go the other way.

                      It's like flipping a coin 100 times with every result coming up tails. At some point one would start to suspect something fishy is going on.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        The only thing fishy is the idea that cable news is there to provide an unbiased news source. They are there to generate ratings. *Everything* needs to be filtered through that view.

                          Which leaves the possibility that this Russia Collusion thing was an attempt, by Obama Administration hold overs, to subvert the lawfully elected president.

                            Three facts:

                            1) The FBI did not have a legitimate case against General Flynn.
                            2) The FBI falsified evidence against General Flynn.
                            3) The FBI threatened to prosecute General Flynn's son if General Flynn didn't cooperate.

                              We're way past talking in terms of mere possibility at this point.

                                The article I posted yesterday explains, in detail, about the falsity of this claim.


                                2) The FBI falsified evidence against General Flynn.
                                You continue to claim this without pointing to the exact FBI notes which demonstrate this.


                                3) The FBI threatened to prosecute General Flynn's son if General Flynn didn't cooperate.
                                Maybe, maybe not. Define "threaten" as you're using it here and we can figure out whether they did something untoward or not. You do need to explain why sanctions haven't been filed against the lawyers who entered into this agreement with outofficially notifying the court.

                                Just more claims and hype, MM. Show me the money!
