Andrew C. McCarthy: While initial reporting is portraying Flynn’s guilty plea as a major breakthrough in Mueller’s investigation of potential Trump-campaign collusion with the Russian regime, I suspect the opposite is true…
Update.
I was promised treasonous collusion with Russia to steal an election, not diplomatic groundwork by an incoming admin.

Another day, another serving of nothing burgers from the DNC. Another day of the two minutes hate from CNN. Another day of true believers thinking “today’s the day”, and it isn’t.
Does water still run downhill?
Dead people in Bengazi. Thousands of purposely deleted emails . Move on. Nothing to see . The extent to which the FBI appearsto be politicized is truly scary . It also seems likely they were closely monitoring Trump and everyone around him . In a manner that was likely illegal . Nothing to see . For Trump , he has a uphill battle every inch of the way . And the MSM is making and selling the koolaide . I think it is likely for the people that voted for Trump ( and it had nothing to do with with Russian interference and everything to do with the Clintons and yes , Obama ) they are quietly enjoying the affirmation of their desicions. Further to to that ,based on the numerous people I spoke with, it is likley Trump received more votes than were counted . Three government employees told me the email shenanigans would have landed anyone else in jail . Hopefully , the will of the people will not be suppressed.
The US government has been infiltrated after 8-years of an America-HATING POTUS, Cabinet, and hangers-on. Our Constitution has been undermined, and the entire system of governance has been subverted. The FBI, and every other agency needs to be put under intense scrutiny. Heads need to roll. Anyone who doesn’t swear and demonstrate alliegence to the VOTERS of the USA and to our Constitution needs to be summarily dismissed. Clean house NOW! It can’t wait.
Were you lying then or are you lying now? Obama fired Flynn (an almost impossible occurrence) and Trump fired Flynn for lying to Pence. Seems like Flynn is a pathological liar and should be easily shredded by Trump attorneys should it ever come to that.
I think Flynn frigged up. I suspect Trump would have pardoned him on chickenshit charges that sent him to jail. Ain’t no pardon in the cards now. Note that there is still no whiff of collusion with the Russians to steal the election, the only mission of the special prosecutor. Everyone should just stop talking to the FBI. Don’t plead the 5th unless before a grand jury – otherwise just don’t talk.
Oh cmon, don’t ya all know that TRUMP is a secret spy for Mudda Russia, doing Putins dirty work? We all know TRUMP inhales vodka, spends his off hours in his Moscow mansion, and facilitated Hillary’s defeat in a stunning conspiracy?
No? Where’s Progressive Pat to verify this?
Why hasn’t that Uranium One FBI informant testified yet? We are all waiting. Who is preventing it?
Why does the FBI continue to spout nonsense about Las Vegas?
Why doesn’t somebody investigate U1, Clinton’d emails, Washerwoman Shorts’ et al?
What does Sessions do all day?
Captcha: Ausfahrt sounds so much better in English 🙂
As popehat often says, Don’t talk to the FBI
Well we know he doesn’t have any dirt on the Dem’s, otherwise we’d be reading about another botched robbery fatality.
Kenji, what if it wasn’t just from 8 years of having a progressive POTUS that enabled the deep state infiltration? What if many deep state operatives have been working their way up and the previous POTUS administration served basically to connect up things into a bigger network?
This didn’t take long. A correction from the “CHIEF investigative correspondent” doncha know…
**On Friday’s World News Tonight, ABC chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross issued an embarrassing correction to a bombshell scoop he offered hours earlier about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s, revealing that Flynn was told by President-elect Trump and not candidate Trump to reach out to Russian officials.
This marked only the latest epic fail by Ross, coming five and a half years since he falsely claimed the man behind the Aurora, Colorado movie theater massacre was a Tea Party member.**So, it wasn’t “candidate” Trump telling Flynn to “make contact with Russians” but Trump as “President-elect” asking Flynn to “contact Russia on other issues, including working together to fight ISIS?” Needless to say, that’s a huge difference.**

8 years? Try 20
And then there’s the possibility that Mueller is only collecting whatever scalps he can, in order to make himself look just a little better when the house of Clinton cards come tumbling down around him.
The FBI did investigate the leaks to the media about the Bubba/Loretta Lynch tarmac collusion, meaning the FBI was obviously aware.
Mueller is the one who needs to be investigated. Millions of dollars, predatory prosecutorial tactics, then nail a guy for “lying” to them?
That man has enough skeletons in his closet to build his own political graveyard; probably soon. What biased incompetence.
Meanwhile, Hillary probably lied 4380 times to the public, the State Dept, the FBI, and likely anyone else she talked to.
Her FBI “interview” with the no-bill letter already written?
No transcripts, no questioning under oath, just a nice cup of coffee on a Saturday afternoon, without no forget me not’s until later eh?
Trump must purge every political appointment masquerading as a public servant. Let the banshees howl, let them turn even more inward.
Take some prisoners, certainly inflict casualties, then go to the people in 2018 and 2020.
Enough with progressive auto projection. Tweet them into oblivion Donald; show them for the fascist political power mongers they really are.
ABC’s Brian Ross Issues On-Air ‘Clarification’ to Correct Report ‘Candidate’ Trump ‘Ordered Him’ to Contact Russians
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/12/01/abcs-brian-ross-issues-air-clarification-correct-report-candidate-trump-ordered-contact-russians/
“Friday on ABC’s “World News Tonight,” network investigative reporter Brian Ross backtracked on his initial report claiming former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had promised “full cooperation” with special counsel Robert Mueller and was prepared to testify that “candidate” Donald Trump “directed him to make contact with the Russians.”
I think Ross is angling for that very first annual ‘Fake News Award’ Trump teased about.
Ha, just realized that you beat me to it.
I think we are overdue for another ‘Maddow Moment’ from these desperate hacks.
To hear the Canadian media you would think this was the end of the Trump dynasty and all thoughts associated with it. Left me scratching my head. They wouldn’t even report the details.
Exactly. Nothing but Canadian Press fake news masquerading as news.

“What is illegal, however, is obstruction of justice. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified that on 14 February – the day after Mr Flynn was sacked – Mr Trump urged the director to back off his investigation into Mr Flynn during a private Oval Office meeting.
If the president knew that the ongoing law-enforcement inquiry would discover Mr Flynn had been acting under orders – either by the president or a member of his transition team – that could be the kind of motive that would help support an obstruction of justice charge.”

Lock him up.
“Lying to the FBI” is what they charge with when they have nothing and are grasping st straws. Flynn takes a plea deal and because he admits “guilt”, he can now be given a Presidential Pardon and Crueller is left with……what?
The leftards big nothing burger turned out to be meatless. It is to laugh.
the FBI says there is no evidence of collusion, just what is Mueller investigating???
except thats not what happened, dizzzzzzy.
What Trump suggested was noturging or otherwise. Its a far leap to declare that obstruction of justice. There is no support or it, and, with House and Congress GOP, any nutty talk of impeachment will die a quick death.
