Retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn has promised “full cooperation” in the special counsel’s Russia investigation and, according to a confidant, is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians,

Oh, my poor factually challenged little Finny. Flynn has reportedly copped a plea to a process crime - making a false statement to the FBI. That's way, way, way far away from a guilty plea for "messing around with the Russian"...whatever that means. Your hope and prayers that Mueller will find the silver bullet that will cause the Trump administration to crumble and lead to multiple perp walks - possibly including Trump - has not yet been answered.

Sorry to burst your little bubble.

Yeah, because a National Security Adviser is never supposed to talk to any foreign leaders, especially if they're Russian.

Um, this would have been during the campaign, simpleton.

Trump voters care about as much about this as Hillary voters care about the Clinton Global Slush Fund and the tarmac meeting.

The stunning turn comes as Flynn, who is cooperating with investigators in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI about his back-channel negotiations with the Russian ambassador – talks that occurred before Trump took office. The Special Counsel made the plea agreement public Friday morning.

A close confidant told ABC News that Flynn felt abandoned by Trump in recent weeks, and told friends about the decision to make the plea deal within the last 24 hours as he grew increasingly concerned about crippling legal costs he would face if he continued to contest the charges.

“It has been extraordinarily painful to endure these many months of false accusations of ‘treason’ and other outrageous acts,” Flynn said in a statement. “Such false accusations are contrary to everything I have ever done and stood for. But I recognize that the actions I acknowledged in court today were wrong, and, through my faith in God, I am working to set things right.”

Aside from their flagrant gullibility, this has nothing to do with what Trump voters think, whether they do, or whether they can or will think rationally.

Uh, no it wasn't dickless. From your own ABC news post:

Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI about the nature of his conversations with then-Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. Those conversations led Russian officials to temper their response to increased U.S. sanctions, according to the charging documents.

In fact, the "sanctions" against the Russians referenced above were announced by the Obama administration at the end of December 2016. If you consult the calendar, you might notice that December 2016 was the month following the November 2016 election.

You apparently can't read, or fail to understand, what you post as support for your own comments. Yet you refer to folks who do understand as "simpletons" and "idiots." Maybe you should start your self-education by looking up the word "irony".
