O
I'll break radio silence for this one. What the Fuck is 'something akin to treason?' I'll tell you what. It's pure McCarthyism. It's a vague innuendo that sounds terrible but actually means nothing.

Keep in mind that McCarthyism started out on the right track but ended up attempting to perform beyond the track design parameters.

And this is not about McCarthysim. This is about the head of the FBI telling Obama and Biden that they probably didn't have a case against Flynn and that what he did was probably "legit", but instead of saying, "OK", they then brainstormed other ways to "get" him. And place that conversation within the context of the political environment at the time it took place and, well, it looks indictable.

I don't care which party you are in or if you are an independent, that sort of thing is repulsive. Imagine Biden winning in November and that conversation is taking place between Trump, Pence and the head of the FBI. How do you process that?

I will add that I think this is just the beginning of an election season trickle of information that will be used to completely exhonerate Trump and his administration and bring actionable offenses by the D party into the limelight.

I'm not a republican. This is not about the republican party for me. It IS, however, about the democrats doing amazingly dishonest things and getting away with it.

Or did they...

What dishonest blather. What shall I imagine next, a basement to a pizza place that doesn't exist?

You are making up your data, then dunking it in tar. Here is reality: Flynn was dirty as hell, and the ways they sought to 'get him' were righteous.

Are we gonna play link wars with this? I've been following this story for a very long time. I've read the articles from both sides.

LA times opinion notwithstanding, let us see what Barr and Durham come up with here.

It would be great if the day of nailing high profile people on "process crimes alone" could come to an end.

And for what it's worth, your link doesn't work.

Agree with not insane.

I don't agree with any crooked politician on either side but I will say what the dems tried to pull with this 3 year investigation is complete crap. From what I understand anyone that went to jail for lying to the FBI were basically "hoodwinked". They were asked the same questions by different people in different ways about things that happened 1 to 3 years ago. I don't know anybody that can have a good enough memory to remember exactly what they said in an email or a conversation they had 6 months ago let alone 3 years.

Flynn was convicted because he lied to the FBI.

Admitted lying to the FBI.

One click search on the internet.......

""WASHINGTON — On Dec. 1, 2017, Michael Flynn walked into the federal courthouse in Washington, DC, and pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. He admitted he had lied to agents about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States after the 2016 election, according to his plea deal with then–special counsel Robert Mueller’s office.
Michael Flynn Admitted Lying To The FBI ... - BuzzFeed News""


If one does not look for information they will not find any!

And it was a plea deal. Lying to the FBI is just what he admitted to.
