What's good for the goose is good for the gander, so we'll go from "lock her up - to lock him up!: Michael Flynn Pleads Guilty to Lying to the F.B.I. and Will Cooperate With Russia Inquiry https://nyti.ms/2kdYe29 "President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December, becoming the first senior White House official to pledge cooperation in the special counsel’s wide-ranging inquiry of election meddling. Mr. Flynn’s pre-inauguration discussions with Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, were part of a coordinated effort by aides running Mr. Trump’s transition into the White House to create foreign policy before they were in power, documents released as part of Mr. Flynn’s plea agreement show. Their efforts undermined the existing policy of President Barack Obama and flouted a warning from a senior Obama administration official to stop meddling in foreign affairs until after the inauguration." Michael Flynn’s Guilty Plea: 10 Key Takeaways https://nyti.ms/2kfMQ5L "Michael Flynn’s plea on Friday to a single count of lying to the F.B.I. is a seismic event in the special counsel investigation. For starters, it portends the likelihood of impeachable charges being brought against the president of the United States. Mr. Flynn, a former national security adviser, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation. His testimony could bring into the light a scandal of historic proportions in which the not-yet-installed Trump administration, including Donald Trump personally, sought to subvert American foreign policy before taking office. The repercussions of the plea will be months in the making, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that the events to which Mr. Flynn has agreed to testify will take their place in the history books alongside the Watergate and Iran-contra scandals." Michael Flynn pleads guilty to lying to FBI in Mueller probe; https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/michael-flynn-pleads-guilty-lying-fbi-mueller-probe-n825551 "Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday in federal court to a charge of making false statements to the FBI about his communications with Russia. Flynn had contacted the Russians at the urging of two top transition officials, according to a court document. Three people familiar with the matter say one of the officials referenced in the document is Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, and two people familiar with the matter say the other is K.T. McFarland, who served as deputy national security adviser from January to May. Flynn is the first senior White House official to be charged in the special counsel’s investigation into Moscow’s meddling into the 2016 presidential election, and the first to officially agree to cooperate. A source close to the White House told NBC News that the Trump administration was "blindsided" by the news of Flynn's plea." |

Flynn plea brings Mueller closer to the White House; http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/362861-flynn-plea-brings-mueller-closer-to-the-white-house "The guilty plea from former national security advisor Michael Flynn has brought special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation onto the front lawn of the White House. Flynn, who on Friday pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about the nature of a series of calls with the Russian ambassador, is the first person successfully prosecuted by Mueller who held a formal position in the Trump administration. Flynn is now cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation, which is examining potential ties between the campaign and Moscow during the 2016 campaign, as part of his plea deal."

The New York Times is in possession of emails from the Trump transition team that absolutely dispute the White House's claims that Flynn acted independently on Russia communications!! |

Trump will pardon him. He averted WW3 with Russian while negotiating the defeat of ISIS in Syria after all.

Meanwhile, the tax plan that just got passed killed Obamacare... but please, Leftists, please keep obsessing over Russia conspiracy theories. Maybe if you are really lucky you will take down Kushner and he will be replaced by Steve Bannon. That would just be terrible. Meanwhile, the wall will be built and the river of free government handouts to your voter base will dry up. |

Comey back in the spotlight after Flynn makes a deal; http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/363011-comey-back-in-the-spotlight-after-flynn-makes-a-deal "Former FBI Director James Comey is back in the spotlight of the Russia investigation now that former national security advisor Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the bureau. Lawmakers in Sunday show interviews across the networks were re-evaluating Comey's June Senate testimony accusing President Trump of asking him to drop the investigation into Flynn, with several lawmakers indicating Comey might be able to answer additional questions. Flynn, one of Trump’s former top aides and someone Comey investigated closely during his time leading the Russia investigation, is now cooperating with Bob Mueller’s special counsel probe." |

Emails show Trump Tower meeting follow-up @CNNPolitics http://cnn.it/2BIlB7e "The British publicist who arranged the June 2016 meeting with Russians and Donald Trump Jr. sent multiple emails to a Russian participant and a member of Donald Trump's inner circle later that summer, multiple sources told CNN, the first indication there was any follow-up after the meeting. The emails raise new questions for congressional investigators about what was discussed at Trump Tower. Trump Jr. has for months contended that after being promised he would get dirt on Hillary Clinton, the brief meeting focused almost exclusively on the issue of Russian adoptions, saying there was no discussion with the participants after that session." |

Trump Jr. was offered hacked documents via email, CNN reports; https://twitter.com/i/moments/939149135751630851 "The CNN report says an email shows that Donald Trump Jr. and others were offered access to hacked WikiLeaks documents in 2016. The report was later corrected to reflect that the documents were publicly available at the time the email was sent." |

What the President Knew and When He Knew It http://bit.ly/2klEh9u "Let’s put aside the serious constitutional (and practical) issue of whether a president may be prosecuted in a judicial proceeding for obstruction. The question of whether Trump obstructed the investigation does not rise or fall on whether Trump knew that Flynn had committed a crime (in theory, one could impede an investigation to prevent the FBI from finding out whether there was a crime). Nevertheless, it is obviously a more serious matter for a president to urge the dropping of a case against a friend known to have committed a crime rather than merely suspected of having done so." |
