Brankruptcy & public shaming...he's been punished enough for supporting a nonestablishment candidate
I grant you, he still thought we had a free country, where people weren't threatened with jail for their political views. But, he was foolish to think that.

We have had this discussion. Unless you are REALLY innocent don’t talk to them and don’t talk to
them without counsel.
Few of the people they want to talk to fit in that catagory.

Misplaced post. I am sure you meant this for the innocent
Ross Perot campaign in 90’s. Not the guy lying about Russian sanctions and getting paid off by Putin. I heard Benedict Arnold was an exemplary officer throughout his career until that thing he did at the end.

What's it like to always be right?
You guys always have enough evidence against the right. But there is never any evidence against your side. That must be nice.

Wow, talk about a surprise. You are soooo objective. And you read redacted language like a pro.

Thread Level: 4
I do see a lot of redacted docs... and it is usually more than apparent what they are hiding
In this case, it's a matter of covering up classified and/or sensitive material unrelated to anything to do with any Russians

"covering up classified and/or sensitive material unrelated to anything to do with Russia"
What would that classified info be related to, then? UFOs? Faked moon landings?

Now Curly reads redactions better, but the phrase “first hand knowledge” might cause me some concern
if I were Orange.
Thread Level: 5
You are a wonder being able to sniff that out.
There is no way a mere mortal can tell from that redaction what has been left out or why.
Unlike the rest of us barely conscious beings, your elevated sense of being able to tell what’s redacted is amazing.
I’m sure your clients are impressed.

I can't tell based on the public filing
The Memo references an addendum, which isn't included in the link. The addendum is public, except that it is heavily redacted. The addendum supposedly details Flynn's cooperation, but since we don't know what it says, we can't draw any conclusions one way or another.
Except that isn't entirely true. We know that Mueller's team will declare plea deals void if the defendant doesn't cooperate (see Manafort, Paul). Flynn got a very favorable recommendation. He was looking at potentially five years for lying to thee FBI, and the government essentially told the judge it doesn't care if he gets -0- prison time because of his cooperation. So, whatever he cooperated on, the government is satisfied.

Cheers and very happy for him if it's no prison time sentence. Flynn is American hero.

If "lying to FBI" case had gone to court, he would've won. Comey, McCabe all testified in congress
saying Flynn told truth. No witnesses' testimony is more convincing than that of FBI #1 and #2 as witness in front of jury. But his Turkish lobbying is really problematic, not just unregistered.

Flynn admitted criminal wrongdoing, relieving the Government of its burden of proof.
He did so upon advice of experienced counsel.

I include the quote marks and the attribution to Orwell, because I fear that there are readers here who wouldn't have immediately realized whom I was quoting. Everyone needs to read 1984. If you haven't read it, you are unknowingly cooperating with the destruction of freedom. Conor?...he is knowingly cooperating. He has a utopia waiting for us, if only we stop resisting.

hope our kids have a country in 25-50 years. Not sure with Trumpo
Dividing the country, changing foreign policy for his own enrichment, pissing off allies, embracing Putin and the Crown Murderer over our own Intelligence agencies, lying about a tariff deal and crashing the market, showing complete disregard for our values, and high crimes and misdemeanors
Other than that no big deal

You don't think the Dems and GOP were doing a pretty good job of ending our country before Trump?
I think they were. At best, Trump has prolonged the life of the country another 10 years. At worst, he shortened it 10 years. Ho hum.

There are two options here
1) Trump knew what his people were doing and is lying about it
Or
2) The Trump assistants were in constant contact with the Kremlin on their own, and kept their boss in the dark. All of them went rogue.
#2 seems ridiculous to everyone except the cultists.
