Actually, it looks like Flynn got a free pass for Conspiracy against the United States at the least.

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.
You mean about when he lied to the Feebs about trying to undermine sanctions imposed by the duly
elected prez?
I hope it is clear to anyone not a Democrat: Don't talk to the feds.
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.
Wrong snowflake. I disagree and object to plenty on the left. But
Nothing compares to Trumpo and what the GOP has become.
Safe to say you don't understand what the term snowflake means.
I'm not offended by any of this. I'm merely observing reality and commenting on it.
Wow, talk about a surprise. You are soooo objective. And you read redacted language like a pro.
(no message)
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?
More likely covering up the means and methods of our federal agencies

If you're having trouble comprehending, try page 3, paragraph B of the sentencing addendum.
Now Curly reads redactions better, but the phrase “first hand knowledge” might cause me some concern
if I were Orange.
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.

Not really interesting as that wasn’t his point. What was is that Israel is in Jared’s portfolio.
He wouldn’t have been talking to the ambassador without Jared knowing about it.

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.

Yes. shame on you twice. Your insulting a decorated general is worse than Trump's on McCain. This
is why crocodile tears from you and Frank on McCain's death are laughable.
He is a traitor. Try to get that through your head.

What crime did he commit to merit having his family threatened and his life destroyed?

Reader's choice: Conspiracy, espionage or treason. Plus the lies of course.

Called trying to cover up crimes by others and by him.
But yeah, no bigie.
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.
Apparently he didn’t think so. And they gave the tape of the conversation in question .
(no message)
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.
Unfortunately not many understand how true your post is

Page 5 of the Addendum reveals that...
Flynn provided documents and communications very early. Also states his information was first hand which means he was in the room...oh my! Diaper Donald may need triple absorbent Depends or possibly a giant cork stuck up his fatter than typical ass for the next few weeks.

Re: And...is this where you say 18 months and still no conspiracy?
The willfully blind following the blatant lying so called President and his lying cabinet
I was just trying to get him to comment on his link. Looks like he did so in response to Chris.
And, of course, conspiracy theories never die. These theories have another 50 years in them.
Flynn sat for 19 interviews with the Special Counsel. 19!
Conspiracy theory alright.
I'm willing to wait for the evidence, unlike a lot of people.

Let us see how it plays out.
No one should pre-judge this case without knowing what Mueller knows.
Someday we will find it all out. Until then, we must rely on the tea leaves.
Until then, we can all get excited with our own assumptions.
(no message)
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.
Trumpo is an accelerant for chaos and destruction. The only
Way he can stand out. Sure we were on a slow burn but that is what happens to empires. Only schmucks embraced Nero.
Maybe. Michael Moore pointed out that Trump is the biggest F you in history.

Michael Moore is a chump. The biggest difference between him and Trumpo
Is that Trumpo wears poor fitting suits with long ties. And maybe the Orange spray paint.

Playing his cards close to the vest.
But obviously he helped them substantially which is likely not good news for you know who.
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.
Donny jr couldn’t even write his own lying response to meeting with
The Russian spies. Daddy had to write his paper for him. Very sad.
