Michael Flynn Has Been Charged With Lying To The FBI

[Speaker to Animals]

It amuses me how they state that Russia interfered with the election as a matter of fact, even though they have no proof, and the purpose of the investigation itself was to determine if it even happened. You can well see here that this investigation is a sham. They start with the conclusion and are only looking for anything to prove it (and obviously failing).

This is pathetic.

Both lies pertain to statements made about after the election that are totally irrelevant to any type of collusion??

Sounds like he did us a solid by trying to maintain relations with Russia.

Yep, they are going to give him the Martha Stewart treatment. While the other side was able to peddle away 20% of our Uranium for Millions to the Clinton Foundation................. what a fucking joke.

Remember this when the final charges are laid bare...cause what they are gonna come after Trump on appears to be working with a foreign government (Logan Act) during a transitional period.

POLITICAL TRANSITION INITIATIVES

In support of US foreign policy, the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) seizes emerging windows of opportunity in the political landscape to promote stability, peace, and democracy by catalyzing local initiatives through adaptive and agile programming. OTI has laid the foundation for long-term development in over 60 engagements in conflict-prone countries by promoting reconciliation, jumpstarting local economies, supporting emerging independent media, and fostering peace and democracy through innovative programming.

In the wake of that election victory, Kushner was instructed by his father-in-law to be the main contact point between the Trump transition team and foreign government officials. Kushner says in his statement that between election day and the inauguration on 20 January 2017, “I recall having over 50 contacts with people from over 15 countries”.

Asked in February if anyone on his campaign had contacts with Russia during the election, Trump first said, "General Flynn was obviously dealing. So that's one person." Asked if that contact happened during the election, Trump responded, "no, nobody that I know of." He went on to say, "I have nothing to do with Russia. To the best of my knowledge no person that I deal with does."

Amid the controversy surrounding White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s alleged conversations with Russia, it may be instrumental to recall that representatives for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign were accused of meeting with Hamas and Iran.
Depending on what took place, the alleged contacts with Iran may have violated the Logan Act, which bars citizens from negotiating with foreign governments in dispute with the United States. It may be questionable whether Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, legally qualifies as a foreign government.

What Happened in 1980??

Persistent but unproven accusations that Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign negotiated a secret deal with Iran to prevent the release of American hostages until after the election are being revived this week with fresh accounts of meetings between campaign officials and an Iranian cleric.

One of the accounts is provided by Gary Sick, a Middle East specialist who helped handle the Iranian hostage crisis as a member of the White House staff in the Carter Administration. Mr. Sick, in an article published Monday on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times, says he has heard what he considers to be reliable reports that a secret deal involving the hostages was begun during two meetings between William J. Casey and the Iranian cleric in a Madrid hotel in July 1980.

I have to wonder whether anyone ever explained the Logan Act to Trump before he took office. It certainly doesn’t look that way, from what I’ve seen so far.

That act doesn't apply in Turkey so Flynn is a ok.

this time, definitely this time

(ABC NEWS) 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, initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria

I remember how Flynn's lawyer far earlier wrote that "General Flynn would have a real story to tell". Seems to be close now to do that.

It amuses me how they state that Russia interfered with the election as a matter of fact, even though they have no proof

It amuses me how people here are in a parallel universe. Did you guys forget that Trump acknowledged the Russian hackings (just one part of the active measures operation)?
