I'll take the understanding of a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York over yours any day.


"Understand: If Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador had evinced the existence of a quid pro quo collusion arrangement — that the Trump administration would ease or eliminate sanctions on Russia as a payback for Russia’s cyber-espionage against the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic party — it would have been completely appropriate, even urgently necessary, for the Obama Justice Department to investigate Flynn. But if that had happened, Mueller would not be permitting Flynn to settle the case with a single count of lying to FBI agents. Instead, we would be looking at a major conspiracy indictment, and Flynn would be made to plead to far more serious offenses if he wanted a deal — cooperation in exchange for sentencing leniency."
-Andrew C. McCarthy III

No legal basis for said claim. Only says it was "appropriate."

There is no requirement legal or otherwise for what you or he claims. Meanwhile, there are several reports of him testifying for collusion in Trump campaign.

Asha Rangappa, associate dean at Yale Law School.:

As for Trump, his knowledge of Flynn’s contacts with Russia (and other potentially illegal acts to which Flynn did not plead guilty) could not only tie him to the collusion case taking clearer shape, but also to the obstruction of justice case against the president specifically. After all, Trump’s main goal, starting with his initial meetings with former FBI Director James Comey, was to have the case against Flynn dropped. If Trump was knowingly trying to keep the FBI from discovering Flynn’s activities, that would seal the deal for Mueller’s obstruction case. For both collusion and obstruction, Flynn holds the key to who knew what when, and Mueller now has his cooperation.

Orin Kerr, professor of law, The George Washington University

Flynn’s plea brings the investigation much closer to the question of cooperation between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. We now know that there was a working relationship between the Trump transition and the Russian government in December 2016, just a month after the election. That raises the question: When did that working relationship start? And what was the scope of their cooperation? The person who knows that best may be Michael Flynn. And he’s now cooperating with the special counsel. That’s big.

Laurie Levenson, professor at Loyola Law School

Undoubtedly, Flynn’s plea is not the end of the road for this investigation. Rather, it is an opportunity to use Flynn’s status as an insider to explore who else close to the president participated in conversations with the Russians and the motivations for those conversations. Was there a deal to ease sanctions in exchange for Russians helping Trump get elected? Have others lied about their contacts (or lack of contacts) with foreign officials? We honestly don’t know how far this will go. However, given the lies and cover-up, there is still a lot of motivation for Mueller and his team to aggressively pursue all leads.

Richard Painter, professor of law at the University of Minnesota and former chief White House ethics lawyer under George W. Bush

Prosecutors don’t generally offer plea deals as generous as this one unless the defendant offers valuable information implicating someone higher up in the conspiracy than the defendant. Given that Flynn was very high up in the Trump campaign and in the White House, that means his testimony is likely to implicate someone of great importance. Mueller’s objective is to get that testimony in the record, and finish getting testimony from other witnesses, so that other indictments can be filed.

Alex Whiting, professor at Harvard Law School focusing on domestic and international criminal prosecution issues, and a former federal prosecutor

First, Flynn admits that when he spoke with Russian Ambassador Kislyak in December 2016, in violation of the Logan Act, about sanctions imposed on Russia and a vote concerning Israeli settlements, he did so under the direction of senior Trump transition team officials. It is difficult to believe that both Trump and Pence were unaware of Flynn’s interventions with the Russians. Second, it seems that Flynn got a very good deal today, indicating that he is offering extremely important information as part of his cooperation.
Of course, if Flynn fails to fulfill his end of the bargain and does not provide full cooperation, Mueller can tear up the agreement and charge him with all available crimes. But the fact that Mueller agreed to just one charge with a low penalty indicates that Flynn has a lot to offer.

David Sklansky, professor at Stanford Law School

This is a major development. Flynn has now admitted that he had direct conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about American sanctions, and about an important United Nations vote, in the closing weeks of the Obama administration, and that he then lied about those conversations when he was interviewed by the FBI. Moreover, the statement of facts that Mueller’s office filed in court in support of Flynn’s guilty plea makes clear that Flynn wasn’t flying solo: He kept other senior members of Trump transition team in the loop about his conversations with Kislyak, and some of those contacts were actually directed by someone the pleading describes as a “very senior member” of the Trump transition team.

Rent

you were posting in the thread and I responded. What you quoted was talking about your posts, dumbass.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

If Mueller were prepared to settle the Flynn matter on the basis of single-count plea to a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, he was almost certainly prepared to charge a great deal more. Moreover, we can infer from the fact that Flynn accepted the plea deal that he and his counsel were concerned about the degree of jeopardy, both for Flynn and for his son, related to other charges. The deal, in other words, reflects the strength of Mueller’s hand against Flynn.

It reflects something else too: that Flynn is prepared to give Mueller substantial assistance in his investigation and that Mueller wants the assistance Flynn can provide. We are not going to speculate about what that assistance might be. But prosecutors do not give generous deals in major public integrity cases to big-fish defendants without good reason—and in normal circumstances, the national security adviser to the president is a very big fish for a prosecutor. The good reason in this case necessarily involves the testimony Flynn has proffered to the special counsel’s staff. The information in that proffer is not in any of the documents released Friday, and it may not even be related to the information in those documents. Prosecutors tend to trade up. That is, for Mueller to give Flynn a deal of this sort, the prosecutor must believe he is building a case against a bigger fish still.

There’s another peculiar nuance: Section 3 of the plea agreement leaves Flynn unprotected against certain future prosecutions. The section is titled “Additional Charges” and states in its entirety that “In consideration of your client’s guilty plea to the above offense, your client will not be further prosecuted criminally by this Office for the conduct set forth in the attached Statement of the Offense” (emphasis ours). The office, in other words, seems to be reserving the right to prosecute Flynn for conduct not set forth in that document, which is to say all of the other conduct on which he might be vulnerable. It is hard to know what to make of this language. It could mean nothing at all. It could mean that the threat of further prosecution is being held over Flynn’s head if he does not hold up his end of the bargain. It could mean that another plea agreement covering other matters is coming.

........

The most important revelation here is that contrary to Cobb’s statement Friday morning, Flynn is saying clearly that he was not a rogue actor but was operating at the behest of the presidential transition team. He states that a “very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team,” a “senior official of the Presidential Transition Team” and “senior members of the Presidential Transition Team” were involved in directing his actions. The stipulated facts also make clear that Flynn reported back to the transition on his conversations with Kislyak.

Second, take a moment to remember the context in which Flynn’s underlying conduct took place: He and apparently the Trump transition team were working to undermine U.S. foreign policy goals endorsed by both parties. In December 2016, President Obama authorized sanctions against Russia in response to cyber-enabled election interference. He did so with broad bipartisan support to deter such activity in the future against the U.S. and its allies. The shared bipartisan—even nonpartisan—goal was to protect foundational elements of democracy and legitimacy. To the extent that there was mainstream criticism of the action, it was for being too weak, not for being too aggressive with respect to Russia.

James Clapper Destroys Trump’s New Blame Obama Excuse For Mike Flynn’s Russia CrimesThe White House came up with a new blame Obama excuse by telling CNN,

“None of the conversations were improper and were authorized by the Obama administration.”

Clapper said,

“That’s absurd.

That’s absolutely absurd.

There was great concern at the time, not just with this particular contact, but with the violation of the principle that historically been followed of one president,

one administration at a time, and

that gave rise to because of all these contacts that Mike was having and others in the transition with the Russians and other foreign entities is what is this,

what is this all about?

So to say that we blessed it, or acquiesced it is a stretch.”

McFarland went on to serve in the Trump White House and has been nominated to be the U.S. ambassador to Singapore.

CNN also reported she met with investigators for special counsel Robert Mueller

Pence Asks Jesus to Rapture Him Up Before Mueller Can Indict Him

WASHINGTON — Vice-President Mike Pence has requested that Jesus Christ rapture him up before the special counsel Robert Mueller can indict him, a source close to Pence confirmed on Friday.

Shortly after the former national-security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I.,

Pence contacted Jesus to discuss the early rapture proposal, the source said.

The source characterized

Pence’s request to be raptured up as “urgent”

but did not indicate whether the Vice-President asked Jesus to rapture up any other senior Administration officials.

“Some of these people will have to be left behind, for obvious reasons,” the source said. “Jared, for example.”

After the news of Pence’s conversation with Jesus leaked to the press, the Vice-President released an official statement, intended to tamp down speculation about his rapture request.

“I had a good conversation with Jesus Christ earlier in the day,” the statement read.

“We touched on the timetable of my rapturing-up, along with a broad range of other issues.

That is all I have to say at the present time.”

Ross said on ABC World News Tonight that incoming President Trump, not candidate Trump, instructed Flynn to speak to the Russians, a chasm between the original report that the Republican nominee made the request.

Ross also clarified the reason why Flynn -- the incoming National Security Advisor -- was told to speak to the Russian Federation whereas before he left it open-ended that Trump wanted the retired general to "make contact" with the Russians.


Ross also revealed Flynn made the decision to plead guilty to making false statements to the government because of financial burdens that have forced him to put his house up for sale. ”

Ross also clarified the reason why Flynn -- the incoming National Security Advisor -- was told to speak to the Russian Federation whereas before he left it open-ended that Trump wanted the retired general to "make contact" with the Russians.


Ross also revealed Flynn made the decision to plead guilty to making false statements to the government because of financial burdens that have forced him to put his house up for sale. ”

What does Michael Flynn’s plea deal mean for Trump? Here are 4 big questions.


1. What does Flynn even know?

the most significant thing about it is that it signals Flynn is cooperating. And it's likely his cooperation is far-reaching.

2. Why did Flynn lie?

Why did Flynn feel the need to misrepresent his conversations with the Russian ambassador?

were Flynn's lies merely the latest in a long volume of those close to Trump seeming to cover up the existence and substance of their contacts with Russia?

3. Who else, besides Jared Kushner, directed Flynn to talk to Russia?

Flynn contacted the Russian ambassador with the knowledge and at the direction of plenty of influential people.


. . . Court records and people familiar with the contacts indicated [Flynn] was acting in consultation with senior Trump transition officials, including President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in his dealings with the diplomat.Flynn’s plea revealed that he was in touch with senior Trump transition officials before and after his communications with the ambassador.



4. Why did Flynn direct Russia not to respond to U.S. sanctions?


on Dec. 29, Flynn called the ambassador to ask Russia not to escalate an ongoing feud over sanctions imposed by the Obama administration (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-administration-announces-measures-to-punish-russia-for-2016-election-interference/2016/12/29/311db9d6-cdde-11e6-a87f-b917067331bb_story.html?utm_term=.c60b3dc98008), court records say. The ambassador later called back and said Russia had chosen not to retaliate,

did he indicate that the Trump administration might seek to ease those sanctions when it took over less than a month later?

Rachel Maddow: Flynn plea deal points the finger directly at Mike Pence involvement

Noting that Pence oversaw the Trump transition team, Maddow pointed that he likely was one of those who was aware that Flynn spoke withe the Russians about easing sanctions.

“Vice President Pence insisted publicly more than once that Mike Flynn never talked about sanctions with the Russians.

That was always a false statement,” Maddow began.

“Well, now we know that multiple members of the Trump transition team knew that was a false statement when Mike Pence said it.

So, why’d they let him say it?”

“Honestly, what we learned today also raises the question of whether or not Mike Pence knew that was a false statement when he said it,”

Trump appears to have just admitted to a serious crime on Twitter

This is a brand new version of events from the White House. And it could land the president in very hot water.

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI.

He has pled guilty to those lies.

It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful.

There was nothing to hide!

11:14 AM - Dec 2, 2017 (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/937007006526959618)


This is a brand new version of events. Until now, the White House has claimed that Trump fired Flynn just because he lied to Pence.

According to Trump’s own tweet,

he would have known Flynn had lied to the FBI

at the time Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn,

assuring him Flynn had done nothing wrong.

On Twitter, Matthew Miller, a former Department of Justice official, echoes that Trump’s new version of events indicates an effort to obstruct Comey’s investigation.

Matthew Miller (https://twitter.com/matthewamiller)
(https://twitter.com/matthewamiller)✔@matthewamiller (https://twitter.com/matthewamiller)

Oh my god,

he just admitted to obstruction of justice.

If Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to let it go,

then there is your case.

https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/937007006526959618 … (https://t.co/c6Wtd0TfzW)

11:24 AM - Dec 2, 2017 (https://twitter.com/matthewamiller/status/937009631662104578)

Flynn resigned from his post Feb. 13 and Comey testified before Senate Intelligence Committee that in a Feb. 14 meeting in the White House — just a day after Flynn had left — Trump asked him to drop the investigation.

“I hope you can let this go,” Trump said to Comey, according to Comey’s memo on the conversation.

According to that same memo, Trump specifically told Comey in that conversation that Flynn had done nothing wrong. If today’s tweet is true, he then lied to Comey to get him to drop an investigation, knowing full well Flynn had lied to the FBI.

The White House has denied Comey’s version of events, but an FBI agent’s contemporaneous notes about events or conversations are often held up as evidence in court.

Legal analyst Jeff Toobin destroys Trump lawyer’s claim that no crime was committed

“I’m not concerned about these bizarre theories,” Sekulow told Toobin. “There is no basis for saying, under the law or the facts, that any of this behavior during the campaign was criminal.”

Other experts disagree with Sekulow’s conclusion.

“Foreigners can’t contribute to federal, state, or local campaigns, and that doesn’t just cover cash contributions,”

Kathleen Clark, a professor at the law school of Washington University in St. Louis, explained.

“According to the statute, if a campaign solicits a foreigner to give a ‘thing of value’ to a political campaign, that would be illegal as well.”

The hacking of the DNC could also provide Trump associates with legal exposure under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

“If there is an agreement to commit hacking,

it doesn’t matter if the people in the Trump campaign didn’t do the actual hacking—

it just matters that they knew someone else would do it.

There just needs to be an agreement that one or more will do it,”

Orin Kerr, a professor at George Washington University Law School and computer law expert noted.

“They just need to have encouraged the hacking.”

A recent Supreme Court decision, Rosemond v. United States, expanded the definition of aiding and abetting to include assistance after the crime has been committed.

Toobin suggests that obstruction of justice will be easier for special counsel Robert Mueller to prove.

“Unlike ‘collusion,’ the crime of obstruction of justice is well established and easy to understand,”

Toobin noted.

“The issue is at the heart of Mueller’s mandate because a possible obstruction of justice—the President’s decision to fire James Comey—gave rise to the creation of the special-counsel position in the first place.

The crucial issue in the Comey firing is whether the President had a corrupt motive for the dismissal.”

“Trump’s financial affairs, especially with regard to Russia, remain opaque, but it’s possible to imagine how they might give rise to an impeachable offense.

A straight payoff to Trump—cash in return for, say, a relaxation of the sanctions imposed by President Obama on the Putin regime—would certainly be impeachable even if it were not technically a crime under American law.

Trump’s known business dealings suggest the possibility of a quid pro quo with Russian interests,”

“In 2015, for example, Trump signed a ‘letter of intent’ to build a tower in Moscow. Felix Sater, a Russian associate of Trump’s, wrote of the project, in an e-mail to Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen,

‘Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. . . . I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.’

That deal never came to fruition, but the intent expressed on both sides is deeply troubling.”

“They just need to have encouraged the hacking.” :lol

“I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”

the Republican nominee said at a news conference in Florida.

“I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Robert Mueller’s special counsel operation seems more interested in the alleged foreign ties of the Trump Team, rather than the corrupt activities of Hillary Clinton’s associates.

White House now blames Trump attorney John Dowd for bonkers ‘I had to fire General Flynn’ tweet

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/John-Dowd.jpg

In what could appear to be an effort to shield President Donald Trump from the legal exposure

he may have incurred by tweeting about (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/former-ethics-chief-trumps-saturday-morning-flynn-tweet-should-be-enough-to-end-his-presidency/) accusations against disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn,

the White House is now claiming that attorney John Dowd authored the

ill-advised :lol :lol

social media message.

The Washington Post said (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/12/02/trumps-first-tweet-about-michael-flynns-guilty-plea-could-be-a-problem-for-him/?utm_term=.322cc62bde66) in an update added to their story about the Twitter message —

which insisted that any actions undertaken by Flynn during the presidential transition were “lawful” —

that Trump’s personal attorney Dowd posted in the first person on the president’s Twitter account.

“UPDATE: The Post is now reporting that the tweet was authored by Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, according to two people familiar with the situation,” said a note added some time after the article was published at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

“The fact that Dowd authored the tweet could limit its salience to the investigation, but the White House still hasn’t publicly corrected anything.”

Legal experts were aghast (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/oh-my-god-he-just-admitted-to-obstruction-legal-experts-aghast-at-trumps-reckless-flynn-tweet/) on Saturday when the message was posted, questioning whether Trump was intentionally trying to get himself charged with obstruction of justice.

However, as some observers noted,

Bombshell email reveals NRA link to attempted ‘back-channel meeting’ between Trump and Putin during campaign

A conservative operative reportedly worked to set up a “back-channel meeting” between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign — and he planned to use a National Rifle Association convention to do it.

The New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/03/us/politics/trump-putin-russia-nra-campaign.html) on Sunday that it had obtained May 2016 email correspondence titled “Kremlin Connection” that was exchanged between conservative operative Paul Erickson and Trump campaign adviser Rick Dearborn.

According to the Times:

In it, the N.R.A. member said he wanted the advice of Mr. Dearborn and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, then a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and Mr. Dearborn’s longtime boss, about how to proceed in connecting the two leaders.

Russia, he wrote, was “quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S.” and would attempt to use the N.R.A.’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., to make “‘first contact.’”

The email, which was among a trove of campaign-related documents turned over to investigators on Capitol Hill, was described in detail to The New York Times.


In the email, NRA member Paul Erickson said that he wanted to get the advice of then-campaign adviser Jeff Sessions about a meeting between Trump and Putin.

“Putin is deadly serious about building a good relationship with Mr. Trump,”

NRA member Paul Erickson wrote in the email.

“He wants to extend an invitation to Mr. Trump to visit him in the Kremlin before the election.

Let’s talk through what has transpired and Senator Sessions’s :lol advice on how to proceed.”

The email was one of several overtures Russians made to the Trump campaign even before the GOP candidate had secured the nomination.

Jesus Trump has not stopped tweeting about the FBI since yesterday and is melting down gloriously this morning.

Be careful now supposedly some othe me guy tweeted that tweet about Flynn not Trump. When will Trumptards get tanks dude is a habitual liar I wonder?

[baseline bum]

Damn, I want some of that.

I think the odds are pretty decent he does in 2019 since the Democrats are slightly favored to take the house. If the Democrats take the house I can't see any way they don't impeach. Of course he'll never be convicted.

[pgardn]

:lmao who the fuck is stupid enough to discuss that in an email

Actually she is regurgitating what some of you guys believe.

Interefernce = Collusion

This is where the Trump inability to let things go has again got him in trouble. So far the facts show interference as much more likely than collusion. For God's sake the Russians have basically stuck it in Obama's face as a parting shot, "we can do this, what are you going to do?" This lady knows this and she knows Trump. And to the Russians credit, they thought they might get Trump to deny the interference by doing what almost every US president has done since Putin has been in power, try to start out a new relationship (even though the Russians has basically admitted to interfering) The collusion idea is also very pleasing in some ways to the Russians.

So Trump has gone further than other US presidents, except he was not allowed. He was forced to sign a sanctions and threw some diplomats out. Then in another naive, juvenile way he had his administration reason with the Russians to not respond.



The bottom line is many "libtards, repugs, and Russians" don't want the US "policing the world"

This nebulous policing term extends to leaving Russia alone cause they really are not a problem. News flash, they are. They firmly believe strongmen and an abiding rich political class are much easier to deal with than democracy. So do we to some extent. The Russians want chaos outside of their own country, in specific locations at present. That way they can recreate a semblance of the old Soviet Union. This is really all they can hope for; A prideful outcome. because economically they, and their system, suck.

Which leads ads in to this aside:

Meanwhile "libtards and Trump's repulsive repug base" also have a shared goal economically. (Now taxes...)

An Economic break for lower to mid range wage earners. Meanwhile, "Oh look, the stock Market!" I get even more money in dividends most likely and at the same time have a paper wealth more than I ever dreamed of as a teenager. For doing nothing more than reinvesting? Really, really tough work on that end. White boy gets good education, is in the right field knowing the right people at the perfect time, works hard (but not in a backbreaking ditch) and can (but no desire, the opposite) retire way, way early? I cannot possibly give back in a monetary way what this country has allowed ME. And me, is the key.

The American Dream... Sure thing.

Drop it because my family and a bunch of associates along with Trump lying (so what's new ? it maybe criminal now)

Drop it because we made plans with the Russians to fix the election...? No. Zero. Zilch. Still nada.

Well we got Flynn and his son possibly getting to keep a pile of money. And the fact Flynn lied for Trump and has been totally disgraced for lying, if this even matters to him.

Yet another FEDERAL lie

Jared Kushner failed to disclose West Bank funding ties

Jared Kushner failed to disclose his role as a co-director of the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 to 2015, a time when the group funded an Israeli settlement considered to be illegal under international law (https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2017/50-years-illegal-settlements/index.html),

The latest development follows reports (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michael-flynn-charged-with-making-false-statement-to-the-fbi/2017/12/01/e03a6c48-d6a2-11e7-9461-ba77d604373d_story.html?utm_term=.61bdee460d28&wpisrc=al_news__alert-politics--alert-national&wpmk=1) on Friday indicating the White House senior adviser attempted to sway a United Nations Security Council vote against an anti-settlement resolution passed just before Donald Trump took office

The first son-in-law has repeatedly amended his financial records since his initial filing in March, along with three separate revisions to his security clearance application.

Despite correcting his financial history on multiple occasions,

he has yet to include his role as co-director to the family foundation.

I’m just wondering, from the State Department’s point of view, is this something that’s of concern at all? Or – I’ll just leave it there and then follow up.

MR TONER: Again, not necessarily – I’ve seen the reports. I don’t think they’ve been confirmed or corroborated yet. But that’s – as he’s part of the transition team, that’s really for them to speak to in how they are engaging. I mean --

QUESTION: Right, but --

MR TONER: -- the president-elect is also engaged on his own with many world leaders.

QUESTION: Right.

MR TONER: So I don’t want to speculate and I don’t want to --

MR TONER: No.

QUESTION: -- no matter what country they’re from?

MR TONER: No.
