Flynn Cops a Plea

The investigation is inside the White House now. With Watergate, it was "follow the money." and with the Russia investigation, it is "follow the lies."

The noose tightens - get ready for tweet storms and pardons.

This is how a plea deal works:

The witness pleads guilty to a more minor charge. The prosecutor holds more serious charges in his back pocket that can be brought out if the witness doesn’t cooperate.

So everyone is right that this charge isn’t all that big a deal. But this charge isn’t the point. The witnesses cooperation is the point.

That's what I'd be tweeting this morning. Where are the charges against Hillary for lying (multiple, multiple times)?

So far a big nothing burger.

In other words, blackmail?

Way to many... anyone with half a brain knew this was a farce from the get-go.

Have you ever considered how wrong it is to make plea deals?

who the hell wouldn't take that plea deal. you know you won't serve a minute in jail and it won't cost you hundreds of thousands in legal fees . And all you have to do is make shit up to satisfy the plea agreement

Has anyone else noticed the disappearance of Jared Kushner’s profile in the administration?

Anyone want to join me in speculating about who the “high level transition figure” that directed Flynn to meet with the Russian ambassador would be?

I love all the “this is all they got?!?” defensiveness when the first shoe falls.

The answer is no. This isn’t all they got. But good luck. I’m sure the cult will have an answer for the next set of indictments just as entertaining.

So what if someone directed Flynn to meet with the Russian ambassador? Where's the crime there, Big Blank?

Yes. They have Flynn and his son on far more serious charges and that is the leverage they will use.

It’s how they rolled up the mafia and it’s what they are using now.

I guess we’ll have to wait to find out since all they’ve announced is the plea deal so far.
