BTW, y'all really want to defend Flynn? He was in deep with Erdogan and other unsavory America haters, and that's definitely not fake news either.
Yes, and we all know that everyone who has ever plead guilty, ever, is guilty. Right?
And no, this is not about defending Flynn per se, it's about what we believe is an "investigation" with one single goal in mind.......overturning an election whose outcome those doing the "investigating" thought was somehow unjust.
Try to keep up.
LOL. Keep telling yourself that and keep pretending that Manafort and Flynn and Don Junior and Roger Stone and Carter Page........ are all just wonderfully ethically legal people too.
Guys, you can go back to the posts two years ago finding where I accused all of them of being in bed with the Russians and stated that many of them appeared to be extremely shady. But Trump took them on and let them do their thing. My God, several of the openly appeared to interfere with the GOP platform on behalf of Russia. Flynn is accused of trying to trade consulting fees for a change in US policy on Turkey.
Look, if you want to know why this is still a huge issue and isn't going away, its that Trump and his team of 'advisors' simply ignored any questions of ethical problems, ignored the law, didn't care about what anyone who didn't support them was saying, refused even minimal levels of financial transparency, etc.
These investigations are ongoing for a reason.

By the way, some pundits thought it odd that Vanessa Trump, who filed for divorce from Don Jr yesterday, has hired a criminal defense lawyer. That's an odd choice, until you realize that as an ex-wife, Vanessa will NOT be able to avoid testifying against her ex-husband (and might be caught up in financial crimes with her ex-husband). You know, she didn't hire a criminal defense attorney to advise her divorce attorney, but AS her divorce attorney.
Guys, if you can't handle Manafort and Flynn facing the music.....I'm afraid you guys are going to have an epic meltdown as things move forward on this. We shall see.
