Donald Fires FBI Director who's investigating Russian Election Hacking

Flynn' conversations with the Russians don't seem like that big of a deal to me. I don't get why he lied.

What am I missing here?
word on the street is Logan act!

wikipedia
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.

To date, only two people have ever been indicted for violating the Act's provisions.[2][3] However, no person has ever been prosecuted for alleged violations of the Act.[2]{
sounds like a witchhunt excatly how it started, just stick a dog in a field. and let him hunt for blood. if he cannot find blood, he will bite someone and make him bleed.

hillary lies to the fbi - Nothing happens(also as a bonus destroying evidence)
flyn lies to fbi - he gets threatened with needing Vaseline for rest of his live


Citizen obama negotiates with foreign governments pre 2008 and post 2016 nothing happens
president elect trump negotiates with foreign governments post nov 8 2016! he will need Vaseline for rest of his live :P


so yeah! the death of a republic! everybody is supposed to be equal in the eye of the government. but Clinton, Obama ain't equal to trump and Flynn!
the only difference is the political ideology those 4 people supposed to have!

and people celebrate this. always people celebrate the death of liberty and welcome in national socialism, communism, fascism and other toxic left wing ideologies! this will lead to bad things

Probably has something to do with his history in Ukraine and Turkey. But hopefully someone's more knowledgeable on the matter, have it.
 
Lmfao, you poor oppressed soul.

LMFAO
nope not oppressed i am not a victim! everyone has the right to do as they please. as long as they do not physically harm me, or steal from me and my loved ones, and so far they have not done that, and even then i will be only opressed if i cannot fight back and defend my self, which i surely can!so they can DAMN WELL DO AS THEY PLEASE on this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just stating what I have noticed, and seen throughout history. only thing that bothers me is how history keeps repeating! funny how sometimes when i say certain right wing things i am the oppressor, and now i am the oppressed! i am not oppressing anyone, and do not feel oppressed!(ok i have to say at the moment, because as a young man i did physically harm people when i was in the wrong).

so your lmfao is severely misplaced!

If it is mine and I am free to do as I choose than it is placed exactly where I want it.
 
Sorry, that was in response to dutch, not to you. Maybe you have dutch on ignore so didn't see his post right above mine?

So this doesn't WHOLLY make me a bad person, but I can't help myself picking on the willfully ignorant. It was the only way I was gonna stop.

of course, and i can disagree. with your voice. i can have an opinion on what you say and do.
you do as you please with your "lmfao", i give my opinion on it, you can agree or disagree. but usually when i disagree i give a reason, you are free to not do that


aah the beauty of freedom of speech! the most important thing to the founders of the greatest republic in history. although i think they should have had guns as 1a! and freedom of speech as 2a.
 
ABC News is reporting that Flynn will testify against Trump himself:

https://mobile.twitter.com/ABC/status/936628560374071296/video/1

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...nockout-blow-to-trump/?utm_term=.6e74a5c2b657

"National security gurus with whom I spoke suggest Flynn could be of help in several areas. He might provide details of Russian influence actors — how they operated and how they contacted and connected with him. (We should remember this is still a counterintelligence investigation.) Flynn’s help could be related to former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who has already been indicted for financial crimes relating to his connection with Russian players. Alternatively, Flynn’s help might be related to his dealings with President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, either with regard to alleged efforts to set up a “back channel” or with regard to Kushner’s own financial dealings with Russians. And, of most concern to Trump, Flynn could provide evidence relating to interference with the Russia probe, including Trump’s efforts to get then-FBI Director James B. Comey to lay off Flynn. The ABC News report, if accurate, suggests it is the latter, with fatal consequences for the Trump presidency.

Trump’s defenders will argue that this still does not touch on the underlying issue of collusion with Russia. That’s true but misses the point. If there was collusion, Flynn almost certainly would have known about it. He was both Trump’s closet foreign policy adviser and a pro-Russia operator who traveled to Russia to give a lavishly compensated speech and appeared on RT, Russia’s propaganda network, which he asserted was no different than any American news outlet. (RT has since be required to register as a foreign agent.) Trump can claim all he wants that the Russia investigation is a hoax, but if Flynn provides direct evidence implicating Trump, the president’s days in office are numbered."
 
I'm getting excited for my Impeachment (and/or resignation) Celebration! I can almost taste the champagne.
 
Still not sure I'd trust him 100%.

Mueller has expectations, or he would not have agreed to this plea deal. If Flynn does not fulfill those expectations, and Mueller believes he is stonewalling, he can find himself facing more charges, as well as a harsher punishment for the charge he's pled guilty to. Not sure trust factors in, if Flynn is now backed into a corner.

And I need to pay closer attention in this thread. Did not realize you had already posted the ABC report....
 
The Red Spin here, is that the guilty plea only implicates Flynn.

It's like Fox News is completely ignoring the real damage here; what he's gonna say during testimony.

I don't mind the duplication, given the context.
 
Brace yourselves for some random *** nonsensical twitter storm from the President. It probably won't even have to do with this, but as we've seen, he needs to vent when he isn't getting his way.

Just now... Rex Tillerson post.

"The media has been speculating that I fired Rex Tillerson or that he would be leaving soon - FAKE NEWS! He’s not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects, (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!"
