President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The eyes of both parties are full of 2x4s.

 

Being a man without a party is a wonderfully liberating thing.

 

Remember when a primary GOP argument was that flip-flopping was wrong?

 

Flynn got fucked.

Unless they can show that he pled to this, instead of more serious charges, a pardon is warranted.

This is criminalizing politics. They used a fake “dossier”, unwarranted unmasking of Americans, a FISA warrant granted based on false information, and the unlikely prospect of a Logan Act prosecution to justify an investigation of their political rivals.

And partisan officials in the FBI and the special council’s office are the ones making the case

This specific charge is surprising because, as a seasoned intelligence officer, Mr. Flynn had to know that the U.S. would be listening to Mr. Kislyak’s conversations and have transcripts. CNN reported on Feb. 17 that “the FBI interviewers believed Flynn was cooperative and provided truthful answers,” even though he first said sanctions were not discussed and later said he couldn’t recall.

A Congressional source also tells us that former FBI director James Comey told the House Intelligence Committee on March 2 that his agents had concluded that Mr. Flynn hadn’t lied but had forgotten what had been discussed. Perhaps the FBI changed its view.

 

An eight-year old sarcastic joke.
And hearing the WH criticize the inaccurate Ross report is rich, considering the daily misinformation, total disregard for even trying to be factual and tenuous relationship with reality.
Kellyanne Conway would "fire" Ross if he was working for her? Seriously - I thought she was "all in" on "alternative facts."
I wish more WH press people would preface every question they have going forward with "Given the President's historically bad approval ratings..." And attach "beleaguered" to every reference of him.

 

Unless you're repairing the coffee machines in Mueller's office, why can't you accept that you don't have the foggiest shit what's going on there? Talk about punching above your weight.

 

Be careful what you wish for. This will become the norm.

Said the celebrity profiler...

What’s your area of expertise again?

 

The FBI doesn’t prosecute crimes.

 

That just supports the notion Flynn was caught by the short ones and Mueller let him plead to a lesser charge for cooperation.

 

No they don’t.

But it would be pretty hard for a prosecutor to make the case that someone lied to the FBI, if the FBI didn’t agree that he lied, wouldn’t it?
