The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5273 - Politics and Economics

So yeah, that was all just a show (lie)

Flynn AND his attorney both walking back all the nonsense that generated the "flynn entrapment" trend, like every word of it.

IANAL, but this doesn’t seem to be going so smooth for Flynn here.

It's another move by Rs where they can rob from their base and be unaccountable.

True, I mean I'll even admit I don't often stay on top of changes in tax law and try to be proactive with preparing for them or anything. Like aside from obvious stuff like knowing the year my oldest turned 18 meant a child tax credit falling off the books, I'd basically just run the numbers through TurboTax in February and go "uh okay I owed/got back $400 more than last year because reasons" and maybe change my withholding to keep it closer to even for the next year.

I'd like to think if the difference is jarring enough, it would raise some warning bells, but who the **** knows. They'd probably find a way to blame the newly sworn-in House, or their state government stealing from them, or whatever.

Could he submit a harsher sentence but suspend it with the stipulation of further help?

(and good point on how things are not done between lawyers, but with Trump involved, isnt anything at least somewhat possible?).

I've got this Judge Sullivan fellow as a Maddow watcher. She went over all of this last night.

So glad Flynn, and Trump, are having to sweat this. Nothing like a half hour break before they deal the river when you're all in Flynn.

Judge confirmed that Flynn could have been indicted with his two business partners yesterday.

Flynn is just telling the deep-state Clinton-supporting judge what he wants to hear. Everybody understands that the hero General was entrapped by Comey's FBI thugs who just wanted to embarrass President T.

Meanwhile Mike Flynn Jr.'s pinned tweet is a Malcom X quote about the power of the media to make innocent people guilty.
