We're fucked
"We won't pursue charges because we are corrupt, hypocritical scumbags only out for personal enrichment and powermongering and don't care one bit about any criminal activity of our party or administration".
"Wait...let me rephrase that, it came out a bit honest. Ahem, Flynn is an honest American who made a little mistake and has patriotically paid any price, pursuing charges would be politicizing politics and a distraction from the real issues facing the American people such as AMERICAN JOBS AMERICAN JOBS."

Wait a minute, the FBI says no charges, because he didn't LIE.
God Damn..
God Damn..
If Flynn is indicated, I imagine he will spill who ordered him to talk to the Russians about the sanctions.
If he says he was ordered by Trump, it will point back to Trump.
But then Trump will be required to speak under oath about his actions and it's been proven he can't stay on topic or on subject.
So Trump again avoids impeachment due to his own incompetence.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I mean, depending on the context of the conversation, it absolutely could be treason.
If there's any concrete evidence connecting Trump to Russian espionage he will be impeached. The GOP Congress likes Trump to the extent he takes all the blame for implementing unpopular parts of the GOP agenda. The point at which they have to be on the line for something like this is the point they're going to high-tail it out of there.

Yep. He likes appearing like an irritant to the administration, while actually not doing anything to impede him. Is a fraud, always has been a fraud.

After the FBI said FLynn didn't lie to them, and there would be no charges, another 'leak' to the Media shows that he did.
The IC at it again.

Donald knew for weeks that Flynn misled Pence(which by the way isn't to say Flynn wasn't following Trump instructions), and only maneuvered to oust him when all wiggle room ceased to exist.
Donald's out there trying to position himself as some kind of strong leader, but he couldn't be more full of shit.
I'm not watching that conference, but I'll just go ahead and assume no one called him out of knowing long beforehand of the 'deception'.
Its providing aid and comfort to an enemy, no?
So, should Flynn start fearing for his life, if he hasn't already? Talk about the weakest link in the chain...
Pretty much. There might be shitlords at the IC and the DOJ, but there are decent people with integrity that are unwilling to stand for this bullshit. But what happens first: do the leaks keep coming, and fast enough, to make the situation untenable and serious investigations begin, or do the shitlords keep lying, deflecting, and stalling until the can staunch the leaks and eliminate any dissent? I'm going with the latter.

Wow.. with Comey and then possibly Sessions at helm.. this shit will just dissolve into nothingness
Few tried to probe into issues that are Flynn and Russia. Trump bullshitted his way through and only slipped some actual info.
Nah, Sessions won't prosecute him.
Only if we were at war with Russia. I mean, yeah, I think it's treason, you think it's treason, but going by the definition it just isn't.

Again, only weeks into the administration you have to wonder how long you can run from this stuff. This isn't sustainable for four years.

There's nobody willing to prosecute, the Republicans control everything. The only hope US has is the IC getting something explicit and giving it to all the press.
I'm not talking about Sessions. I'm talking about Putin.
Sessions has made it clear that he doesn't see any reason to recuse himself so he won't.
Which means anything related to Russia is tainted and dead in crib

I mean, if they really go after him and he thinks he's looking at 10 years or something, he'll sing like a goddamn canary, right?

Maybe. It's all moot though since they won't go after him.

That's true, you usually can't have treason in peacetime, but I believe they've charged people with treason without formal declarations of war (in connection with military acts against middle eastern insurgents).
That kind of operation leaks like a sieve. Eventually Congress would have to take action.
Lol. John McCain lacks a spine. He'll keeping spouting nice things but won't do shit in the end.

They are police/enforcement. They will get unprecedented power. People like power.
Comey. That's all you need to know
Obama really screwed the pooch on this one. Never appoint from the opposition.

Isn't there a conflicting report that he *didn't* lie? I saw that on Twitter.
It feels like I say that at least twice a day now.
