Jackthehat @ 12:19 - well said sir - top post!!!

Khandro @ 12:31 - UNBELIEVABLE. The recordings proved that Flynn had discussed the fact that Trump may lift the sanctions with the Russians, this topic of conversation was in violation of federal law. IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. Like Trump himself you appear to believe the 'crime' was leaking the recordings and not the act - which was, in case you missed it, IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. Flynn didn't take the bullet like a soldier, he took it like the liar he is.

/// Sam....Sessions has lied to Congress....get used to it ! ///

And it won't be the first time that
someone has lied to Congress or any other political organisation if it comes to that.

We could even look a little more closer to home than the USA, and on reflection that perhaps wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Where did you get that, The Washington Post? Have you heard such recordings?

Khandro //Where did you get that, The Washington Post? Have you heard such recordings? //

Where ever I got it will be denounced as Fake News - although I could say Brietbart or Fox, that'd throw you - but as I've grown out of fairy tales I don't pay attention to those particular outlets.

No, I personally haven't heard the recordings - but they have been widely reported, on the same level; did you hear Flynn counselling the Russians not to overreact? Did Putin declare his intentions to you directly? Have you personally met anyone from this "Deep State" and did he or she wear a hat?

[Khandro]

'The real crime here, however, is not that the incoming national security adviser spoke with a Russian diplomat seeking guidance on the future president’s thinking. The real crime is the criminal conspiracy inside the deep state to transcribe the private conversation of a U.S. citizen and leak it to press collaborators to destroy a political career.

But the deep state is after larger game than General Flynn. It is out to bring down President Trump and abort any move to effect the sort of rapprochement with Russia that Ronald Reagan achieved.

For the deep state is deeply committed to Cold War II.

Hence, suddenly, we read reports of a Russian spy ship off the Connecticut, Delaware and Virginia coasts, of Russian jets buzzing a U.S. warship in the Black Sea, and Russian violations of Reagan’s INF treaty outlawing intermediate-range missiles in Europe.

Purpose: Stampede the White House into abandoning any idea of a detente with Russia.

How does the deep state go about its work? We have seen a classic example with Flynn. The intelligence and investigative arms of the regime dig up dirt, and then move it to their Fourth Estate collaborators, who enjoy First Amendment immunity to get it out.

For violating their oaths and breaking the law, bureaucratic saboteurs are hailed as “whistleblowers” while the journalists who receive the fruits of their felonies put in for Pulitzers.'

Khandro....the real problem here is that Sessions lied during his confirmation hearing.

[ichkeria]

The real crime of the intelligence operatives was to 'dig up' potential security issues fit the US. In due course more may emerge but for now as mikey says the issue was Flynn lied. And he had to go. And Sessions lied. And he'll have to go. And I predict they'll find Trump lied too

[Mothman]

Please re-read my post Khandro, this time with your eyes open, the real crime is the violation of federal law, as perpetrated by Flynn, the rest is just meat for the tin foil hat brigade

hi Itch-eh - well I hope

and the magic words are " Fake News"

but does that mean that he DID meet the russians
or didnt ?

he appears to have met them qua senator and not qua candidates helper

so he kinda did and didnt meet the russians at the same time - hey we could call it schrodingers rusky !

[Note qua means 'as' for those who dont do Latin]
