Would you three ladies care to explain how you feel that you fell for fake news?

Do you have an issue with what Flynn was told to do?
1. Not escalating the situation with Russia and seeking a mutually agreeable terms in dealing with Syria.
2. Asking Russia to spike the Israeli Settlements resolution since we were abstaining.
Honest question, do you have a problem with his being directed to have those conversations? THE already posted the video of the DoS saying they had no issue with it.
If you've never heard the sound of crickets before @wvu2007 buy a set earplugs for the sound you're about to hear from this post.
They were probably upset no one wants to hit on them. Look at 'em....Cinderella's ugly Sisters.

Assuming what is posted here is all the truth of what was discussed, it doesn't matter in my opinion. I have a problem with the Trump transition team representing the country before the inauguration. I have an equal or even bigger problem with all the lying and deflection the administration put forward to the FBI and the public. Why aren't republicans equally upset with the president and team blatantly lying? And don't try to say they didn't lie.
You are assuming Flynn's plea deal resulted in him pleading guilty to lying to investigators about meetings during the transition period. Never was it stated that this was the lie he pleaded guilty to. There were plenty of lies. And if it was no big deal, why did trump ask Comey to "let it go?"
Flynn has agreed to "full cooperation." To agree to full cooperation, they have a bunch of **** on him. No one knows the details of the agreement. They may have reserved the right to file additional charges at a later date.
We already have donnie jr lying about at least one meeting with Russians in June 2006. It is documented. There is more upcoming testimony from donnie jr next week and Kushner testified last week.
And we have the guilty plea from Papadopoulos and the indictments against Manafort and Gates.
Good times.
First, all winners start talking to other countries reps. Flynn lied and it doesn't make sense. It was allowed and he should have told the truth. I bet his problem is he thought he was in trouble with FARA. By the way, you can't collude if you are talking after the election which is perfectly acceptable. I'm just waiting for the investigation into the lying by Susan Rice. She'son national TV lying. That one was pretty easy.
It’s actually been posted in the NYT and WaPo and linked here what it was about. The things I posted above.
Precisely because it wasn’t a big deal and was a distraction against Trump’s Presidency. With the context of what it was about, Trump’s request makes complete sense now.
Flynn has been fully cooperating for the last year. We’ve known this. It’s possible they might file charges later but extremely unlikely. That’s not usually how this works.
2006? A decade before Trump ran or decided to run for President? Hahahahaha ok.
As has been stated numerous times, Manafort and Gates’ indictments are not related to campaign activity. It’s completely unrelated, and the fact that they are fighting it means they aren’t cooperating as it relates to the campaign.
PapaD is the only wildcard but since he’s already plead guilty to lying to the FBI about trying to arrange the meeting, I’m not sure what more you think is going to come from him.
None of this is the collusion that has been touted. We are not even close to scratching the surface on a combined effort between the campaign and Russia.
I’m curious, is your issue with them representing the country prior to inauguration a blanket concern regardless of administration or just this one?
I do have concerns with the lies as so far all of them have been unnecessary. The truth would have sufficed, especially in Flynn’s case. I also agree with Trump’s decision to fire him. You have to have transparency and trust with your boss.
I appreciate your response and respect the opinion. I disagree with the notion on all incoming admins talk to other countries. I have no problems with talk, I have problems representing the United States in an official capacity which a transition team yet has.
I never understood wingnuts position on Susan Rice after the attacks in Benghazi and doubt I ever will. Yes, she represented what was thought was the cause very soon after the attack based on intelligence. It wasn't accurate and was corrected. Lying is an intentional act to mislead. After all the investigations and there has been plenty on the subject, no intent has been founded. It is time you need to accept the results of those investigations.
2016, typo, you know what I meant.
Flynn lied about Russian payments, duh. That deal wasn't about some contacts between election and inauguration. I think you are one of the most gullible people. You think trump asked Comey to "let Flynn go" was over some phone call between election and inauguration? That's funny.

Manafort and Gates not related to the campaign? You have to be kidding. You think the Russians were helping trump out of the goodness of their heart? You think they just wanted to throw money at trump campaign people because they were swell guys? Mueller has followed the money trail. They thought they could get away with it by the shady overseas accounts and money laundering.
LMAO!
I honestly feel sorry for you.
What about the whoppers Comey told before he even finished his investigation of Hillary's server...and how about James Clapper pretending he knew nothing about either those intel leaks on Flynn or the FISA warrants? If lying is the standard we charge folks under....those folks have more lies than all of the Fish stories ever told in the history of Fish storytelling!
They tell so many lies so often they actually start belieivng them. This collusion story is exhibit one. There is no evidence of any collusion on the part of Trump with the Russians to steal this past election, but they are so heavily invested in the lies they've told about it they actually believe there was collusion it's just being covered up.
Pavolvian delusion.
Trump didn't need any money from Russians Country. FEC disclosure laws would not allow any money coming in from overseas to end up in Trump's campaign without proper sourcing, and it's illegal (foreign funding of Presidential campaigns). Flynn's payments (what ever you're referring to) weren't related to his work in the Trump campaign...he was supposed to be a registered Foreign agent and he didn't properly disclose all his credentials for that activity.
So how did they get those Trump votes if all you think you've laid out here is the smoking gun? Where's the payoff between the money you allege was used for the campaign, the meetings, the strategy sessions...how did it translate into votes taken away from Hillary and given to Trump? You still haven't connected those dots...the rest of what you've posted here is all nothing but chronological cannon fodder.
Good lord, how many articles need to be written for you to understand the Manafort and Gates stuff is not connected to the campaign?
And now you see the “cooperating” with Mueller? He pled guilty to lying as they had that cold. They would have had to fight it In court for the FARA stuff. Him pleading guilty to the lesser offense is the cooperation. You really don’t understand how it works for people with high dollar lawyers in White Collar crimes where no one was hurt/aggrieved.
Looking forward to the next round of stuff we’ve know was coming for close to 10 months.
As for the Donnie meeting, I bet they don’t touch that. It brings Fusion into play and if that happens, strap in.
Rice's problems really don't come from lying on tV, you are correct. She never lied under oath. However, there are many questions about unmasking and why. The FBI knew what Flynn had said, he was unmasked already. Why did the FBI even ask him? Was it to entrap him?
