I didn't answer your question because it has nothing to do with my post.

Fair enough Keyser76.

Why didn't you answer my other question to you?

On Planned Parenthood's eugenics policy on Black babies?

The Dems talking the 5th were not facing an independent prosecutor. The Dems would never name one. Flynn is facing one and he will have to provide what is subpoenaed by that special prosecutor. The Dems who took the 5th, never had to produce anything.
Always righteous versus the left.

I think the one thing he's guilty of is not reporting the money he got from Turkey and not registering as a foreign agent. He SHOULD have been talking to the Russians as Trumps foreign security adviser.

It's only a crime if he's charged with it, or lied about it (perjury) I'm not sure he's done either. He certainly hasn't been charged with a crime. Regarding his activty on Trump's campaign (which is what the Feds are investigating) I'm not sure what he's done wrong? Is there anything?

I believe Comey indicated that nothing said on those calls was wrong or inappropriate.

Wrong, again. Damn, you are only wrong on days that end in Y.

Comey never said that. He (Flynn) violated the Logan Act. He failed to report as a foreign agent, receiving payments from Turkey. He's in deep **** and he knows it; that's why he is seeking a plea deal. I really am surprised some of you are this stupid.

Not prior to January 20th.....but according to you experts on this board, there is nothing wrong with that, hahahaha.

I mean why else would he ask for plea deals?
There isn't and you are completely off base in that belief. As the designated NSA, he should be read in on what's appropriate and talk to whom it's appropriate. He should not be taking money and not telling the appropriate people. Right now, that's all he's really done. Ask your famed liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz, colluding is not a crime.

I agree. Not on the Logan act but failing to disclose receiving the money and not registering. The Logan act is nothing that has ever been used.

Special counsel will go nowhere near Logan Act. Hasn't been employed since the 1700's. Real can of worms for Dems and the Clinton's if it is opened.

My recollection is that the issue with Lerner pleading the fifth is that she made a statement about the situation first. Basically, some think you can't speak on a subject in a hearing, then plead the fifth when asked about it.
I think you are basically correct. She did plea her innocence in her statement to congress. That was OK. Then she took the 5th which disallowed cross examine of her statement of innocence.

I don't think the General's statement was made in the congressional hearing. That makes two totally different situations.

Would colluding be acceptable to you?

You are asking for specifics on issues that are currently being investigated by the FBI. More details will emerge if he's charged after the investigation is complete. If no charges are files, we may not know.

Fact: The Dems who took the 5th did not face a special prosecutor and were not required to turn over anything. Flynn will be required to do so. He would be crazy to say anything to the Senate or the House while under this kind of investigation.

Lerner never faced this.
So? What are you, the Fox news of the Donald Defender gang?

it's not against the law. Re: Dershowitz. Now, I wouldn't like it but I really don';t see how you guys can even say it with a straight face that the russians would want a strong Republican in the White House vs another panty waisted democrat.

Putin didn't seem to get along with Obama too well. I love how ALL Republicans are strong? Ryan looks weak to me right now. Didn't Trump think so as well?

Obama was the weakest President since carter. Both did a lot of harm to the US. You don';t agree and I don't expect you to. Flynn should have been speaking to the Russians and anybody else. However, by not informing of the money, he is in big trouble. That's his only problem that we know of so far. Investigation onto Flynn is not complete. There could be more. Just tell me where there is a crime? Collusion is not a crime, there is no statue for that.

Don't equate not taking a military action to weakness. Don't equate not reacting to provocation as weakness.

Obama, simply put, was one of the worst Presidents in the history of the US if you believe in self determination. If you believe in a nanny state, he was great. After the election, I will have more leeway. Remember that?

You're right, but there are plenty of folks on the Left who already have him charged and convicted.

Wonder what they know that you and I, or the investigators don't?
