    We'll probably hear it, but those people will be idiots. I will probably grow to despise his politics if he emerges, but I think it's a societal good for people of all races, religions and orientations to find representation in this country.

    Surely this error by ABC guy who has a history of ****-ups and should be fired is total vindication for the Trump Admin.

    The vindication is that the 'this is big' news after a year plus of investigation is essentially nothing.

    How dense can one be? Can you answer this simple question? Why all the lying and amnesia from this administration on the matter if everything is on the up and up?

    They are accused of incompetence left and right on all other matters so why not chalk it up to that now? The lying is irrelevant if there is no crime. Sure...quote Watergate but no way is trump deposed of if not clear evidence of collusion.

    Coincidence this plea deal was finalized/announced on the day tax cuts passed? Hmmm.....

    You're joking right? Yea I'm sure the cooperation element to the deal is just to unearth "incompetency."

    The second absurd thing about the post: would it not be just as much a coincidence the other way around? Completely ignorant and stupid to tie those two together.

    Third absurd thing: The bill was passed well late into night. I thought that was just so abhorrent to Republicans.

    But you know, whatever. You've become impossible to reason with.

    Sure...it's my viewpoint's that have been absurd. Go look back at the premature celebration to the fake news of yesterday.

    This.....is.....big.....

    Keep hanging on to hope though. You and the rest of the left simply cannot come to grips with the election results.

    You can make the argument that this whole collusion case took a hit yesterday with the information released. Sure, there may be more to be revealed in the future but right now it's looking LESS likely this administration is removed.

    Yes, it's fake news that Flynn the Deep State agent lied to the FBI and is cooperating with the investigation.

    Looks to me like the majority of Americans will get tax breaks, that's good right? Looks like I'll get about $5200 back. That's good right?

    I get that NYC and NJ people may take a hit but why should I have to subsidize their extremely high state taxes?

    And business having lower rates... That's good right?

    Are yall gonna scream like children that this is the end of the world while the majority of people are helped by it? Not sure arguing for higher taxes on people is an electoral smart strategy.

    Well the deep state illegally monitored flynn. We still need to know why flynn lied but if there is nothing new about any collusion efforts then this investigation may be dead.

    We have been told from the very beginning that flynn was the lynchpin.

    I need to move out of NY. But for the majority of Americans this is a great thing.

    The emotional arguments are out in full force following the passage of tax reform.

    That's all they got.

    Somehow, confiscating less of people's money is the end of the world.

    Giving less of a handout to those that aren't paying federal income tax makes you the devil. We have to continue to subsidize peoples poor decisions in multiple ways. I'm fine with accepting the fact that safety nets need to be in place in a non-theoretical society. However, our safety nets are vast and multi-layered at the expense of those of us who made good decisions in our lives.
