Russia Collusion Scandal (aka A Leftist fantasy)

I wonder why he would make a deal to cooperate and plead to the charge. This just makes it sound more like they had him lined up for more.

When you're dealing with a corrupt agent you have few choices. Flynn will be a free man with a thrown out bogus charge within a year. I hope trump gives him a spot in his administration afterwards.

I really don't see how your reasoning here lines up with what we know. He's a free man now, by virtue of his guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the investigation. If the charge were spurious (and I agree the known circumstances around it are confusing) he had the option to contest it in court. The fact that he chose not to indicates which of the parties was holding the stronger hand.

Well I'm not sure of the information that presented to him at the time he agreed to a plea deal and I hope at some point all this information is made known to the American public. However, at the time there was no check on what the FBI was doing so I believe that they drummed up all of these frivolous charges that were going to drain Flynn financially. Ultimately he made a choice to end it all and live.
 
A year or so back when I brought up the notion of constitutional crisis the MAGA hat wearers scoffed:

LOLGOP Retweeted Ken Dilanian

At the Constitutional Convention, James Madison imagined impeachment

as a relief from a chief executive who “might lose his capacity after his appointment.

He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression.

He might betray his trust to foreign powers.”

Sen. Jack Reed just got FBI Director Wray and other intel chiefs

to admit that the president has never asked them to focus on

or disrupt Russian election meddling.

FBI Director Wray just testified in the Senate that — despite Russia’s ongoing

intrusions into our electoral systems — POTUS has NEVER charged the FBI with

protecting US elections from Russia! LET THAT SINK IN.

That’d be like FDR doing nothing in response to Pearl Harbor.

FWIW, Rick Gates is reportedly finalizing his deal with Mueller. He's almost certainly going to give them Manafort on a platter. Expect more indictments for PM. If he did any dirt while attached to the campaign, I expect he'll be willing to spill it.

Last sliver of hope before you finally realize. Hope we find out soon.
 
"While Gates listed $2.2 million in assets in 2011, he filed a 2016 credit application saying he had a liquid net worth of $25 million and that his wife was worth $30 million, according to a filing by prosecutors. Gates controlled as many as 30 bank accounts in the past six months, including several in Cyprus in which he held more than $10 million, according to court documents. In August, his wife transferred more than $1 million to a joint brokerage account, the filings said."
