Flynn pleads guilty to lying to the FBI on contacts with Russian ambassador

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty Friday to making false statements to the FBI about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. He is the first former Trump associate to make a guilty plea in the investigation of special counsel Robert Muller into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign. Flynn, an early supporter of Donald Trump, was fired by the president after lying to the vice president about this conversation. The White House comment that his false statements to the FBI “mirrored the false statements he made to White House officials.”

    You’re a fool. He was termed for lying before he pleaded “not guilty”. Is there a better way to discipline someone other than that? What else was he supposed to do?

    If you put millions of dollars into a legal team that has an open-ended mandate/agenda to get Trump, then of course they will be able to dig up dirt on just about anyone. The fact is that leftists loved the Russians and Soviets until Trump started talking to them. They are getting Flynn for lying (what politician does not lie?) not on anything that is of any importance to the state of the nation. Clinton-Obama-Soros and especially the lying media are hysterical, hypocritical and have done, along with the State Department, more to damage foreign policy in the last 10 years than any institution(s) before the current crop of “progressives”.

    This is not about President Trump, General Flynn who was targeted by President Obama because he did not accept his Policy of excluding Islam from discussions on terrorism. President Obama presented the policy that Islam is the religion of peace and no criticism should be made of it. I don’t believe he was Muslim but through his Office he made America more submissive to Islam and that is partly the cause of increased antisemitism to the level it is now. Mueller was Obama’s hatchet man and used the fBI to take action even against DOD employees who did not tow the Islamophobic line.
    This is distraction, Flynn admitted lying about an issue that has nothing to do with the Russians or President Trump there was no admission of Russian collusion. Despite Mueller bringing all the force of his offices against General flynn in a manner that is more like coercion without the waterboard, Flynn’s. This has been an orchestrated attempt to distract Americans from the real threat the continued policies by Obama pose to a free America and Mueller is still wielding the hatchet.

    The camels have clearly distorted your perception of reality, Jim. Kick them out of your mind, they’re not your friends!

    Regarding Trump I believe that he initially had hope (ignorance) that some kind of limited cooperation would lead to a de facto world order. A sort of co domination of the planet. To that end perhaps he tried to determine Russians interests in some kind of strategic co ordination on a global scale. After all Yalta did happen. And of course the Tehran Conference, Potsdam and a few lessor “meetings”.
    In my mind, which is quickly aging, the two world wars were in fact one single conflict. I believe many of you in Asia believe this. In the late 19th century the British were already talking of an independent Jewish nation governed by Zionists. Theodor Herzl, “Der Judenstaat” speaks to this. Perhaps arming Jewish people and throwing them at ones interests in a critical region is a good strategy The brother in law of Trump knows his history. By 1948 this reality came to pass. American hegemony was operational.
    In another strange fact, we do not know the relationship between Nevil Chamberlain, PM of England, and perhaps a chief architect of Nazi thought, Houston Stewart Chamberlain. Were the ideas of these two cousins shared? Racial World Order is not a new idea. Trump is easily close to 80 years old, hardly a modern thinker.
    One last thought. Dunkirk…The Pause. German units could easily have destroyed the British Army. They held back. I believe it was an attempt to forge an alliance between the two powers. One on land and one on the sea. A co domination of the planet. There were many German sympathizers in the US and England. Especially among the wealthy industrialists and royalists.
