No. That is not what I am saying. There were plenty of supposed crimes that posters are alleging he committed well before they decided to interview him. If they wanted him to cooperate, why not charge him with one of those offenses? There would have never been the need to interview him and drum up the lying charge. |

We need a citation for the bolded. |

It's been explained. You just don't want to believe it. |

DP. There is nothing in the plea agreement that supports this. |

The leak that they were threatening to prosecute his son came three days before he plead guilty. Emails between his lawyers and the SCO just the week before said he would not plead guilty.
Nothing to see here. |

No. We need a citation. It has been repeated here frequently, but I have yet to see a citation for this statement. I don't want an explanation. I want a citation. |

Because that is not how prosecutors work. They got him on an airtight smaller offense with the goal of flipping him. He flipped until he didn't. This was textbook until Barr came in. |

DP, that is because that isn't how plea deals work. Stop listening to the conspiracy theorists who are flooding the zone with half-truths. if you want to bone up on how plea deals have worked for the last 100 years, google it, but don't just take the word of the like of Eli Lake and Sean Hannity. |

Citation: took three seconds on google, this was the first hit

It was reported everywhere repeatedly. It was in all the papers. |

So, he cooperated. But, they threatened his son.
Bottom line: there was no Russian collusion. Had there been, there would have been charges on that. They only charged some Russians for interfering and that was pretty much face saving as there was no way they would be tried here. Started by a set-up, mostly relying on a fake dossier. Sure, you can claim Papa was compromised, but that seems quite suspect now. And, as for Carter Page, he was a CIA asset and they left that out of the FISA application. So, they went after Carter Page in order to spy on the campaign. |

Ok. Let's review. A poster upthread wrote this: "We have to remember that the main reason alarm bells were ringing about Flynn was because he was working for or getting paid by foreign governments (Turkey to kidnap a US resident, Saudi Arabia to sell nuclear secrets, Israel to undermine the US at the UN)." Another poster wrote this: "If Flynn did all of these horrible things, why didn't they prosecute him for them?" Then, another poster wrote this: "Because he agreed to cooperate with the prosecution, so they went with the least impactful offense possible." The link you have provided indicates that because he cooperated, the prosecution was recommending little or no jail time. It says absolutely nothing about pleading to lesser charges. All it referenced was lying to the FBI. So, you have not provided a citation to support the claim in bold. |

Then, provide a citation for this claim......"Because he agreed to cooperate with the prosecution, so they went with the least impactful offense possible." If it was everywhere, a citation should be pretty easy to find. |

| Come on, they were desperate for scalps. If they had something, they would have gone for it. |

If it's what you say it is, I love it. Read the Stone documents. But we are all happy that Mueller showed the campaign was thinking it's dumb to collude successfully and effectively. |
