Good. It will show the cravenness of Flynn's actions and Flynn will be compelled to appear before the House and testify truthfully to anything they want to ask or risk imprisionment. |
He'll just lie. It's what he does. It's all he knows. |
It's not getting enough attention because that is not where all this is headed. Durham is trying to determine who leaked it to the WaPo. |
Then he will spend time in prison until he feels like telling the truth. |
This is standard practice and happens all the time. If there is intelligence that someone in a position of influence is having secret talks with the Russian ambassador and other foreign government officials, the people in need-to-know positions ask who it is. If the approval process determines that the request is from a need-to-know person, that person gets the name. Unmasking doesn't mean the name was made public or shared outside the need-to-know national security people, but Trump lovers are too stupid to understand that. Flynn made everything worse for himself, after the calls to the ambassador, when he lied to Pence and the FBI about them. Once Pence publicly repeated Flynn's lie about he discussed, Flynn was open to blackmail by the Russians who could threaten to expose his lie. That made him a national security threat. The argument within DOJ was not whether to investigate Flynn, but whether it should be primarily a counterintelligence investigation or a criminal investigation. No one disputed that he lied to the FBI and the VP and that it should be investigated. Barr is lying again and misrepresenting the internal FBI deliberations about the Flynn case. |
Congress does not send people to prison for lying or for refusing to testify. |
Of course it doesn't necessarily mean that....but in this case, it was shared/made public. |
The problem is, the judge has already showed his blatant partisanship and disrespect for the law he's supposed to uphold. Y'all live in such a bubble that you don't think the American people in other parts of the country see this. They do. And they see it MUCH differently than the DC liberal Feds. |
Precisely correct. And is a crime. |
In a case where it is someone who has accepted a pardon, it is highly probably they would. How often has this happened in US history? |
the judge? maybe you should get out of YOUR bubble |
No. Unmasking never means leaking. You are misusing the word. |
Is Sullivan a judge? I believe he is. |
The Vice President is a statutory member of the National Security Council, but now we're going to have the media spend days asking why Joe Biden was getting intelligence about a senior official who might be a security threat to the United States, because of course we are. |
Of course he is a judge. Appointed by Reagan and elevated by Bush. He is about as much of a straight shooter as there is. What evidence do you have that he has done something illegal or outside of the bounds of normal judicial activity? And if you are going to levy such a claim, please describe AG Barr's actions and how they compare to ANY of his predecessors over the last 75 years. |
