[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which Obamaite leaked to wapo????  That is a crime[/quote]

Agree, that is a crime.

[b]Conspiring against the US, planning a kidnapping of a foreign national on US soil and sharing nuclear secrets are bigger crimes. How about let's start with the bigger crimes[/b] and then we can get to the leaking to the journalist crime.[/quote]

The prosecutors who ultimately charged Flynn with false statements had plenty of opportunities to charge him with these crimes that your allege.  They didn't.  And no, I'm sorry, they didn't trade those off for a false statements charge ([b]which would have been incomprehensible to do, given the very serious nature of these supposed other crimes he committed[/b]).  Even if they did somehow agree to not charge him with those crimes, they would have to disclose them in the plea deal.[/quote]

It's called pleading down to a lesser charge--it happens every day.

1. Have you seen the plea deal? [b]That's right, no you haven't because that's a privileged document.[/b]

2. Were you privy to the discussion surrounding how and what to charge Flynn with? Of course not.

Stop talking out of your ass.[/quote]

DP. 
I would find it absolutely remarkable if they had any evidence of the crimes the pp listed above and ended up charging him with lying to the FBI.
That would be crazy.  [/quote]

Rafiekian...

They weren't so interested in Flynn for his own crimes.  They wanted to find out if he was criming all by himself or at Trump's command.  They never found out because he "couldn't remember".  But most of his crimes did seem to be his own, unrelated to Trump.    [/quote]

But, they got nothing from him.  Why allow him to plea to a lesser charge (a huge difference)  if they get nothing?  It doesn't make sense.  [/quote]

Did you notice anything a bit unusual about the Mueller charges?  They were all plea deals.  No looooong trials.  Only plea deals.

The Rafiekian trial took several years and was thrown out late last year.  Flynn's conviction happened much quicker.  Although it the sentencing has gotten very delayed and very strange.[/quote]
