[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michael Flynn seemingly entered into that conversation with no idea that U.S. intelligence would be spying on Sergey Kislyak shows that he had no business being a National Security Advisor to begin with.[/quote]

Has it occurred to you that he did not lie about it?  Of course, he knew.  [b]He discussed many things with the ambassador and the conversation about the sanctions was pretty limited--please don't escalate[/b].  The original leak implied that he had discussed eliminating the sanctions.[/quote]

Yes, we haven't seen the transcript but we know that he told the Russian ambassador to not worry about the sanctions because they would be lifted.

The conversation has been described as "very bad".  Minimize all you want.  The transcript will come out and then you'll just find some other unfactual absurdity to argue.  [/quote]

If the conversation was very bad, why wasn't he charged with anything related to it?  And no, there were no other charges that were "plead down".  Nothing in the plea deal.[/quote]

Yes, there were other charges that were "plead down."  That what a plea deal is - you plead to a lower charge; there wouldn't be anything public written down.  Prosecutors would have said, "Hey, we can charge you with x and you'll likely get x jail time, or you could plead to Y, and we'll recommend Y sentence cap."  [/quote]

No.  If there was a plea down from more serious charges, to lesser charges, it would have to be disclosed in the plea deal.  It wasn't.  The plea agreement mentions NOTHING about a plea down from more serious charges.  If there was a "deal" and it wasn't disclosed in the plea agreement, that would be a Giglio violation.[/quote]
