re: Flynn thing is classic fake news. Big headline, but nothing there.

Again, the guilty plea is real news. What is fake is the reports about the substance of his teatimony.

Oh dear. Another one lost in TrumpLand.

Take just a minute, dear LSUTigersVCURams, and consider, Mueller and company threw the proverbial legal book at Manafort and Gates. If you haven't taken the time, look at the Manafort and Gates indictments. It's a lot for those guys to defend.
Then, take a look at what Mueller charged Popadapalous and Flynn with: one count of lying.
If you are dreaming that this is over, you're ignoring he basic rules of federal prosecution. Mueller has told Flynn in effect, cooperate and we'll accept your guilty plea on one count. Don't cooperate and we give you the same full court press that Manafort and Gates are receiving.
You have to have high confidence in your innocence and very deep pockets of cash (for all the lawyers you'll need) to say No to Mueller's offer.
So, what does Flynn have? He's got something on someone in the present White House.
Just wait and watch.

And here’s what MegaAnon said about Manafort versus Flynn (how they are VERY different)
QUOTE:
Here’s the deal with Manafort. He’s no different than his old partner Stone, except he doesn’t sell himself out on social media, he just sells himself out to anyone still willing to pay him and keep him relevant, regardless of party ties/affiliations.

Manafort and people like him (lots in DC) care far less about who they work for and with, than they do about the hundreds of thousands they’ll earn from whoever’s looking for their services.

Manafort stepped in his OWN shite and didn’t care about it until he REALIZED he had to. He tried to buddy up tobtge admin and yes, he was brought on, but ONLY to serve a purpose.

Flynn doesn’t care about people like Manafort really being around DC. Begging for contracts like ambulance chasing lawyers. Alternatively, Manafort would do anything to get people like Flynn to care about him, so that should tell you enough about both.
The only thing that ties these two together is that they both worked for Obama, both worked for Trump and BOTH have a to say about it. The only DIFFERENCE they share in those ties, is that Flynn is doing it so the TRUTH can prevail, even if he had to take it on the chin publicly for a little while and resign/face indictments over it and Manafort is doing it because honestly, it’s just another shady deal he made, like all the shady deals he’s made, selling out people to cover his arse if and when he’s ever needed it, including today.
I know it sucks thinking guilty, shady people like Manafort, Comey, Mueller, Awan, Lerner, etc. won’t be sentenced or served the time they deserve, but if you knew how bad it really was here, you’d be willing to sacrifice on exchange for the big names and their networks.

Trust me, even I’m ok with Comey, Mueller, Lerner, etc. don’t get me wrong they’ll pay in many ways, but not as big as we’d expect. Sadly, you still need a little cooperation and help to force the swamp to drain itself.
