I am thinking he lied so that is the main problem. What is the big deal if Obamacare approved. On Twitter they are making a big deal about that

It means he lied about something that was above board.

It means that LITERALLY, the only illegal thing that happened was Flynn committing perjury.


And is suspicious for other reasons.

Who is suspicious? And of who and what reasons? Is Mueller suspicious of Flynn?

I think it means that Flynn really was afraid of his own lack of understanding about the law..was afraid that he made a mistake,but also didn't want to ask for a lawyer,out of fear,that that would make him look guilty of something.

Yes, he probably guessed that,or was tipped off,but wasn't clear about the outright legality of his actions.

It still comes down to his fear,about his own lack of knowledge about the law. He probably lied when he had nothing to hide,but he questioned himself.

Still don’t understand if this is going to be bad for Obama and his cronies or not. The way that they are talking on Twitter, it will. Flynn also could be doing this purposely to be able to open up about something much worse

Flynn is in the clear on everything now,nothing new stemming from this can be brought up against him.
It's minor shite,and it's out of the way.

Is there any precedence set, so we will know how this should be interpreted?

2 Indictments

Last indictment 1852

Anyone mentioning the Logan Act is just playing for TV.

especially if they are claiming Trump violated against the obama adminstration, since in the 08 election Obama was all over the globe meeting with foreign leaders

It maybe just polical. He has said many times he doesn’t know anyone on the campaign that talked with Russia.

He was never under oath, so it’s not impeachable it could just prove he is really big liar.

The only way he would be in any trouble is “IF” obstruction is what he did.

Collusion is not a crime

I mentioned this earlier, but people get fricked every day by the justice system because they talk to investigators without a lawyer. People make the mistake of believing there is no risk in talking to them and believe that they are just helping. In fact there is enormous risk because every statement you make is evidence and if something you say doesnt jive with with their evidence, they will nail your arse to the wall.
