I see some of you asking why it matters that everyone is causing a stink about this latest tweet. Hopefully I can break it down for you.

Jan. 24, 2017 Flynn is interviewed by the FBI

Jan. 26, 2017 Department of Justice informs White House that Flynn may have misled administration officials

Jan. 27, 2017 Trump and Comey have dinner; Trump, according to Comey, demands loyalty pledge

Jan. 28, 2017 - Trump speaks with Putin

Feb. 9, 2017 Pence learns that Flynn lied to him about conversations with Kislyak

Feb. 10, 2017 Aboard Air Force One, Trump denies knowledge of Flynn's conversations with ambassador

Feb. 13, 2017: Flynn resigns; Keith Kellogg named interim national security adviser

Here’s where it gets interesting. On Feb 13th, Trump claims he fired Flynn because Flynn misled Vice President Pence. NOT because of the fact that he lied to the FBI.

On February 14th, Trump asked Comey to shut down the investigation into Flynn.

May 9, 2017: James Comey is fired

Dec. 1, 2017: Flynn pleads guilty to lying to the FBI

Dec. 2, 2017: Trump says he fired Flynn because he lied to Pence and the FBI

So, if Trump is now refuting his original statement on why Flynn was fired. Then he knew at the time that Flynn was lying to the FBI. This brings new light to the Comey firing, and makes a case for obstruction of justice.

Although I am sure many of you will not see it this way as you are choosing to turn a blind eye to some shady shite.

like i e said before, he mentioned lying to pence first, the fbi second. he can easily say he added the fbi to the tweet because flynn had already plead guilty to lying to the fbi

Read the other thread. Trump doesn't write his tweets. And apparently anyone who thinks he does is melting

DOJ prosecutors Manual says that FBI investigations are not "proceedings" required by the Code for Obstruction. Try again.

LOL

Nice timeline you put cut and paste there.

Now did Trump do anything illegal?

Why don't you be a big boy and point it out.

All you did was list a bunch of dates.

Trump is now refuting his original statement on why Flynn was fired.

-Because he said "I fired him for lying to me and the FBI"?
-What law did this break?

He knew at the time Flynn lied to FBI.

-What law did this break?
-Also, Flynn lied over a legal meeting, why should Trump give a frick. Fire the liar and move on.

Brings new light to the Comey firing.

-Dems and Republicans both wanted Comey fired.
-You can't call for Comey to be fired one day and literally the next day claim firing Comey is obstruction

You got anything else? Anything that would indicate a broken law?

I see you disregarded the parts that weren’t bolded. I don’t expect anything less from some of the trumpkins on this board.

If it makes you feel any better, I personally only think Trump is guilty of being an idiot, forcing the secret service to stay at his hotels and rent his golf carts, and hiring the idiots around him that are orchestrating the bs. The Republican Party is a disaster and a joke now. You all are more concerned with how much Trump trolls the lefties and less about the tax dollars he skims Off as president.

So he did/does the same thing the demos do. I don’t see a problem. What is good for libtards has to also be good for Trump.

So you just don't like Trump. You should have just said that if you wanted to appear reasonable.
