A Federal Appeals Court Grants A Motion To Rehear The Case Of Michael Flynn | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. @Walter White “common??” … Why do you keep copy and posting that crap everywhere, but you have no point?

    2. @Atticus X Well, I’m watching from Canada. No one takes Trump or the GOP very seriously, and from the polls they are going to be crucified. I think that will make a lot of people very happy. Your allies and trading partners will be thrilled.

    3. @Shelley that means Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. (I’m not American) How does that relate to Flynn?

    4. @Atticus X The left is brainwashed LMFAO
      Have you seen the Right lately,or the Trump Cult Right or the Alt-Right.
      And the left is brainwashed .. OK

    1. @Robert Syrett Why do they always run away instead of defending their positions with well thought out arguments? I guess they can’t debate only name call. So sad, so sad.

    2. @Doug Hilton What exculpatory evidence? The fact that the FBI was going to close the case but didn’t? New information came to light. Flynn’s son was involved in criminal activity. He could have been charged, but he wasn’t as part of the plea arrangement to get Flynn to cooperate and provide further information about others and their criminal activity.

    3. @Hotspur The exculpatory evidence was that the agents that interviewed him believed he told what he believed to be true. They were trained to pick up attempts to deceive. They are many other issues with the governments case and I have listed some if them. I also said he may have committed a crime. I understand both sides of the argument. You can only see one side because you get 100% of your information from sites that are one sided propaganda. Does that make me a more informed person then you. Well yes I’m much more informed then you. You have only listened to political propaganda from one side. Very dangerous when citizens don’t take their obligation to research the truth.

    4. Roger Stone was found guilty by a jury . . . either way, Trump’s pals always win. Except Jeffrey Epstein. Now we are just waiting for Ghislane Maxwell to reach a plea deal and roll over . . . .

    1. @Roy Rodgers … Well they aren’t doing a very good job of hiding the test results are they? (proven) lol. I don’t think you understand how censorship works.

      Also – which is more Nazi like – going to a rally and enjoying the speakers and coming away happy and revved to vote – or – waiting outside said rally to intimidate and attack prospective voters?

    2. @xivxi xivxi no not unsucessful and the only reason orange puke didnt get indictedbnb is a false claim that sitting pres shouldnt be indicted.
      But the SUPREME COURT CHANGED THAT WITH ONE OF LATEST ANSWERS.

  1. Trump has done it and can continue to do enormous damage to the American people and the world.
    Fire him.

    1. We plan to fire him in Nov, but it’s better than 50-50 that he will not leave the WH despite losing the vote. Some heavy sh!t will be falling in the next 10 months.

    2. @Ken Albertsen let me tell you what will happen: if Trump refuses to leave, then at least 1 million or more Americans will try to smash their way into the White House and remove him by force. This will in turn cause the U.S. military to take it upon themselves to remove Trump, in order to save his miserable life. Trump goes to prison.

  2. How cool is that. Complete backfire. Now all the old dirt is going to be front and center again before Election Day. It gives me hope.

    1. Andy – there is one twisted thing on Americas side and it’s a virus. Millions of people are seeing him fall apart and they are experiencing his lies and callousness everyday in their own lives and it’s getting worse. He was never expecting this and he can’t con his way into selling his bs anymore about much of anything. It should never take a deadly pandemic to save a Country.

    2. @Andy I think the pages come from the movies, books, speeches that Ivanka Trump said were Trumps reading literature. Hitlers stuff. A trunk full of it!!

    3. @deni g Very possible, all dictators are practically the same if you think about it. Plus trump sr was a German- übermensch ideas imbued with superior race complex and his grandfather was such an upstanding citizen the Germans didn’t want him back when he tried to return from America. A family of racist and anti-Semitic people through and through. But like Mary Trump pointed out, that’s not an excuse.

    4. @Kenneth Mcpherson actually ford pardoned Nixon for all crimes that he might have done after he got into office. it was really frowned upon by most people including republicans. So he could just pardon him for any and all crimes he might have done and it would clear him, although it would not remove the blemish it would remove any chance of a sentence. Of course that would also leave him free to testify without any 4/5th amendment protections against self incrimination……and they could FORCE him to testify then so I dont think trump will do it. just meanderings 😉 have a good evening.

    5. @Walter White After the Constitution requirements for succession are met, all Trumps orders are illegal orders.

  3. It’s too hot here in L.A. today to immerse myself in the details, so I’ll make it quick AND simple. How does one plead GUILTY and NOT be sentenced. I don’t mean deferred or delayed, or any OTHER thing, I mean NOT SENTENCED at ALL. What government DOES that?

    1. @El Darden Well yeah, I just wanted to put it out there RAW like the situation is. The REAL question is, will we STEP UP, vote, and send donna j. trump on up the road?

    2. @David Jimenez Thanks sooooo much for that. You are absolutely right….no point in fighting frustration and chaos all this time and NOT go dance at the party in November. I’ll be the OLD Fart wearing a blue suit, blue shirt and tie, blue suede shoes and a two-dimple crown, navy blue Fedora….bringing the grandkids too!

    3. @gypsymama YOU……have made my day. Kindness like yours is hard to come by.
      Thank you very, very much.

  4. Flynn and Stone BOTH will end up in prison… traitor-trump CANNOT pardon or trade commutation for their silence… they were all co-conspirators.

    1. Well hey… it took time, but eventually we nailed O.J. Simpson and likewise, we will nail Flynn, Stone, Trump and the rest of the goons. if we don;t get them for their current crimes, then it’s just a matter of digging and digging until they can be charged with something else in the future. Tax evasion, perhaps.

    2. @Cartoonishly Inept dude, stop watching FOX it only has an entertainment license, not a news license.

      Funniest part of what you say: 
      “The thing he ‘lied’ about was something from a meeting to which the agents had the transcript. And the question was irrelevant to any investigation since they already knew the answer…. since they had the transcript that’s entrapment.”

      😂🤣That’s not entrapment, the police are allowed to lie about what they know. That’s every FBI interview ever. Oy ve – how do you think they catch criminals in a lie? By asking them a question they already know the answer to.

    3. @Leah Archambault i mentioned kim for satire and to point out the hypocrisy in trump opposition.
      I am not using her point of view to inform me.
      The link i posted contains fbi documents in it.
      The evidence i provided is fbi documents.
      Everything i have said is 100% verifiably.
      The fbi agents that interviewed flynn did not think he lied.
      McCabe is the one that decided later that he had lied. Ig Horowitz found that McCabe lied to the fisa court to go after carter page. So anything he touched needs to be scrutinized.
      This is the link i posted before has nothing to do with kim.
      https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/new-evidence-turned-over-flynn-shows-doj-doubted
      These are close door testimony from the house intel comity on the russia probe.
      https://www.dni.gov/index.php/features/2753-53-hpsci-transcripts
      Start with susan rice she is the one that says biden brought up the logan act to go after flynn and his son. She also said that she found out about flynn being investigated from obama.
      The rest of them are good too. Clapper, brennan, yates, powers, mccabe all testified that they had no evidence that trump colluded with russia during top secret testimony under oath then they all went out and said they had evidence on every fake news program they could.
      You will also notice that adam schiff was there for everyone of these. He presided over these testimony. He hid them from the public and he lied about what he was hearing in those closed door sessions.
      I have now provided you with actual government documents that prove msnbc is propaganda.
      Quit being a propaganda puppet.

    4. @Leah Archambault The entire purpose of the meeting was to trick Flynn into lying about something to get him fired. The thing he ‘lied’ was some obscure fact, he had no reason to lie about it, he just didn’t remember properly.

      _”how do you think they catch criminals in a lie?”_
      Flynn had already been cleared of any suspicion when they asked for this meeting. There was no crime and the FBI knew it, they were just out to get him personally.

  5. Flynn signed an admission of guilt on “conspiracy” (treason) charges. He had $550,000 of foreign $$ in his bank accounts! The DOJ dropped that charge if Flynn pleaded guilty to LYING! The judge went ballistic on Flynn at the sentencing hearing. He said the word “treason” out loud. Flynn was told to go back and spill more beans to the DOJ or get big jail time. Conspiracy is now BACK on the table!

    1. Certainly Trump told Flynn to talk to the Russkies. Flynn wouldn’t do it on his own. FBI has recordings. FBI want Flynn to tell the whole truth, but Flynn would risk prison time rather than rat on his buddy Trump. That’s why Trump will do all he can to shield Flynn. It’s v. similar to the Stone imbroglio. Stone even bragged that he didn’t reveal the truth to the court.

  6. Years from now, documentaries will be made about Trump’s presidency that will look like the history of a crime syndicate instead of a presidential administration.

    1. @Atticus X Uh… you seem to be very confused, Bud. It’s Trump that is a clown and a laughing stock around the world. It’s because of Trump that the entire country has lost status and the respect of world leaders. It’s you Trumpturds and your lying, moron boss that have made a once-great America an international joke.

    2. ​@SirScrodoTBaggins … Yes … The Russian’s leaked the calls revealing the Obama Administration caused a violent, bloody coup in Ukraine and inserted a puppet government a stone’s throw away from Moscow … and you talk of the Russian’s undermining democracy – do you even pause for a breath to see the hypocrisy?

      If we had evidence that the Russian’s had undermined our election in such a way you don’t think we would reveal it to the world. I mean, the Dems did try with their Mueller investigation – but all that amounted to was revealing that a small Russian Troll farm spent what amounted to peanuts on FaceBook Adds.

    3. I’m hoping the first documentaries of wilful criminality of Barr/Trump will be seen next year.
      But you’re right, there’s going to be hundreds and hundreds of them. The best to look forward to will be following their court cases and convictions.

  7. I’m certain he’s still on the pardon list, but a big thanks to the judge who just wouldn’t give up. It also embarrassing for Barr trumps henchman. A country where our leaders are at least being exposed .

    1. This is easily remedied: stall the case until after Trump is removed from office. No pardon for Flynn.

    1. @SPZ Aruba How anyone could only respond with name calling instead of reality, logic or reason is beyond me 🙂

    2. @Dale Hartley It’s called the left. The their minds left for a reason.

      Because they have social media overlords in their media bubble telling them what and how to think.

    3. ……..that is not a good idea cause this is just a few of Trump’s accomplishments:

    4. @Gene Shimer Our entire culture is a lie.We are like an Israel.Totally fake.All of our institutions are about appearances.I don’t hate the place at all or I wouldn’t be here.I just don’t drink the kool aid.

  8. They need to wait until the criminal-in-chief is out of office so he doesn’t start abusing his pardon power again.

    1. @Ted G Wasn’t Flynn the cheerleader of the “LOCK HER UP” movement?” All the while committing crimes himself and now you ask us why we are out to get him???? LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

  9. ” There are 3 things that cannot be hidden. The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth” – Buddha. 🙂

  10. Help me out here; did Lt Gen Flynn and Lt Col Vindman serve in the same army. Their respective behaviour would indicate otherwise.

  11. General Flynn is a disgrace. He has brought dishonor to his uniform, the armed forces, and his family.

    1. Our great leader, President Trump was correct to call for the execution of people who do what General Flynn did, just like in the old days. That would really own the Libs!

    2. @mc1dash1b right TREASON IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. SO THE WHOLE OF THIS ADMIN AND MANY R SENATORS WILL GET FIRING SQUAD.
      IT WILL HAVE BIGLY RATINGS

  12. The more and more unhinged t’rump becomes and the more and more Barr outright defies the rule of law…the more and more the courts are going to say, “Nope, not acceptable. Time to right all their incompetent wrongs.”

  13. Russia and Trump is one of the same people,why is he running our world into the ground….. Putin got something on him…big time.

    1. Putin to Trump: “Comrade Trump! Win your election, or else!!” Once Trumpy is out of office all kinds of interesting info will come out regarding the Trump Regime, oops I mean “”administration.”

    2. What a shame that in 3 1/2 years Trump still hasn’t gotten those sanctioned lifted. I bet if he goes down, Putin will spill the beans on Trump.

    3. @canadianperspective – Ah…a girl can dream! We probably know most of it. I’m broke, but I’d pay good $$ on pay per view to watch him dragged out of our White House!

    1. That’s when i started calling him traitor trump. He is just that. My father didn’t work for naval intelligence for 30 years for this “TRAITOR” to discount these dedicated federal agencies and employees. And take Putins bold face lie over the educated opinions of his own country and its dedicated federal intelligence employees. Traitor trump kisses Putin but.

  14. TOO BAD EVERY AMERICAN DOESN’T HAVE A FRIEND LIKE TRUMP, PLEAD GUILTY CHANGE YOUR MIND, TRUMP WILL PROBABLY PARDON YOU!!!!

    REGISTER TO GET YOUR MAIL IN BALLOTS!!!!
