  1. If you’re rich and the government makes a mistake, you’re set free.
    If you’re poor, you lose your freedom

    1. Poor people, not even guilty of the crimes with which they have been charged, are in prison right now because they pled out on the advice of overworked public defenders. They’re sitting ducks because of Covid-19, and because this administration doesn’t care. And Flynn walks as though he were a man morally entitled to be free.

    2. – or worst, get murdered by our very own Police force! There really is two different Justice system in America. One for the rich, powerful & politically well connected & one for poor, struggling & disadvantaged Americans. SAD!

    3. Up next the election and William Barr have take it over the frist time in America history that the AG is in charge of the result of the election. God help us all

    1. Who you tellin’? Without a doubt Barr has corrupted the Justice Dept. so much, I’m not sure how they’ll recover; even after Trump and his minions are expelled! He’s undermined the entire system by pointing fingers at the FBI, judges, and supposedly the liberal system! It doesn’t matter that he’s appointed more conservative judges than anyone in the history of the country with the help of McConnell, when they actually rule against him he loses his mind just a little but more each day! “Good luck people!” Normally I’d say time heals all wounds, but this is deep and it’ll take a generation to sort it all out! ;-(

    1. @Gypsy Wolf it’s not a dictatorship, the most hit states are run by democrats, if it wasn’t for Trump’s help NY would be a disaster but he gets no credit but you know the truth you just don’t want to believe it so you create illusions to satisfy your hatred towards him

    2. @Linda Witt the guy had to sell his house to pay his attorney fees. Strzoks latest notes show this was a total set up.

    1. Where’d this stellar reputation come from with Barr; even with others like Comey and Mueller? They’ll end up looking “weak as water” and won’t even be more consequential in the history books than “allowing” Trump to continue his reign of terror! ;-(

    1. He’s guilty of being a foreign agent without declaring it. He’s guilty of helping another power pervert out elections. But, as we’ve not been at war (officially) with the powers he worked with, it is not legally treason.

    2. @Mario Lopez Trump did ask China for help, but that is not treason, nor is it Flynn’s crime.

  2. Helsinki July 16, 2018.
    Trump: “My people came to me, Dan Coates came to me, and some others, they said they think it’s Russia,  I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia . I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be. I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.”

    On Nov 10 2016, during a White House meeting 2 days after Trump’s election, President Obama warned Trump about Flynn, but Trump proceeded with hiring Flynn anyway. Longtime Trump confidant Chris Christie also directly advised Trump against hiring Flynn.
    “If I were president-elect of the United States, I wouldn’t let General Flynn into the White House, let alone give him a job,” Christie said in 2017..

    The reason why Trump ignored the warnings about Flynn and his Russian ties are because Trump is a Russian asset too. And he admitted to it in Helsinki.

    Flynn’s lies to the FBI prompted the DoJ to warn Trump ONCE AGAIN about Flynn. On January 26, 2017, acting AG Sally Yates, personally informed the White House that Flynn lied to the FBI about his calls with Kislyak, and therefore was at risk of being blackmailed by Russia. But instead of immediately taking action against Flynn, Trump decided to reward Sally Yates for doing her job, and for her due diligence in warning him about Flynn, by firing her 3 days later. Let that sink in for a moment..

      That’s not the swamp!
      That’s sewage‼️
      And just like the”Poop Train” that
      Visits community to community,
      it will be a long lasting stench‼️

    2. Alisha Monique
      Reminds me of
      The fell that tried to sell me a rebuilt transmission
      that was full of bananas, instead of the proper fluid.
      Yo are so very,
      Correct, many of the professionals are retiring.
      However, they are brought back as Private contractors,
      Consultants, Engineers, Foresters, and managers of all striped
      Sites Closed down because there’s not enough inspectors
      to keep the system running.
      Meanwhile,
      Fat tsunamis waits in the sewers, Ready to explode,
      The sewage keeps on rising around the crockagator.
      And we see all those little things floating upon the surface
      Where they get fat, old, Dried out Cheatos and are
      Now exploding with the most horrific stench.
      Only to sink to the bottom clogging up the drain and the
      Magnificent malignant one, a narcissistic Orange Cheato
      Is dangling his feet in it.
      Only to take a break to enjoy his Golden Showers with Tzar Putin.

    1. Jose Gibilisco unless, of course, if you golf with DJT, friend (who has dirt on him), or one of his Republican cronies! It’s disgusting to see! What happened to law & order in USA?

  3. LOL! It’s great to see how well the checks & balances are working in the US. What a joke! This is the best plutocracy that money can buy.

    1. If Flynn was innocent why did he confess multiple times including in court to Judge Sullivan? Lying to the FBI was a gift charge anyway since he more charges which could have been made.

  4. Ah,
    Just like the smell of napalm in the morning air,
    There’s nothing quite like the stench of judicial corruptions.
    Our system is so, unbelievably fraudulent‼️

    1. A 3 star general that served this country for over 30 years who was framed… You are calling an innocent man “trash” because of your political ideology. YOU ARE THE TRASH!

    2. @Jordan Munk Flynn wasn’t framed; he fully admitted his guilt, so you’re not fooling anybody here. And, yeah, he IS trash.
