DOJ IG Report Debunks Mike Flynn Hail Mary Defense Ahead Of Sentencing | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Lock him up!
Nixon drafted me.. I dodged artfully.
Lock him up! Traitor!
Flynn another one of Trump’s friends who is going to be a convicted felon. Cohen Manafort Stone and many more.
flynny is the one who start the “lock her up” chant about Hillary. Gotta love KARMA!
socal rocks What you are saying has been proven silly by IG report …
Entire Steele’s Dossier IG proven GARBAGE …seems fake news has lied to you again QUOTE (IG) We found that the team had speculated
that Steele’s prior reporting had been corroborated
We did warn you fake news was telling 1/2 truths
Bob Marshel heresy?
Bob Marshel evideance? Senete? Requirments? Are you okay?
Bob Marshel Keep up to date is what you should do, do I take information from you or the owners of Fusion GPS who explained who commissioned them. The Clinton campaign ended up with, yet never used it, despite how much of it has been confirmed as true. Still this has nothing to do with Flynn or any of the other convicted Trump associates.
Trump and Barr is working on his behalf, To get Mike out of a Sentence ! 😖
Flynn and Giuliani sitting in a tree.
K I S S I N G
First comes tRump, then comes treason, they colluded with Russia for all the wrong reasons!
After Watergate 48 Republikkkans went to prison. I can’t wait until all these Republikkkan traitors are locked up.
Lock them up!
Lock them up!
Lock them up!
Sounds good
I agree, Lock them all up.
ME TOO
Exactly!! These fascist treasonous f*ckers need to spend rest of their sorry lives in prison. And this includes the GOP in Congress lying for Traitor Trump and enabling his crimes and treason. Sad times for US republic. Putin is loving this.
I hope the judge throws the entire book at mike Flynn and his attorneys lying azzzes
@Dar Mar Flynn will be going to jail for sure so i dont really know why you said a pardon wasnt needed and NO heads will not be rolling at the DOJ,Maybe you didnt hear this yet but the trump appt I.G. found that the flynn investigation was legal and not politically bias. Sorry,thanks for playing .lol
@Dar Mar Stay tuned for your medication bro.Fltynn pleaded guilty so no,he wasnt framed. lol
@Dar Mar You mean the one that the trump appt I.G. just found to be credible and not politically biased that yeilded 10 counts of obstruction of justice? Its going pretty good. Flynns on his way to jail.
@Dar Mar Care to expand on how the dems framed someone genius?
I have faith in our FBI it’s the white house that’s corrupt so I knew the FBI were going to come out on top
Comey has destroyed all credibility in the FBI
@elroy the great
Only in delusional Trumplandia.🌼
The Judge will hopefully be throwing on a few extra years to Flynn’s Sentence for that stupid stunt, and wasting the Courts time and valuable resources.
Would any of us out here in comment land ever expect to have our sentencing delayed twice because simply – we weren’t “ready” to be sentenced? The privilege is staggering.
Well if your white old and rich it’s actually pretty normal…🤷🏾♂️
@Lennis Brown Cohen, Manafort & Stone are old, rich white guys whose behinds are in jail & their wait was in weeks, not years.
This is not to say that the system is fair to poor, young non-white people.
@Marie Light then the point of your response was what?
@Lennis Brown Rich, old white guys commiting crimes go to jail w/o delays, just like everybody else. I cannot explain what is happening w/ Flynn.
The guy is guilty. He has admitted his guilt. Just sentence him already.
@David Andresen Come on mr loud mouth dar mar,Why havent you answered yet sissy mary?
@Derezzed 666 You guys are soooo scared of biden huh?The guy told a few lies, TO THE FBI. Stop downgrading it. BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE HINDSIGHT IS 2020.
@Bruce Smith What? Once you plead guilty the negotiating is over my friend!! Your gonna want to negotiate BEFORE you plead.lol jeeeeez.Mueller hid what info bruce? Be specific and please tell me where is that info now?
that judge is going to be furious and has every right to be. ty dr maddow.
Delay tactics just got that right out of Trumps court house play book.
There will be a whole lot more Republicans going to jail before this is all over!
I HOPE
Peter Barber a plea deal but with some prison time is okay. no plea deal without doing some time…
From the look of things some republicans will be going to court for the rest of their natural lives.
Unless the orange pant load stays in place and pardons everyone of these dirtbags. We may no longer have justice as we no longer have a honest justice system. Never underestimate evil.
I hope so!
That’s a deliberate DELAYING TACTICS by his lawyer. That’s what you get when you side and defend TRUMP, YOU’RE ALL GOING TO JAIL WITH HIM.
Johnny Tampocao They ( Flynn and his lawyers) were counting on the IG report to come back denouncing the whole investigation. Allowing them to appeal etc etc. I’m glad that didn’t work out.
Hard to believe this traitor was really the head of national security at one point. Smh.
This administration is full of traitors
Well he is white old and rich soooo…….
No wonder Obama fired him
Flynn’s defense: I did something wrong, but I should not have been investigated. Lock him up with a hundred copies of “It Takes a Village”!
😂😂😂😂🤩🤩🤩🤩 yes!!!
If he get convicted I will send him a copy
@WAlkONRebel He’s already BEEN convicted. This is just a delay to his sentencing.
I bet he wished he hadn’t changed his plea and lawyers. He should have helped the security department just as the judge told him to last year.
I’m not sure this judge has any intention on putting him in jail for as long as he deserves. But we’ll see. I hope I’m wrong.
Flynn should be charged with Treason. He is guilty of Treason. They all are.
@Tony Smith That sentence makes no sense. Did you leave out a few words?
@James Jones Awesome facts. thank you james.
@Tony Smith Do you think you just made some kind of point about something?
@Tony Smith He was speaking about the facts in the public view meathead!!lol
@Tony Smith What truth are you talking about? We are waiting. Please be specific.
