I know those on the left in the media are getting moist over this but there is really nothing new here as far as what we already knew. Flynn was let go for lying by the administration. He was only the NSA for 25 days. There is no evidence he did anything DURING the campaign.

Flynn, unfortunately, made some missteps that will tarnish a pretty solid career of serving his country for 30+ years, 5 of those being in combat operations.

In a written statement, Flynn said "it has been extraordinarily painful to endure these many months of false accusations of 'treason' and other outrageous acts."

However, he said, "I recognize that the actions I acknowledged in court today were wrong, and, through my faith in God, I am working to set things right. My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel's Office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions."

That is far more honesty that we normally get out of anyone on politics.

SSG Robert Webster - You are not off base. I know a guy (real story) who went to federal prison for 18 months for lying to the FBI. He lied about having a affair. How many folks would lie about that??? The FBI were going after bigger crimes that simply were not there. So they got frustrated and went with anything instead of letting it go.

Flynn pleading guilty to a lie tells me a lot. The Feds couldn't prove anything else and went with the last resort. The Flynn case is over. If Flynn actually gave up Trump then Flynn would have walked with no case against him.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Really? On the payroll of 2 foreign nations? You better start taking a look at those individuals holding seats in both chambers of Congress and what they are putting in the budget to support the bidding of foreign nations; and then we can go to those 'privileged' ass-hats in the State Department, and that is just for starters. After that we can go to the contracting offices of most if not all US governmental agencies. Why is the US Government purchasing foreign made or products from foreign owned entities? Why is the US Government out-sourcing government services to off-shore companies or off-shore units of companies that only have a small portion of their business (primarily intermediaries) in the US to establish presence only?
To give you a prime example - Do you know how much of IRS services are off-shored and out-sourced to India?
If you have not done that, then you do need to 'get over it.'

Capt Gregory Prickett - Greg, I don't think so. If he had real information I doubt he would have been forced to make a public guilty plea for lying to the FBI in court. How do you use someone as a witness that admits he lies under oath, not easy. I think he is getting nailed for his lying and his lack of proper filing for the lobbying he did in the past. I think Muller let him off easy for his years of service to the country. Time will tell but I don't see this one going anywhere but to him for what he did.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - "If you want to throw in with people who lied about numerous undisclosed contacts with Russians, and then, when exposed, changed their story to how there was nothing wrong with it, totally glossing over the fact they lied and obfuscated in the first place, I suppose that is your right."
Like I stated before, take a closer look at Congress and the State Department, and there is so much obfuscation that people are blinded to the simple facts.
Half of the information you need to see is in plain sight if you just open your eyes and look for it.

With the exception of lying to the FBI, even Leon Panetta, hardly a Trump defender, says it is a stretch to view Flynn and the Trump team as guilty of anything but breaking precedent for their Russian contacts after the election. Keep reaching liberals ... you still don't have dinkum.

Lots of time, lots of money, lots of pro-Dem lawyers, and all the special counsel can get is a retired spook for lying to law enforcement (FBI). If President-elect Trump told his presumptive National Security Advisor to talk with the Russians and many other foreign national representatives in preparation for assuming office, I don't see why that's illegal. As an American Citizen, fully endowed with Constitution Rights and not a government employee, it's not against the law to talk with representatives of foreign governments. It's illegal to lie to the FBI about it, admittedly.
Once again proving the cover-up is worse than the act itself.
