Mike Flynn's about to be center stage

Obama Admin Approved General Flynn Calls with Russian Ambassador
"On Friday, Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about making contact with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the transition period. In a stunning twist, the Trump White House revealed to CNN that the calls were approved by the Obama administration." . . . 

Does Mike Flynn’s Guilty Plea And Testimony Really Make Any Difference?  
. . . "If the direction took place before the election then we still don’t know if it is significant. If Flynn was sent off to the Russians to tell them to hack Hillary’s email and send Facebook spam to 50 million white nationalists to motivate them to vote for Trump then it is significant. If Trump told Flynn to open a communications channel to the Russians he’d be doing what basically every candidate does." . . .

 . . . "The other problem is it could be setting the stage for an obstruction of justice charge.
"The way the Feds who are on a witch hunt get to obstruction of justice is this: Comey suggested Trump obstructed justice and was fired soon after. If Trump indeed prompted Flynn to engage in talks with Russia, it might mean he was aware that Flynn lied to the FBI about his discussions with the Russian ambassador. Flynn’s cooperation could very well provide Mueller with the evidence he needs to nail Trump on an obstruction charge, which is an impeachable offense. "There is no proof or even evidence so far." . . .

Rush Limbaugh Brilliantly Explains Why Flynn’s Guilty Plea Shows Mueller Has NOTHING on Trump (AUDIO)

The Gateway Pundit   “Speculation of Flynn now cooperating with Mueller’s investigation stirred in recent days due to reports that Flynn had pulled out of a join defense agreement or common interest arrangement to share information with other subjects of the investigation,” said Limbaugh

“ 'But there is nothing unusual about that. Once again, the lack of understanding by the drive-by media reporters — oh — Flynn’s pulling out of the joint agreement to share information, that means he’s getting ready to flip.”

“ 'No, it meant he was getting ready to make a deal with the prosecutor, as such, it becomes unethical for the two lawyers or teams to communicate with each other when one of the people involved is going to cop a plea,” Limbaugh said.

“ 'There was nothing unusual about this, and didn’t mean anything other than Flynn was getting close to make a deal,”

"Limbaugh then expertly explains why Flynn’s guilty plea is nowhere near are damaging as the mainstream media would like people to believe." . . .

Flynn Ready To Testify That Candidate Trump Told Him To Reach Out To Russians. Wait! This came in...

UPDATE: Obama Admin Approved General Flynn Calls with Russian Ambassador  "On Friday, Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about making contact with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the transition period.

Just In! Flynn Will Testify Against Trump, Trump’s Family  . . . "He will testify that President Trump ordered him to make contact with the Russians. Flynn will also reportedly testify against Trump’s family.

"That isn’t a problem in of itself but Trump has said all along he did not tell him to contact Russians but would have done so if he had known.

"Trump said he didn’t ask Flynn to discuss sanctions with Russia. Trump’s son, Donald Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner are also implicated in Russia’s interference efforts though, so far, there’s no proof.

Daily Wire

"On Friday, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about speaking with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in order to convince Kislyak to lay off of backlash against new sanctions on Russia in the waning days of the Obama administration. He apparently escaped charges with regard to financial payments from foreign sources, including the Turkish government, which led people to believe that he would flip on other members of the Trump administration.
"And that appears to be the case. Flynn says he will now testify against other members of the administration.
"Flynn had resisted doing so for months, given his close ties with the Trump administration. But he apparently felt abandoned by the administration in recent weeks, thanks to “mounting legal debts and plans to sell his house to help defray costs,” according to ABC News." . . .
"That isn’t grounds for a collusion charge – having contact with the Russian government does not mean that actual information exchanged hands with the goal of influencing the election. Campaigns regularly have outreach with other nations’ leadership.
"However, the fact that Flynn’s charges are so light suggests that he may in fact have dirt to spill. Otherwise, we’re looking at special counsel Robert Mueller charging Flynn in a Scooter Libby scenario – charging him for the lies rather than any underlying crime, in an attempt to rope others into charges for lying to the FBI rather than any underlying crime." . . .

The White House responds  . . . “ 'The false statements involved mirror the false statements to White House officials which resulted in his resignation in February of this year,” Cobb said in a statement released to reporters. “Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn. The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.' ” . . . .

Twitter users unleash #BoycottSanFrancisco as payback for Kate Steinle verdict

Washington Examiner

Sgt---USMC tweeted:

"Time to #BoycottSanFrancisco #BoycottSF & make sure they #RememberKate! Why boycott?

1) Outrageous Taxes (to support illegals)

2) Liberal Cesspool

3) Overrun by illegals (who can do no wrong)

4) Might get murdered by illegals

5) if murdered by illegals, no one will be punished

Weasel Zippers reports:

Thousands of Twitter users on Friday were urging people to #BoycottSanFrancisco after a jury there decided Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a five-time deported Mexican man charged with shooting and killing Kate Steinle, was not guilty.
The Boycott San Francisco hashtag began trending on Twitter Friday morning as people vowed not to travel there or buy goods or services produced in the city.
San Francisco is a sanctuary city, which means local law enforcement ignores federal laws that would otherwise mandate cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, on issues such as telling federal authorities when illegal immigrants are being held.
The city’s sanctuary policy came under scrutiny during the trial because it allowed Zarate to be released from jail without federal agents learning of his release, which left them unable to detain him so he could be deported for a sixth time for illegally entering the U.S.

Mike Flynn in the news: first report

"It’s so unjust, in fact, that I sincerely doubt that’s “all there is.” The New York Times and other outlets are reporting that Flynn is expected to plead guilty to this single charge. A plea deal would broadcast to the world that Flynn is now likely cooperating with prosecutors"

The Michael Flynn Charge: Monstrous Injustice or Prelude to Bigger Things?   "There’s not much middle ground here. In reading the single-count criminal information against Michael Flynn, I was struck by an immediate thought. If this is all there is, then Flynn is the victim of a monstrous injustice. If not, then brace yourselves. We’re still only seeing the tip of the Mueller investigation iceberg. First, read the information here:

"The sharp-eyed reader will note that Flynn is being charged with lying to the FBI about activity that isn’t criminal. While it’s not uncommon for defendants to be charged with lying to the FBI during investigations of underlying crimes (rather than being charged with the crime itself), here Flynn is charged with lying to the FBI about contacts with the Russian ambassador during the transition period between the Obama and Trump administrations. While some zealots may scream about the Logan Act, only the most strained (and likely unconstitutional) reading of the law would bar a member of incoming administration from conferring with a foreign power about matters that directly relate to the conduct of that administration’s foreign policy. In other words, it looks like Flynn lied about contacts that, at worst, were mildly politically embarrassing. Now he faces imprisonment and disgrace. If that’s all there is, then it’s terribly unjust." . . .

National scold Elizabeth Warren “never was Native American except … where it would advance her versus other people”

Legal Insurrection  . . . "With Warren back in the news because of Trump calling her Pocahontas, Dan invited me back on the show to explain to listeners the story of Elizabeth Warren’s Native American problem. So many people now only know soundbites about it they hear from the mainstream media.

"I spend an “hour” with Dan on Tuesday night, November 28, 2017. The first few minutes dealt with whether calling Warren Pocahontas is a racial slur (it’s not, but it’s also not a term I use), and then my mini-lecture on the Warren Native American story starts at the 9:00 mark. The listener calls start at the 23:00 mark.

The audio is here, and also embedded below.

"I mention the first post I ever wrote about Warren supposedly being Native American, and how the title of the post expressed my shock, Elizabeth Warren is what?

"I also mentioned how Warren’s campaign admitted to me that she filled out her law school directory forms as Native American, Confirmed – Elizabeth Warren knowingly self-identified as Native American on law association forms. and Elizabeth Warren claims listed herself as minority to meet people, but story doesn’t hold up.

"It’s too long for me to transcript the entire show, so here are some excerpts:

“That’s the key thing, she improved her chances [of being hired at a top law school]. In order to know whether it made a difference, we would have to see her hiring file, and she has never authorized, and Harvard and Penn have never released her hiring file, because that’s where you would find the information.”

* * *

“The fact that she went to Rutgers [Law School] to me is neither here nor there. Because if she were sufficiently accomplished, if she had the publications history, if she had all the other credentials, that wouldn’t necessarily hold her back. But that didn’t give her the right to juice her resume by calling herself a minority when she wasn’t a minority. That’s the offensive thing ….”

 . . .  "Here’s the full audio. Can you handle a full hour of me?"

If Warren loses the late-night hosts, she is in deep do-do. Watch her reaction here:

. . . "At least Maher’s comment, as cutting as it was, was cryptic.

"Trevor Noah, however, just explained to his audience what the real issue is as to the Pocahontas controversy, and it wasn’t in Warren’s favor. While there was plenty of Trump bashing by Noah, he exhibited an understanding of Warren’s Native American deception that rarely is seen in the popular media." . . .

Who Is Mocking the Pence Rule Now?

"We live in any age of transgendered restrooms, where transgendered athletes like Caitlyn Jenner are given courage awards by sports channels like ESPN. Harder work is done and truer courage shown every day by those who get married, stay married, stay in the body God gave them and withstand the mockery of a society that considers such people as fossils on the verge of extinction."

Daniel John Sobieski  . . . "Vice President Mike Pence was roundly mocked for his rule that he would not travel, meet, or dine alone with a woman other than his wife. He saw that the best way not to be led into temptation is to not lead yourself into it and it is hard to get into trouble if the only woman you find yourself alone with is the woman you married, the mother of your children. That did not sit well in the age of gay marriage, transgendered people, and cohabitation as if marriage came with a warranty and was a commodity you could exchange if you were later not pleased:

Vice President Mike Pence was roundly ridiculed when it was revealed that he makes an effort never to be alone with a woman who is not his wife, but the policy is looking less prudish and more sensible as accusations of sexual misconduct against powerful men proliferate.

 . . .
"Moral fortitude and a healthy fear of human weakness was not shared by Hollywood and television moguls and liberal politicians who, while looking away from the Sodom and Gomorrah in their midst, mocked Pence as a prude who was merely trying to hide his inner predator. They were led by the profane ad from an unhinged Steven Colbert:"
. . . 
"Do the Colberts of the world want to live in a Weinstein/Lauer world where there are no rules and no restraints on our behavior, or in a world where the Pence rule reigns, based on a set of rules established two thousand years ago by the highest authority on such things?"
Well said, Mr. Sobieski, and thank you. TD
