Stupid Watergate moves fast: Michael Flynn flips on Trump

US Politics

Michael Flynn has plead guilty to making false statements to the FBI. He's also reportedly testified that Trump directed him to make contact with Russians on behalf of the campaign. Probably goes without saying but this is huge. It was pretty obvious to everybody this administration has been breaking laws since day one, but now we have definitive proof.

The journalist who spread this fake news has now been suspended for lying.

@GBAer That information was posted a long time ago, at which point I updated my sources. The ABC reporter had it right in the first place anyway, Mueller's investigation simply isn't ready to show what they have on Trump yet. Flynn's plea deal requires he sing like a canary, and if he knew nothing, they wouldn't have given him a plea deal in the first place.

I do agree that information is old, but that doesn't clear Trump or anyone else that might be doing illegal stuff.

I really doubt Obama would get praise for belittling the FBI, especially from Trump supporters.

Several stories have broken after this in the Russia investigation as well. Flynn promised Russian sanctions would be "ripped up" in a quid pro quo exchange. Very likely Trump knew about this.
