2. I replied to this ABC news story on another website

And my reply was "HOLY COW!!!".

[Zoonart]

8. You are not kidding.

Kaka...meet fan!

[janx]

9. Yep.

This so-called president is nothing but a traitor.

[BadgerMom]

25. And so are the Congressional and Senatorial Republicans.

They’re ready to ignore his treasonous behavior and upend American life and democracy in their quest for unending power and donor dollars. They are detestable, every one of them.

Sorry. I needed to expel that negativity this morning.

[DBoon]

28. I bet they did more than ignore tresonaous behavior

I bet many were actively complicit

[BadgerMom]

29. Agreed.

[riversedge]

24. I recall that from grump old men movie. I think Trump is going to be a grumpy old man. te he

[NastyRiffraff]

3. WHOA!!!

Mueller ain't playing. I thought Flynn's cooperation had to be complete. The one count of false statements to the FBI is a serious charge, yes, but Mueller has a LOT more he could charge Flynn with.

The next month (and beyond) are going to be very interesting indeed.

[herding cats]

4. This is huge.

This is the link that will take down Trump.

[YessirAtsaFact]

19. This is exactly why Cheeto head

Asked Comey to curtail the investigation of Michael Flynn and why he fired Comey.

Flynn could link him directly to Russia

[Girard442]

5. To paraphrase Kelsey Grammer's speech to his sub crew in "Down Periscope"...

..."If this news is as good as it sounds, we might even survive."

[democrank]

6. Someone is in big, freaking trouble.

Believe me.

[LakeArenal]

11. He's the best traitor. Bigly treason.

[janx]

16. Tremendous treason! n/t

[mobeau69]

7. "He's prepared to testify against Trump and members of the Trump family"

I like it a lot!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - ABC News reported on Friday that former U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn is prepared to testify that President Donald Trump directed him to make contact with Russians when he was a presidential candidate.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report, which cited a Flynn confidant. The news sent U.S. stocks sharply lower. [nL3N1O14E8]

Flynn, a former top Trump campaign aide and a central figure in a federal investigation into Moscow’s alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI.

His plea agreement, and his decision to cooperate with the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, marked a major escalation in a probe that has dogged Trump’s administration since the Republican president took office in January. ...................................

13. Chuck Todd (notwithstanding)...

just remarked on the irony of Mueller being in the job that he is today, stemming from Donald Trump pulling out the stops to try and get Comey to swear loyalty and intercede in order give Mike Flynn a pass. Comey refused, he was fired, and here we are.

[EllieBC]

14. I'm hoping for a December to remember!

This is the best gift ever!

[grantcart]

15. kick

[OldHippieChick]

17. This is not yet being verified by other networks, but

Brian Ross has a damn good reputation. Fingers crossed!

[janx]

18. Here's one. There are more.

20. Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

"Authorities indicate ex-Trump aide acted under instructions from senior transition officials"

[BigmanPigman]

21. Fucking A! (that means great).

Do not pass go, do not collect $100, go DIRECTLY TO JAIL! TREASON!
Next comes Jared, then the big cheese (cheeto) gets his.

[Habibi]

22. Dear god

I hope Flynn is protected from "accidents."

[ginnyinWI]

23. "over $1 million in legal fees, has had to put his house on the market..."

That is why. "For the good of the country" is secondary. I also read that it gets his son off the hook for Pizzagate.

[gordianot]

26. I wonder also how Pence will be linked including Manafort.

You would think there are scores to be settled by Flynn.

[C_U_L8R]

27. I think this bozo's mustache just wilted

[mobeau69]

30. Stick it, Ty.

[C_U_L8R]

31. Well, he'll always have a career in infomercials :-)

32. Locking....
