"When you have your staff taking the Fifth Amendment, taking the Fifth so they are not prosecuted, when you have the man that set up the illegal server taking the Fifth, I think it is disgraceful." — Donald J. Trump
 
I wonder what the endgame for him is? Keep his mouth shut and take the contempt of congress charge, bargain for immunity, stall for time?

He's clearly at risk for submitting false documentation (omitting his work and payments for Turkey). He wants immunity so he won't face time for that. I'm pretty sure the disclosure document he signed was under the penalty of perjury.

From the article:
"Failure to follow rules seems to be Flynn’s modus operandi. As I’ve written before, Flynn apparently installed a forbidden internet connection in his Pentagon office, allegedly gave classified information to NATO allies without authorization, and reportedly snuck out of the CIA station in Iraq when he deemed the required approval too “insane” for him to seek."

The irony is pretty thick here.

I'm fine with locking him up.

That said, the Obama administration didn't choose to prosecute him for the apparent forbidden internet connection and alleged transmission of information to NATO allies.

Obama did a lot of things to sabotage the incoming administration. I don't see why Trump would believe him.

I lost my benefits when I retired from OSEA...all of them...then I applied in the marketplace and got insurance again...I know you keep saying you lost what you had.....in the past when that happened to me, I would sell an expensive guitar or something to cover it....hell Marz....you've got a million dollar boat. That's a lot of medical care...sucks to have to but that's life.....I've had to sell things all my life off and on to cover extra expenses that were unexpected. I think there's a simple solution but doctors, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are not going to lower prices which is what we'd have to do to start.

VA care is one of the programs that will loose a ton of money to make up for tax cuts for the wealthy along with a whole lot of programs for the needy...I'm hoping my 83 year old paralyzed client doesn't loose his care in the line of fire.

That's right! And the assholes had no reason to interferer with the healthcare of millions of people. WTF it was almost a threat, drop those people, it's legal now. Or else pay a big fucking tax!!

Why the hell didn't they report how many lost their healthcare that way? Hell man, nobody needs the government fucking them up that way! Rightfully earned compensation for 30 years work,
destroyed by a fools grand plan. Show me the fucking authorization in the Constitution.

If it's so bad to drop someone from their health insurance, why do you support Trump? He wants to remove health insurance from millions of people (24 million at last count).

Or is it only bad when it happens to you?

Man, that post might have been made by and intellect competitive with a stump. You now equate healthcare which is part of a persons compensation for years of work as the same as
a freebie from the government? I leave you to it.

I and my wife had healthcare as part of my retirement benefits. I also am in the VA healthcare system as a class 3 veteran.

So your answer is yes, it's only a problem when it happens to you.

And you wonder why no one is sympathetic to your plight.

Don't show your ignorance barf, I don't want your fucking sympathy. I would like you guys to be aware of how your boy screwed millions of people out of their due compensation for years of work.
I will allow though, that you may not be capable of comprehension.
