Prosecutors with the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller say Flynn falsely stated to the FBI that he had not discussed sanctions with the then-Russian ambassador to the United States.
Flynn is the fourth person charged in connection with Mueller’s investigation.

The irony of it all is…
They were being arrogant by NOT doing the transition from D. C.
They did it from Trump Tower in NYC, which means that the AG of NY has oversight
And remember, the GOP, along with #45 are trying to shove that fuckery of a tax-scam bill down America’s throats.

Yes, Michael, because all those sexually deviant, predatory men in power would have been languishing in jail, if it weren’t for all those women they groped, intimidated, and god knows what else..

Is Flynn under witness protection program? Special handlers for drink and grub? Russians love to spice up their food and drinks with POISON, also , TOO!
If I were him I’d be eating sealed TV dinners from now until God knows when.
