    1. Enrique So the FBI was on the moral high ground when they tapped his phone and then were closing the case because no evidence was found against him only to be held up by Strzok.

    1. @bUH sNUHleft or right you all sheeple under the spell of your masters ! Keep spreading the hate and lies, the country apart ! Can’t wait to see it , many meat puppets in this world

  1. *I’m shocked that people are shocked that this happens for once you see some loyal amount criminal element of society*

  2. they have stolen the judicial branch, the executive branch… and half the legislative branch… there is no recourse but revolution at this point.

    1. You are so right. Something drastic has to happen. Its a re-enactment of Hitlers kangaroo Justice coming to life again after 80 years!

    1. @Computer World DON’T DRINK BLEACH AND STICK LYSOL UP YOUR AZZ, DON’T LIE TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OR F.B.I. , DON’T PLED GUILTY TWICE , GET IT NOW STUPID!

    2. I don’t disagree that Flynn should go to Prison. But the Judge had limited power when the prosecutor seeks to dismiss his case.

    3. Tony Johnson LMFAO!!!!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST HAVE BROKEN IN YOUR DWELLING PLACE AND PUT YOUR CAPS LOCK ON!!!!! CANT STAND IT WHEN HE DOES THAT!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!! YOU ARE LITERALLY CLOWN SHOES!!!!! HOPEFULLY ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TO LEARN THAT JUSTICE ISN’T ALWAYS BLIND AND PEOPLE THAT DON’T BOTHER TO READ THE INFORMATION FOR THEMSELVES THEN THEY ARE JUST A PARIOT OR A HORSE WITH BLINDERS ON BEING LED AROUND WITH ZERO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT!!!!! U DO KNOW THAT THE INTERNET EXISTS AND U CAN LITERALLY LOOK ANYTHING YOU WANT UP AND FIND THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN ON ANY SUBJECT YOU WISH TO RESEARCH…… LAZY….. SO SAD!!!!!

  3. Is there really any question as to whether the Republicans are going to cheat in the 2020 election?

    1. @Protect Animals Their dogma tells them so. Thats it. Its become a religion at this point.

    2. That’s why democratic states are rushing for mail in ballots and no voter id. Makes sense. Look up some history on who most 100-115 year olds that passed away vote for. Why won’t MSNBC actually discuss the transcripts and the statements of multiple Democrats under oath saying that there was no collusion found.

    3. @Allyloo Lacy can you give me some of your sources for that claim?
      Voter ID happens at registration. The commission started after Trump got into office closed finding no evidence of voter fraud, even though it was run by a Trump sycophant.

    1. @David Gainey yep soon as the Democrats take the Senate and Joe fires Barr half the trump administration will be seeing officers from the FBI be interesting just how many Republicans will go down

    1. @Dingo Nuts Except in reality he did plead guilty in the courts and ended up taking a plea deal for less time. Trump* even twirted that he fired him for lying to Pence* and the FBI. If you or I lied to the FBI it is a maximum of 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It doesn’t even matter, what he lied about. He admitted that he did, and that is why he should remain in jail.

    1. How are they crooked? Your comment is basically a “god is good” comment, its an ideological affirmation. Its basically vapid.

    2. @Peggy Gheta thats fine, I am saying your opinion is vapid. Its not even really an opinion but a statement of faith.

    3. @Jack Crow Wow! Ok then, that’s my statement and I’m sticking to it. Here’s another statement…can’t wait to see this evil administration leave before they ruin this country and turn it into another Russia and don’t bother responding to my “statement”.

    1. Yep – not a single Obama appointee testified there was any evidence Trump colluded with Russia. So Stiff, lets have that info you have?

    2. @Bobby Bittman That would be them. Originally, Stiff would not release them.

      Later in the day, I found it interested that Rick Grenell took a bunch of documents over to the Justice Department.

      Clapper, Susan Rice and others all said, they saw no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia but their public statements were far different.

  4. Just goes to show, that you guys have been lieing all along. Just as the 7th floor have been lieing.
    Read the transcripts.

    1. Ya, what happens to the seventh floor? Many they wanted to get a jump on the mass quarentine.

    1. @Allyloo Lacy Maybe Flynn should have been honest about all his foreign dealings then. Maybe you can answer why Flynn wasn’t so forthcoming about all those foreign contacts and work for foreign countries…

    2. Craig Crawford again… FACTS where are your facts? There are facts posted have you even attempted to read them and then interpret them for yourself. Opinion is fine, but should be based on facts. There’s a reason the Congress couldn’t impeach based on Russia because it was found that the Hillary campaign paid for the Steel Dossier and the “Russian Spy” wasn’t a Russian spy. She was a UK citizen that worked at Cambridge as a historian professor that was proven to never have even been a spy.

      And why do the notes in the file say “Do we get Flynn to lie or get him fired?” .

      FACTS

    3. Craig Crawford here is a great interview with the “Spy” if you are curious https://youtu.be/QL7X1_3YHQM again, you don’t have to believe anything just do a little more research on the people involved and what was said under oath based on evidence versus what they said on mainstream media

    1. hellovanite 😂 Make sure you have good grammar before you call someone stupid. 😂 Americans don’t care about the opinions of foreigners so go away. Lol

    2. Anushka Mudalige Then who is forcing you to stay here? If you hate it here that much or you are that miserable then leave. Nobody is going to miss you anyway

    3. Jeanne 54 LMFAO!!!!!! Thank you for that comment Jeanne 54 (that 54 MUST stand for your current LEVEL as a , ‘Master of the Comedic Arts’) because you are a COMEDY GENIUS Jeanne!!! Here people thought that Libs/Dems were about as funny as a bag of charcoal and here you are TOTALLY PROVING THEM WRONG!!! Thanks again for that Breath of Pure unadulterated comiDIC genius!!!!! After this China flu is done and AS SOON AS u can travel, take that act on the road!!!!

  5. Who needs cable when all you need, is to listen to Mr. Imbleached open his mouth? Entertaining enough…

  6. “having quickly or easily achieved a goal or gained access as desired”

    They were “In Like Flynn” phrase will need to be adjusted.

    In Trump and Barr’s honour (sic)

    They Got Out Like Lt General Michael Flynn. Not quickly nor easily; but egress was gained.
    They were out like Flynn. I sigh

  7. MSNBC News “Correction” The FBI document release also showed that the FBI had already tapped Flinn’s phone and had a written transcript of his telephone call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and stated on the documents that no Interview was required. However, later the Perjury Trap was set-up to trip-up Flynn on dates and times of his conversions. FACT!!! – Report All The Truth MSNBC.

  8. And to think, we’re just now finding out
    about the young man in Georgia, eliminated, senselessly, while they slow
    crawl an investigation, it’s on video, no
    matter, trump’s on video, so is pence
    after he plead guilty, our brain’s have
    dismissed themselves to our lower
    intestines, while we fight the ongoing
    Hemmoroidal Ooozzzeee.
