Grasping at straws. When the subject of the investigation (Trump) is dead to rights, the only way to try to defend is to either deflect (what about the Democrats!) or try to discredit the media, investigators, and judges.
Michael Flynn was facing decades in jail for the crimes he committed. So far he has a plea deal that will give him 0 to 6 months in prison, and many are saying it will probably be 0. He isn't getting that deal because Mueller is a softie. He's getting that deal because he has big dirt on someone...someone higher up, and there was a direct line from Flynn to Trump.
Trump knows it too which is why he is still saying nice things about him. "I feel badly for General Flynn..." BS. He doesn't give a crap about anyone other than himself and his immediate family. He is saying that in hopes that Flynn will not spill all the beans. Too bad...beans will be (and likely already have been at least a little bit) spilled.
Trump should have left well enough alone. He was involved in shady dealings with Russia through Deutche Bank, Russian Oligarchs, and perhaps also through Cypress (Wilbur Ross is in big trouble). Someone with such a criminal past should have been smart enough not to run for President. Arrogance and utter stupidity made him do it. He will pay the price.
Trump is done.
On that note, whats up with the Deutche Bank subpoena and investigation? Have not heard much lately.
Mueller and his team have been very good (not perfect) about keeping a lid on things. We didn't hear much about how the Flynn investigation was going either until the day it was announced he was going to admit guilt to lying to the FBI...something Mueller would not have let him ONLY do if he didn't have other major stuff on others.
I am not impatient. I BELIEVE that Trump won't last the entirety of his first term, but I could be wrong about that. As long as the long arm of the law gets him (and I believe it will), I will be pleased...because those who abuse power deserve to be held accountable...and that goes for Democrats too. If my own mother colluded with Russia or was involved in money laundering, I would want her to pay the price.
Justice will be served.
Trump is done.
