General Michael Flynn, the 33 year war hero who has served with distinction, has not retained a good lawyer, he has retained a GREAT LAWYER, Sidney Powell. Best Wishes and Good Luck to them both!
Textbook dangling a pardon
This, combined with the audio recording of Dowd’s call with Flynn, is a blatant signal to Flynn and could amount to obstruction of justice. The brazenness of Trump doing this on Twitter is possible because there have been no consequences to any of the other crimes he’s committed. https://t.co/iZnT7PknXA— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) June 13, 2019

They'll argue their replacement will be worse. This is a pleasant lie they tell themselves.
They are powerless and enabling the destruction of our nation at his hands.
- 3/ They have become honorless, fearful men defending an honorless man. The "conservative" Trump commentariat will defend it with their usual pathetic moral and mental gymnastics, bleating about "but Obummer and Killary." A hard editorial "no" is the only response. None will.81 replies1,541 retweets8,049 likes
- 4/ The "Justice" Department is utterly corrupted by Barr, and will do fuck-all nothing. No one in the GOP Senate will say shit. They should. In the House, the GOP Clown Caucus will run around with their dicks hard, roaring approval for pwning da libs with foreign intel.105 replies1,600 retweets8,071 likes
- 5/ The President of the United States today invited an attack on this nation. He welcomed it. He begged for it, like a cur begging for treats. If we survive this, he'll be remembered first with derision, then with disgust, then with horror.282 replies3,878 retweets13,365 likes
6/ He's asking for our politics to be truly unbounded and for all sides to go weapons-free.
He's an agent of chaos and lawlessness.
This will not end well.
"Chao’s designation of Inman as a special intermediary for Kentucky — a privilege other states did not enjoy — gave a special advantage to projects favored by her husband, which could in turn benefit his political interests."
