Oh boy.....this might be "the crap hit the fan" time....

Statement from General Flynn's Attorney



Seeing that General Flynn also very much wants to tell his story, I very much want to hear it.

...

... and since the above statement from General Flynn's attorney Robert Kelner is in small font, I've typed it out for easier viewing:

"General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit.

"Out of respect for the Committees, we will not comment right now on the details of discussions between counsel for General Flynn and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, other than to confirm that those discussions have taken place. But it is important to acknowledge the circumstances in which those discussions are occurring.

"General Flynn is a highly decorated 33-year veteran of the U.S. Army. He devoted most of his life to serving his country, spending many years away from his family fighting this nation’s battles around the world. He was awarded four Bronze Stars for actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the war on terror. He received the Legion of Merit twice, and the Defense Superior Service Medal four times. He is a recipient of the Defense Department’s Distinguished Service Award and the Intelligence Community Gold Seal Medallion for Distinguished Service, as well as numerous other decorations.

"Notwithstanding his life of national service, the media are awash with unfounded allegations, outrageous claims of treason, and vicious innuendo directed against him. He is now the target of unsubstantiated public demands by Members of Congress and other political critics that he be criminally investigated. No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution."

Given that there are factions in DC who seem to be advocating for the overthrow of a leader who, hate him or love him, was elected fairly according to the constitutional rules, and voted for by 5/6 of America's counties, I don't blame Flynn for engaging in major CYA. The DC Left wants to topple Trump and they don't seem to care about collateral damage; if it takes demolishing Flynn or anybody else to get rid of Trump, well to them the ends justify the means.

What's REALLY scary about this is that the Left seems to have utterly convinced itself that America in 2017 is a banana republic during the Cold War where the CIA has just installed a right wing dictator who is hated by the people and that it's the duty of the Left to ride to the rescue and spark a popular uprising to depose the CIA stooge and install the "rightful winner" of the election.

I keep thinking of the 1986 revolution in the Philippines, where Ferdinand Marcos "won" a rigged election, then had to flee ahead of pitchfork bearing mobs, who then handed the presidency to Corazon Aquino. Aquino was Time Magazine's Person of the Year 1986. The American MSM LOVED her and the story in general.

So, it's 30 years later and the Left is convinced that Trump won in a similarly rigged election, and that the much beloved Hillary will soon be installed in the Oval Office as Trump flees the country in a panic aboard a Trump plane headed for Russia, where he will live in asylum as an honored guest of Putin...at least until Hillary wins a war against Russia and brings "freedom" to the poor oppressed Russians. Trump will then be brought to justice along with Snowden.

If the above sounds utterly batsh!t insane, that's because it is. But enough people in DC seem to believe in the reality of it.

the nature of how those Flynn leaks came to be is the story

Flynn was plotted against by factions in the government, the same factions that are plotting against Trump

Salon: Donald Trump thought immunity was a sign of guilt: A flashback to Trump on the campaign trail. When it came to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump's thoughts on immunity weren't what they are now

I would LOVE to hear what Flynn has to say.

Yep...definitely "cover your butt."

Trump might have been trying to put him under the bus. Flynn won't have any of that!

This is becoming more like Watergate every day. I lived through Watergate. I used to run home from school to watch the Watergate hearings.

"Michael Flynn Is Ready to Sing Like a Canary...Right After He Gets Immunity
Which is funny, because he recently suggested that immunity is for criminals."

Lock him up! Lock him up!

strawman

You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate.

Example: After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenceless by cutting military spending.
