Former Trump administration National Security Advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to one count of lying twice to the FBI. The charges related to conversations Flynn held with Russia ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition before Trump took office.
The plea deal agreed to by Flynn confirmed the former top Trump official is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump campaign collusion with Russia.
In Flynn’s statement, he pushed back on “false accusations of ‘treason’ and other outrageous acts,” citing his 33 years of military service.
“My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel’s Office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions,” the statement went on.
Details of his cooperation agreement with the special counsel are not yet clear. Such an agreement is typically filed in written form and may shed light on what information he provided to investigators in exchange for leniency.
I do not know how it works in the United States. In common law countries Robert Mueller should be appointed as a Royal Commissioner and given a detailed comprehensive brief or commission and he is subject solely to Parliament. His integrity, investigative authority and freedom from interference is safeguarded. He is immune from prosecution as long as he acts in total good faith and absolute honesty and without fear bias or favour. That means he cannot be removed during his tenure unilaterally by the Government or Prime Minister of the day. Maybe someone can check whether similar rules and procedures apply to protect Robert Mueller in the United States context.
Mr Mueller has to prove his worth by arresting people and then the SCUM Mainstream Media jumps on it and it is off to the races. Nothing to see just move along!!
Lock up both Flynn and the Trumpeter.
