Who is really dirty?
Trump is shitting in his own nest again.
Trump said on Thursday his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was tormented by “dirty cops” as part of the probe into whether Russia helped Trump win the White House in 2016.
The president’s comments in the Oval Office, latest in a string of remarks about Flynn, may suggest that the retired general could be in line for a presidential pardon.
That is, Trump’s barfing out this sinister bullshit in the midst of a pandemic is probably a sign that he’s planning to pardon his dirty general.
Internal FBI documents turned over by the Justice Department on Wednesday showed FBI officials debated whether and when to warn Flynn that he could face criminal charges as they prepared for a January 2017 interview with him in the Russia probe.
They decided not to warn him that lying to them could mean criminal charges, and he lied to them, and the criminal charges happened.
Does that make him innocent?
It seems to me that, by the time you reach Flynn’s age and status, you should have figured out that lying to the FBI is not actually looked upon kindly. In fact, I learned before I could talk that lying is wrong. And lying can lead to very painful consequences.
Not to mention that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” is one of those rare aphorisms about the law that is fairly true.
You have to be some kind of stupid not to know that lying to the FBI could result in charges.
