The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

[Joe Bagadonuts]

The one law professor they could find to testify on Trump's behalf on impeachment. Shocker that he also takes the administration position on this one. Nope, def not a hack.

Not discussed in this article:

1. Flynn was an unregistered agent of Russia.

2. Flynn was an unregistered agent of Turkey

3. Flynn did the crime (Call with Kislyak)

4. Flynn lied when asked about it.

5. Flynn lied to the Vice President and Sean Spicer about the call.

What part of the evidence discussed in this article disproves any of the fundamental features of the case? What part of the legal argument in this article transforms Flynn's statements into truths? Did he lie when he plead guilty twice?

The article is hacky because it doesn't even engage major portions of the case. It's just a laundry list recitation of Flynn's defense attorneys' filings.

Among the things that you don't seem to be interested in discussing are the following:

1. The lead FBI agent (Peter Strzok) on this case has shown himself to be highly biased politically. His personal messages make it clear that he is not merely cheering for, but steering for specific outcomes in specific cases.

2. Calling Kislyak is not a crime (you said it was in point #3).

3. Recently released documents make the motivations and involvement of other players in the investigation seem extremely suspicious.

4. Flynn claims that the FBI threatened investigations into his son's affairs if he did not cooperate with Mueller. (I doubt any parent would want the FBI turning on their family members, regardless of what they had done.)

5. Mueller recommended that Flynn serve no jail time.

Again, why do you think he's taking it? I don't. Trump lies. Trump lies A LOT.

Very nice. It's almost like I fell in the in the hole as fast as his lips dragged him across the finish line.

How does this change any of the points I outlined?

Did Peter Strzok make Flynn be a foreign agent of Turkey and Russia? Did Peter Strzok make Flynn lie to Pence and Spicer? Did Peter Strzok make Flynn try to sell Gulen for $15 million to Erdogan?

Move to strike for relevance.

2. Calling Kislyak is not a crime (you said it was in point #3).

I don't need to get into Logan act stuff. The call is the predicate fact that is necessary for him to lie. There's no dispute he did it.

3. Recently released documents make the motivations and involvement of other players in the investigation seem extremely suspicious.

How did anybody else make Flynn be an unregistered agent of foreign countries? How did anybody else make Flynn try to sell US foreign policy?

4. Flynn claims that the FBI threatened investigations into his son's affairs if he did not cooperate with Mueller. (I doubt any parent would want the FBI turning on their family members, regardless of what they had done.)

Does this change that Flynn was an unregistered foreign agent of Turkey and Russia? Does it change that he lied repeatedly about his call with Kislyak?

5. Mueller recommended that Flynn serve no jail time.

In exchange for a guilty plea and cooperation with the probe. What happened after that?

It's all side streets with you buddy.

I get that he's an important supporter of a guy you like. But dude betrayed the country. Full stop. You can't be in charge of the national security of the United states and secretly work for Turkey and Russia.

Alrighty then. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

And tomorrow he'll announce that it was just a joke, somehow proving that he owns the libs because they thought he was serious. .

Yep. And his followers will fall for it. They’ll defend him. Theyll post memes and gifs. They’ll claim that he’s playing 300 dimensional chess and that any criticism of his lack of understanding is somehow playing into his hands. And Americans will continue to die due to our lack of a plan.

Any surprise that the two epicenters of this pandemic are now the United States and Brazil? Bolsonaro claimed to want to be the “Trump” of South America. Sadly, for millions of Brazilians, looks like he’s getting his wish.
