So, Trump tells Flynn to negotiate with Moscow about a UN Israeli vote, and this violated the Logan Act because we consider Russia to be in dispute with the United States?

Given their retaliatory actions in response to the Magnitsky Act, yes.

e: Mueller's is probably the most experienced prosecutorial team in US history. The charges of lying to the FBI are probably just a distraction, and they're planning on hitting Bigly Maga Jr and Kushner with more serious charges related to something we may not know about.

No way to tell yet. It'll depend on what and how much Flynn discloses and cooperates with the Mueller investigation.

His cooperation and testimony, I'm sure, will be exhibit A in a final report.

Depends on what Trump told Flynn to talk to the Russians about, and when.

But this is the first evidence of team trump taking an active role in courting/contacting Russia, which is a big deal that starts to open up the possibility of charges of cooperating with or soliciting to Russia.

Tuned in to Rush to hear the RWM take on today. Very suspect that the Flynn guilty plea would happen to mask the good news for Trump on the Tax Bill happens today and the bad news of the not guilty verdict and Franken. Makes you think.

Which car company was it that built a plant in Alabama(?) and realized they had to translate their manuals into picture books because the local cheap labor was also illiterate?

It was the Toyota RAV4, yes in Alabama, plant and they ended up deciding it was such a bad proposition that they went to Canada instead.

If Flynn stuff gets out of control, feel free to start a spinoff thread to get us through the weekend.

Also, just a reminder everyone: Flynn will testify and nothing will happen. GOP will not impeach and nobody will resign. Nothing matters.

Yup, Woodstock, Ontario. In another example, John Deere moved a grader plant from nearby here to west Virginia, production dropped off a cliff so they said gently caress it and moved all production to China. Sucks for us but lol WV

I had guys from WV/eastern OH in my platoon who were functionally illiterate. I worked with Afghans were were better at writing in English than they were. It was really horrifying.

e: It was so bad that the battalion S1 made me translate their sworn statements at one point because some of them were nearly unintelligible.

I want to see Cheese Brain taken down more than anything else. Still I really hate Flynn and am disappointed that we need to let him off so easily to get there. His crying about how it's not ok to call him a traitor gets on my nerves.

The only thing separating him from being an honest to god "give him the firing squad" traitor is he didn't consummate it because he got caught before it happened.
