Opvallend hoe exact Lindsey Graham het hyperbolische taalgebruik van Trump kopieert om het tegenovergestelde te beweren:
“Thereʼs no smoking gun, thereʼs a smoking saw”
“Mohammed bin Salman [MBS] is a wrecking ball”
“I think he [MBS] is crazy, I think heʼs dangerous”
“You must be willfully blind not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organised by people under the command of MBS”
“If we donʼt send this message, we are making the world into a more dangerous place”

Een dolkstoot in de rug van de oranje gek.

quote:

“I would imagine if they [Pompeo & Mattis] were in a Democratic administration I would be all over them for being in the pocket of Saudi Arabia,” Graham said of the secretaries, “but since I have such respect for them, I am going to assume that they are being good soldiers … I would really question somebody’s judgment if they couldn’t figure this out.”

SethAbramson twitterde op woensdag 05-12-2018 om 02:49:02 25/ Mueller confirms that Flynn aided the collusion investigation. And as I've said on the feed many times, those who said Flynn being sentenced meant no one else would be charged due to his cooperation were *wrong*. Mueller makes that perfectly clear. Glad that canard has ended. reageer retweet

And based upon what precedes them, those paragraphs would appear to be about (a) ongoing (b) collusion investigations (c) that could lead to further charges of other individuals down the line. reageer retweet

Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, helped substantially with the special counsel’s investigation and should receive little to no prison time for lying to federal investigators, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Mr. Flynn was a key cooperator who helped the Justice Department with several investigations, prosecutors for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, said. He sat for 19 interviews with Mr. Mueller’s office and other prosecutors and handed over documents and communications, they said.

“His early cooperation was particularly valuable because he was one of the few people with long-term and firsthand insight” into the subject of Mr. Mueller’s investigation — Russia’s election interference and whether any Trump associates conspired, prosecutors wrote in a sentencing recommendation memorandum and an addendum that was heavily blacked out.

In particular, they wrote, he might have prompted others to cooperate with the inquiry. “The defendant’s decision to plead guilty and cooperate likely affected the decisions of related firsthand witnesses to be forthcoming,” prosecutors said.

They also indicated that Mr. Flynn helped with other investigations without revealing details about them.
