So Flynn had a conversation with a Russian after the election when he was on the transition team and got caught lying to the FBI. WTF does that have to do with colluding with the Russians to throw the election? How did a dirty ex-FBI hack like Mueller with tons of skeletons in his closet get so much power? Rosentein and Mueller have to go. Fooled closely by Sessions.

It doesn't. It's just ANOTHER way for the liberal democrat scumbags to deflect what is going on in their own house between all of the corruption and sex abuse. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
This is the exact point I don't see or hear people covering. Mueller was supposed to be looking for "evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election". So far, I have seen exactly zero evidence of that. WTF?

This is a silent coup, our candidate won but the establishment Republicans, Dems, and globalists just could not allow someone who speaks for the common man to actually speak.
If we lose President Trump to these phony charges, then you might as well pee on your flag and burn it because the Republic is gone.

All of the Anti-Trumpers, the Leftest Liberals and the filthy Democrats are all exited about this.
This is going to amount to nothing. I will not bore everyone with all of the details, but this is going to turn out to be nothing.

What the Flynn Plea Means
There’s less to the news than meets the eye.
Former Trump-administration national-security adviser Michael Flynn is expected to plead guilty today to lying to the FBI regarding his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the United States.
Flynn, who is reportedly cooperating with the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller, is pleading guilty in federal district court in Washington, D.C., to a one-count criminal information (which is filed by a prosecutor in cases when a defendant waives his right to be indicted by a grand jury).
The false-statement charge, brought under Section 1001 of the federal penal code, stems from Flynn’s conversation on December 29, 2016, with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak. At the time, Flynn was slated to become the national-security adviser to President-elect Donald Trump. The conversation occurred on the same day that then-president Barack Obama announced sanctions against Russia for its interference in the 2016 election. It is believed to have been recorded by the FBI because Kislyak, as an agent of a foreign power, was subject to monitoring under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Mueller has charged Flynn with falsely telling FBI agents that he did not ask the ambassador “to refrain from escalating the situation” in response to the sanctions. In being questioned by the agents on January 24, 2017, Flynn also lied when he claimed he could not recall a subsequent conversation with Kislyak, in which the ambassador told Flynn that the Putin regime had “chosen to moderate its response to those sanctions as a result of [Flynn’s] request.”
Furthermore, a week before the sanctions were imposed, Flynn had also spoken to Kislyak, asking the ambassador to delay or defeat a vote on a pending United Nations resolution. The criminal information charges that Flynn lied to the FBI by denying both that he’d made this request and that he’d spoken afterward with Kislyak about Russia’s response to it.
Thus, in all, four lies are specified in the one count. The potential sentence is zero to five years’ imprisonment. Assuming Flynn cooperates fully with Mueller’s investigators, there will be little, if any, jail time.
Obviously, it was wrong of Flynn to give the FBI false information; he could, after all, have simply refused to speak with the agents in the first place. That said, as I argued early this year, it remains unclear why the Obama Justice Department chose to investigate Flynn. There was nothing wrong with the incoming national-security adviser’s having meetings with foreign counterparts or discussing such matters as the sanctions in those meetings. Plus, if the FBI had FISA recordings of Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak, there was no need to ask Flynn what the conversations entailed.

ABC’s Brian Ross Entirely Misleads All Media on Flynn Story – ABC Desperately Backtracks…
You might remember ABC’s Brian Ross for previously making the absurd on-air claim that Colorado mass shooter James Holmes was a Tea Party member. He completely made up the story, and later apologized.
Well, today ABC News Brian Ross again appeared directly on ABC World News to break a story claiming that candidate Donald Trump told campaign adviser Michael Flynn to make contact with Russians.
Watch, and note specifically what Brian Ross reports:
…”as a candidate, Donald Trump ordered him, directed him, to contact the the Russians.”
Except this statement is entirely false. Nothing about Brian Ross’s claim is accurate at all. That claim is entirely fake news; and now ABC is in damage control mode trying to walk-back the Brian Ross statement.
However, this is a perfect example of how ridiculous “fake news” lies get spread in the media. Watch what happens when Joy Behar gets the Brian Ross, breaking news story, live-on-air and repeats it to her audience. WATCH.

I would guess Trump did something wrong, but did he do anything that others have not done I'm sure not. Trump made it worse for himself by laying about it.
We have failed in this country to seek actual justice, money, power, and false righteousness make people feel their own justice is right.

Lying to an FBI agent is against the law, that'll never be abused, HAH! Since the politicization of that once honorable institution I have very little faith in their integrity. Thanks to the likes of Mueller, Comey and their democrat handlers.

FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok (above left), was the deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI. He was the tip-of-the-spear in the Clinton email investigation assigned by James Comey. FBI Agent Strzok was part of a very small special team, called the “skinny team”, tasked with investigating Hillary Clinton. Agent Peter Strzok was one of the few people who actually interviewed Hillary Clinton.
Additionally, this year agent Peter Strzok was personally selected by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to be the TOP FBI AGENT in charge of the investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian collusion conspiracy.
However, as a direct outcome of an Inspector General investigation into Peter Strzok, it is just coming to light that text messages and written communication between Strzok and an FBI lawyer named Lisa Page will show a strong bias to clear Clinton and against Trump.
Behind the communication, Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page were having an affair. Strzok and Page communicated with each other about their disdain and hatred for Donald Trump while they were key members of the Muller investigative team.
TOP Mueller FBI Investigator Fired For Anti-Trump Bias – WaPo Attempts Proactive Intel Defense Ahead of Details Reaching Congress…
What are the chances that instead of grilling Hillary over the e-mail destruction ...There was groundwork being laid on how to handle Trump ... You know Just idle chatter on a Sat. afternoon between friends .... Between Pete and Hillary... After all Comey wrote months before the interview that nothing was found to charge Hillary.
