Neither do you.

That's the thing though with the deal with Flynn. With the actual evidence they had on Flynn for a number of more serious charges (influence peddling, FARA violations, the plan to kidnap Fethullah Gulen and return him to Turkey, for example), Mueller pretty much had him dead-to-rights. If it was Flynn and just Flynn, Mueller would have no reason to even entertain the thought of a deal with Flynn. The ONLY reason a deal is considered (and this was a sweetheart deal, based on the other stuff Mueller could hit Flynn with), is if Mueller believes the deal will get him a bigger fish. And when you're talking about someone at the level of Flynn (NatSec Advisor), the only "bigger" fish are POTUS and VPOTUS. You have comparable fish, like Kushner, Sessions, but no one else would be bigger, from a prosecutorial standpoint.



This is correct.

u dont seem to know much about the prosecution, as you think the line was comparing trump to a mob boss based on some perceived hate. pretty cute how many nuances u miss honestly.

If Mueller has to stoop to coercing accusations against Trump, then he has nothing.

You did read all the articles, about this, right?
Whether Mueller has done it before or not, has nothing to do with what he is doing now.

so even though it worked before in a similar type investigation, the fact that he's doing it now means "he has nothing".

for......reasons.

even if he does have nothing(totally possible), this tactic isn't an indication of that. that was my point all along, not that trump is basically a mob boss. are you realizing the nuance i had to explain to you now?

Bingo!

A mob boss investigation does NOT equate to an investigation of the President of the US.

similar =/= equal

glad i could teach a man as old as you english.

but feel free to explain how this is dissimilar in the context of the differences between investigations, in extreme detail please. i'd hate for all you have to be "they're not equal" because that would be embarrassing.

He would be a fool to be loyal to a snake like Trump.
