Flynn pleads guilty on Russia, reportedly ready to testify against Trump

ABC News cited a confidant as saying Flynn was ready to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with Russians before he became president, initially as a way to work together to fight the Islamic State group in Syria.

If Flynn testifies that before taking office Trump directed him to contact Russian officials, that might not necessarily amount to a crime.





Interesting story, but I don't think it will amount to much. I'm sure that trump was talking to Russia, and many other countries. But I doubt it was about hacking the election in Trump's favor.

Just collaborating with foreign powers about something else?

Russia wants a weaker America and definitely wanted Trump to win.

Yeah, like state dinners, sanctions, treaties...ad infinitum.

I'm sure Russia wants a weaker America, and he probably "thought" that Trump winning would aid those desires. BUT, that doesn't mean Trump was involved with Russia, to "hack the election".

yep, looking the headlines on cnn is amazing:

- Sources: Kushner was the "very senior" transition member who directed Flynn to contact the Russian ambassador
- Trump hasn't tweeted about Flynn yet
- Michael Flynn's son tweets: "Family is the most important thing in life"

Brian Ross indeed boned it, ABC retracted his claim and issued a clarification saying that Flynn was only talking about the transition:
