whether you agree with their reasoning or not, that was 100% a perjury trap;

I don't see it that way. FBI had good reason to interview Flynn about his conversation with the Russian ambassador, and it's bizarre to think they expected him to lie. Why couldn't he tell the FBI the truth? It wasn't even that big of a deal to say he discussed sanctions with the ambassador.
This is the story of the Russia investigation. Campaign/transition officials lying to cover up politically embarrassing contacts. It made everything worse, and gave the impression that all of them were covering up something bigger.

Everyone wanted a read through Crooked Hillary's emails once we knew she had lost them to hackers in a moment of historical incompetence.
What a complete nothingburger.
The head shed of a presidential campaign should not be putting feelers out in order to receive stolen material.
I feel like the basic norms of conduct have been turned upside down because cultists are desperate to minimize whatever the Trump people did. We all know you guys wouldn't minimize it if it was Obama or Hillary. I don't know how you reconcile the inconsistency in your head.

I had the right to end the whole Witch Hunt if I wanted. I could have fired everyone, including Mueller, if I wanted. I chose not to. I had the RIGHT to use Executive Privilege. I didn’t!
Lol
What an idiot. Although I suppose he could've tried to use executive privilege.. but that wouldn't make sense politically.
