Grand irony: the underlying action that Flynn now admits he lied to the FBI about was urging de-escalation with a nuclear power, which is now no longer permissiblepic.twitter.com/Vh4Nxz0nWK

That said, however innocuous the underlying conduct, any ordinary person who lied to the FBI would be severely punished. So it's right for the same standard to apply to a powerful figure like Flynn
Do you comprehend that he pled DOWN to the criminal offense of lying to the FBI, while he was serving in office You go do five years in prison and tell us how innocuous it feels.
I don’t usually bask in anyone else’s misfortune, but these mutherfuckers are close to evil. Hlllary Clinton is a flesh & blood human being who was out there trying to serve her country. Those chants of Lock Her Up will always be among the ugliest things I’ve heard. #Karma
Lying to investigators has always been illegal, regardless of the "underlying action". Anyhow, this is just the tip of the iceberg. You ought to start drafting your public mea culpa, because the story you have been consistently downplaying and denying is about to blow wide open.
this tweet appears to presume this is the only time he lied to the FBI or this is the only crime he committed. This is just the one he's being charged with at this time.
And unless he sings - he’ll be charged with more and worse
Do you honestly think Flynn would risk lying to the FBI over something "innocuous"?
Do you not understand that he is pleading down (i.e. a lesser charge) because they're giving him immunity for more nefarious behavior so they can get him to testify against others? Why are you being this obtuse if not to minimize your past incorrect conclusions.
if I were Flynn's lawyer & we had to make a deal, I would want it to be for the most innocuous instance, wouldn't you? (I am presuming a deal has been made though that is not yet established)
Nothing innocuous about it.
Congratulations. You've made it clear beyond ANY reasonable doubt that you are a Republican.
Oh man, you really need help. Reality check.
I imagine you in food-stained pajama bottoms scratching your belly saying this.
You seem.... Nervous. Backed the wrong horse huh slick?
