Flynn definately broke laws

The House Oversight Committee's top-ranking Republican and Democrat said in a joint press conference on Tuesday that former national security adviser Michael Flynn appears to have broken the law by not disclosing payments he received from Russia in his 2016 security clearance application.

Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the committee's chair, and ranking Democratic member Elijah Cummings told reporters that they had obtained the SF86 security clearance application form that Flynn filed in January 2016, one month after he traveled to Moscow to speak at a gala celebrating the 10th anniversary of Russia's state-owned news agency, Russia Today.

Documents the committee obtained later from Flynn's speaking bureau revealed that Flynn was paid approximately $33,000 for the speaking engagement. But they said he appears not to have disclosed those funds on his security clearance application.

House Oversight chairman: I've seen 'no evidence' that Michael Flynn 'complied' with the law

But the Trump administration had so far "refused to provide the committee with a single piece of paper in response to our bipartisan request," Cummings said, "and that is unacceptable."

In a letter to the Oversight Committee dated April 19, 2017, White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short referred the committee to the Defense Department for the documents related to Flynn's security clearance and "contacts with foreign nationals" that predated his time at the White House.

Short wrote that the White House would be "unable to accommodate" the committee's requests for information about Flynn's contacts with foreign nationals after he was appointed national security adviser. Short said much of that information is classified.

This admin is totally frightened by the fact that if Flynn has to face a judge over his lies, he may turn states evidence.
You know Old Crotch I don't recall you ever posting anything about Big Ear's many corrupt actions. Did you think him wonderful?

Partisan hacks have narrow vision
Agreed. Sadly, it's the partisan hacks who have the loudest mouths. They think screaming and silencing others means they win, but as the vote tallies of the past several elections have shown, once in the voting booth, people vote their conscience not what the fucking partisan hacks scream at them to do.
 
YES, check with the military about how tolerant they are about these little factors...LOL
It can and will be cleared up. He won't do jail time for it. I know how much that will break your heart but he won't, sorry.
 
I just can't imagine anybody making a big deal out of $33,000 - except the IRS.


Would 500K impress you any?--LOL It's clear that Flynn was working as a foreign agent for both Turkey & Russia--and his attorney's are getting fairly nervous about this--stating that Flynn has a "story to tell" and they're asking for immunity. I don't think he's going to get it, because they have all the information anyway.
Flynn was paid to lobby for Turkey while attending Trump intel briefings: report

The military has a system which allows for retroactive financial reporting of foreign payments for services I'm sure this falls under that category.

Unsurprising you blame "the military" for political actions since it's common for the far Left to hate the military, spit on them and blame them for all the problems in the world. They've been doing this for almost 60 years now, so why would they change?
 
Sorry libs another dead end....go back three spaces and roll again. :badgrin:
 
Not on a security clearance application
And that is why he was fired. We are not talking about a serious crime here. I know you libs smell blood but there will not be any here. He will pay some fines and that's all.
 
Clintons transgressions were proven to amount to nothing except RW hate for the woman .. time to see where the RW KGB path leads.
Are you proclaiming Hillary never, ever did anything wrong? Nothing shady, negligent or corrupt?

Please explain why many Democrats didn't trust her much less most Republicans. Please explain why her favorability rating was so low. Was it all a "vast, wide Right Wing conspiracy"?

Lastly, please explain to me why you rush to Hillary's defense instead of joining me in seeking to root out all corruption, cronyism and crime in Washington, DC regardless of party affiliation.

Im not parroting she broke any laws and should be in jail like the dips that cant take the findings of multiple investigations do.

theres more than a "good chance" more than one Republican leaning Trump drone was involved in a money laundering operation with Russians.

Manafort has money laundering written all over his sorry Russian loving ass.

The Clinton Global Initiative was one giant money laundering scheme.

Perhaps you can use the publicly available financials from the foundation and the thirty years of Clinton taxes to break it down for us.

All you need to know is that since she lost, donations have dried up.

That means nothing to me.
Break it down for us professor.
 
You just posted the best argument for Trump to release his taxes
I've never argued that he shouldn't only that he does not have to by law. I do however like all of the caterwauling about it though. The people that made Trump hate the IRS as much as they hate libs. No big deal. Keep on calling for them.
 
Of course he won't. He's already asked for immunity. He's no doubt ready to spill
Come on starsky spill what? come on say it. You think the Russians got Trump elected don't you? come on tell us how Hillary lost. It was Putin right? :cuckoo:
Flynn has nothing to worry about and neither does Trump. Get use to it.
 
Look at what you are defending here people. Flynn was a paid lobbyist for both Russia and Turkey to lobby the US government.

Flynn was appointed to be NSA director by Trump, and held that job for 3 weeks before he was fired.

My question is, why didn't Trump vet Flynn better? And ya gotta admit, putting a Russian lobbyist in charge of the NSA seems to be counter productive.
 
Well now, the Republican and the Democrat that are running the committee investigating the ties between Russia and the orange clown's Presidential campaign have both stated that there is a lot more to find out, and that the admin is actively trying to derail their investigation.
 
Of course he won't. He's already asked for immunity. He's no doubt ready to spill

Tell us about the conspiracy involving the Obama admin, the entire Intel community, both oversight committees and the FBI.
