How this situation could send Flynn to prison.

[Care4all]

The Russians were recorded talking to Flynn. Not unusual when a hostile foreign country is talking to it's agents inside the country.

We pretty much know that Flynn told Russia that if Trump is elected, the sanctions will go away so don't take any action.

Later, Flynn was interviewed by the FBI.

If what Flynn told the FBI in that interview was very different than what he said in the transcripts, that would be lying to the FBI. That's a felony. Flynn could see jail time.

But what if it was Trump that told him to tell the Russians to keep calm? That Trump will end the sanctions after the election if he wins? Then Trump really has a problem that neither the GOP nor Russia can help him out of.

It's clear you aren't much for rational thought or logic.
You base all of your beliefs off of pure conjecture from media reports.
If transcripts of the conversation surface then we might have something. But basically the media is telling us something was discussed without providing any context, and this is on purpose....because the context could be exculpatory in nature. i.e. Flynn wasn’t the one that mentioned sanctions. The Russian ambassador did.
The more that's known about classified conversations the weaker your case becomes.

BTW, what would be the crime Flynn would be imprisoned under, talking to foreigners on the telephone? Guess we'd have lock half of the California for that one....

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.

Logan Act - Wikipedia

Obama and Hillary are guilty of the Logan act. What's the statute of limitations?




"The Logan Act states, “Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

The Logan Act also bars public officials from meeting with private citizens to make policy, a crime for which the Clinton White House was fined $300,000 for, according to Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker."

The facts bother you?

Obama Violated The Logan Act: Why Hasn't He Been Charged?


Kuwait (July 18, 2008) Obama called off a meeting with wounded troops at a military hospital after the Pentagon told him that the trip might run afoul of a policy against visiting soldiers in the course of campaigning.

Afghanistan (July 20, 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Obama reiterated his call for additional U.S. forces to deal with conditions in that he described as "precarious and urgent”. Obama spent time talking to U.S. military and diplomatic leadership, and to the leaders of Afghanistan, about whether the U.S. has the right strategy and the right resources to defeat the Taliban and al Qaeda, and to support lasting stability. The message from Obama to the Afghan government is this: we want a strong partnership based on "more for more" - more resources from the United States and NATO, and more action from the Afghan government to improve the lives of the Afghan people.

Anbar Province, Western Iraq (July 21, 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama held talks with Sunni tribal leaders and stated, “There is security progress, but now we need a political solution” and he repeated his goal of withdrawing US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months should he become president.

Ramadi, Iraq (July 21, 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama met with militiamen of the US-backed Awakening Councils movement - a tribal alliance whose members turned against al-Qaeda last year. Ahmed Abu Risha, head of the Awakening Councils, said tribal chiefs told Mr Obama that any withdrawal of US forces from Anbar should be carried out cautiously.

Baghdad, Iraq (July 21, 2008) U.S. Sen. met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki who told Obama that he hoped US troops could be withdrawn from Iraq by 2010. Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, said that Obama was "completely wrong" to press for withdrawal timetables. Sen. McCain stated "When you win wars, troops come home”. (Sept. 2008) The New York Post has Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, on record, stating Barack Obama tried to interfere with ongoing negotiations with Iraqi leaders while on his trip to Iraq recently. While telling his supporters his plan to withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months, Barack Obama was doing something far different while he was in Iraq. He was trying to talk Iraqi officials into delaying the agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence from Iraq, Zebari said in an interview with the New York Post. According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July. "He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington”.

Why would Obama do such a thing?

Because in order for him to have any type of credibility he needed to convince Americans that things were still going badly in Iraq.

(Oct 2, 2008) Iraqi leaders are hoping Barack Obama wins the White House and speeds up the withdrawal of American troops from their country.

Obama’s high-profile July visit to Baghdad appears to have won over top Iraqis, including Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and the premier subsequently began demanding a time-table for US forces to leave Iraq.

Amman, Jordan (July 22, 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama met with Jordan’s King Abdullah

Tel Aviv, Israel U.S. Sen. Obama held talks with Israeli leaders U.S. Sen. Obama held talks with Palestinian leaders

Britain (July 2008) Quote from British prime Minister, Gordon Brown: "The decision on the American election is a matter entirely for the American people and I have ….met with ….Senator Obama and talked to [him] about the issue that affect our two countries and the future of global issues."

France (July 25, 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama held a joint news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy (whose country holds the European Union presidency) at the Elysée Palace in Paris.

Berlin, Germany (July 2008) U.S. Sen. Obama drew huge crowds in Berlin where he addressed them, oddly enough, as "fellow citizens of the world." Obama went on to state, “People of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment. This is our time. ... With an eye toward the future, with resolve in our hearts, let us remember this history, and answer our destiny, and remake the world once again."

“The depth of Obama’s emotional investment in his vision of unification is unknowable. What does seem clear, however, is that although he tends to speak about problems in terms of impersonal forces, he [Obama] takes himself seriously as an agent and facilitator of change. If the change he believes in does not happen as easily or as quickly as he thinks it should, Obama might well interpret the obstacles in his path as personal affronts and greet them with anger, as he apparently became angry at his one-time mentor Jeremiah Wright only after the pastor called into question Obama’s claim to be a different kind of politician.” (“Honor versus Unity” by Lawrence D. Cooper, Oct. 2, 2008, Commentary.com)

Nancy Pelosi also violated the Logan Act.

The Parties’ Role Reversal on “Interfering” with the Commander-in-Chief’s Foreign Policy

To see how thoroughly Democrats have adopted the GOP’s Bush-era authoritarian rhetoric about not “undermining the commander-in-chief,” and to see how craven is GOP behavior now on Iran, just look at what was being said in 2007 when then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Syria and met with President Bashar Assad. The Bush administration was furious about that meeting because its strategy at the time was to isolate Assad as punishment for his alleged aid to Iraqi insurgents fighting against U.S. occupying forces, and the right-wing media and even mainstream media precincts attacked Pelosi in ways quite redolent of today’s attacks on the Senate Republicans over Iran.​

I can't see Flynn telling the Russian Ambassador, to pass on to Putin that once Trump is sworn in, he would stop the Obama sanction for Putin's influencing our election... and not to retaliate, WITHOUT president Trump telling him to do such....can you?

We know Trump tweeted within 24 hours, how he knew Putin was smart, when it was on the news that for the first time, Putin did not retaliate our USA actions.

And WHY did Trump ALLOW Flynn to lie to Pence and keep the lie going with Pence?

WHY was it necessary to lie in the first place if Flynn did nothing wrong?

The answer is simple .... Putin was wearing blue boxers ... and everybody knows that when he's wearing blue boxers, he was mellowed out some smooth shit he got from your collection.

You guys are amazing --- immature --- but amazing.

immature?

the pot is calling the kettle black in your amazing, mature, post!

Your inability to recognize satire comes as no surprise given your amazingly simple linear thinking patterns.

Personally, I'm more curious what Flynn used his illegal personal internet connection at the Pentagon for:
Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly had 'forbidden' internet connection at the Pentagon

Stop with the fake news. Flynn broke no laws. The leakers did!

So you think lying to the FBI is legal?

Right wingers will say Flynn was set up by Hillary.
