#3 I’ve been reading recently that Special Prosecutor Mueller’s group was threatening to go after his son, as well...

#5 Did Flynn plea guilty in a court? Or just admitted he lied to the FBI and the MSM played it up as a "guilty plea"?

I think the only time a legal guilty plea is accepted is in a court of law. Outside of a court of law, it really doesn't mean anything.

But then again, I'm not a lawyer so what do I know?

#6 This causes cognitive dissonance in my brain. Is it O.K. to lie to a bunch of liars? Personally, I think not. Comey lied. Hillary lied, Holder lied. WJC lied. Obama too with his Obamacare although, apparently, some lying is not prosecuted. Prosecuting lying to the Feebs is a last ditch strategy when you have nothing else to keep the Special Counsel going.

#7 There is intentionally lying, and then there is facing the situation that the prosecutors say, “You said this thing to us in this way, or did not say it in that way, which we define as lying. Admit that you lied to us.” I suspect that is what happened.

#8 I would like a Law that Victimless crimes such as this be decriminalized -- let's rein in bureaucratic usurpation of the legal system.
Years ago I was told of the following tactic to avoid the Vietnam Draft: Go to the County Courthouse and turn yourself in for Conspiracy to Kill a Bald Eagle. Conspiracy, mind you...

#9 Flynn, no doubt knows quite a bit that might be damaging to Donks. A strategy often used is to damage a witness by showing the witness to be a liar and thus taint any future testimony as that coming from a liar (as he mumbled to himself affirmation that Shakespeare was right about his advice as to what to do about lawyers). Often, this is enough to prevent future testimony from such a witness.
