For those of you freaking about the lack of time for Flynn - Please read this article



https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/12/how-scared-should-trump-be-of-mueller-ask-john-gotti-or-sammy-the-bull

With that bit of submission out of the way, our conversation soon found a more fruitful path. But did Robert Mueller ever get a first-hand hint of Sammy the stone-cold killer? The answer to that question remains part of the secret history of the Gotti case. All that is known with certainty is that Mueller agreed to the deal that would make Gravano the government’s star witness, the lynchpin of the federal case. In return, a murderer with 19 notches on his gun would wind up spending not much more time in jail than a deadbeat dad.

Trump made a deal --help with the election in exchange for lifting sanctions. I think Flynn was the Russian contact for coordinating the lifting of sanctions, and also as it turned out, trying to prevent Obama's new sanctions. And Flynn said Trump and kids knew all about it.

The topic that you figure he sang about has to be one of many.

How hard do you think it was letting a murderer x19 off? If you don't think Mueller lost a shit ton of sleep on that deal, then you aren't thinking. Letting a dickhead like Flynn walk is a walk in the park. Annoying as hell, but as long as he brings down the whale, well worth it.
