Statement from President's Lawyer

Source: Talking Points Memo




By JOSH MARSHALL Published DECEMBER 1, 2017 11:50 AM

Statement from Trump lawyer Ty Cobb …

“Today, Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor at the White House for 25 days during the Trump Administration, and a former Obama administration official, entered a guilty plea to a single count of making a false statement to the FBI.

“The false statements involved mirror the false statements to White House officials which resulted in his resignation in February of this year. Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn. The conclusion of this phase of the Special Counsel’s work demonstrates again that the Special Counsel is moving with all deliberate speed and clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion.”

and ALL that time before and during the campaign as an intimate of the inner circle, prominent adviser and front-man rallier of the crowds inciting them with his chants of, "Lock her up!" But yeah --- tell us it was only 25 days.

...introduce him at the convention, then hired him as National Security adviser. But it's Obama's fault!

They have no shame, no ethics, and no morals.

'former Obama administration official' and 'clears the way for a prompt and reasonable conclusion', was all the asshole really needed to read.
