Flynn 9/25/16: "When you are given immunity, that means that you have probably committed a crime."
Meet the Press, 9/25/16:
CHUCK TODD:
Let me start with this, the public perception is that Donald Trump isn't doing the same type of preparation for this debate that Hillary Clinton is. I think Kellyanne Conway, the campaign manager, said he's not been locked up in a cabin for two weeks. Eric Trump, his son, has suggested that he doesn't need to be you know rehearsing flash cards. Are you concerned, though, that the preparation is enough?
GENERAL MIKE FLYNN:
Yeah, so a couple things, the very last thing that John Podesta just said is no individual too big to jail, that should include people like Hillary Clinton. I mean, five people around her have had, have been given immunity, to include her former Chief of Staff. When you are given immunity, that means that you have probably committed a crime. So you know, I don't know how he can sit there and say something like that with all the, the things that have been going around, just swirling around Hillary Clinton--
CHUCK TODD:
Yeah.

Sean Spicer today: "the legal piece of what happened" ???
I am so interested to know what legal piece he was talking about. (at the press conference today, questioned about Nunes and the White House hanky panky, and whether the President directed his team to find intel to back up his wiretapping claim)
"I DON'T -- I AM NOT AWARE AND I HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THIS. ONE IS THE INFORMATION SIDE AND TWO IS THE POLICIES AND THE ACTIVITY AND LEGAL PIECE OF WHAT HAPPENED. I DON'T -- THOSE ARE BIG BUCKETS IF YOU WILL."

Senate votes to kill worker safety rule aimed at federal contractors
Source: Washington Post
President Trump and congressional Republicans are poised to roll back a series of Obama-era worker safety regulations targeted by business groups, beginning Monday night with a vote by the Senate to kill a rule that required federal contractors to disclose and correct serious safety violations.
In a narrow result that divided along party lines, the Senate voted 49 to 48 to eliminate the regulation, dubbed the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces rule. Finalized in August and blocked by a court order in October, the rule would limit the ability of companies with recent safety problems to complete for government contracts unless they agreed to remedies.
The measure to abolish it had already cleared the House. The next step after the Senate vote will be the White House, where Trump is expected to sign it.
A half-dozen other worker safety regulations are in Republican crosshairs, with one headed to the Senate floor as soon as this week. Many are directed at companies with federal contracts. Such companies employ 1 in 5 American workers — meaning the effort could have wide-ranging effects.

Trump reportedly claimed 2 were shot dead in Chicago during Obama’s speech. But it never happened.
by Jeremy Gorner and Jason Meisner
January 27, 2017
An ABC News transcript of its interview with President Donald Trump on Wednesday quoted him as saying that two people were fatally shot in Chicago while his predecessor, Barack Obama, was giving his farewell speech at McCormick Place — a claim shown to be false by Police Department records.
The passage in question was not included in the broadcast aired Wednesday night, but the network posted a longer transcript on its website that contained the remarks in question. An ABC spokesman confirmed to the Tribune on Thursday that the transcript accurately depicted the president's words, but the network did not immediately share the video with the Tribune.
Not only did no homicides take place in Chicago during Obama's address of about an hour Jan. 10, but the official Police Department records and the Tribune's crime database show that no shootings at all occurred over that time frame.
Trump apparently made the erroneous claim during an interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, who asked the president about the tweet he'd sent Tuesday that read: "If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible 'carnage' going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!"
