Fox guest: Flynn's actions like "pulling off mattress tags, jaywalking, parking tickets."

[edbermac]

MATT SCHLAPP (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION): The charge of this collusion -- which is not a legal term, as Alan Dershowitz walked through in his interview with you and Bill -- what they are really charging President Trump and Michael Flynn of is treason. They're accusing them of putting a foreign interest over the interests of the American people. That's quite a charge. That's the most disgusting charge you could level at somebody in public office. And there's no proof of it.

Instead what you have are these infractions: Pulling off mattress tags, jaywalking, parking tickets. They're finding anything they can -- anything they can -- to delve into these people's careers, to kind of legally blackmail them into agreeing to some minimal crimes. None of the crimes with all the people we've talked about over the course of the last year and a half have anything to do with the fundamental charge that somehow Donald Trump or his team committed treason by putting the interests of Vladimir Putin above Americans. This has to end. There is nothing here. And I hope Mike Flynn receives true justice today.

1. The first time i ever saw him i thought "What an asshole"

Then i learned his name and more about him.

I was correct.

Matt Schlapp is an incredible asshole.

[ooky]

10. "Matt Schlapp"

I wonder is that his stage name? He's a clown.

He is one of a handful of individuals that gets an immediate channel change as soon as his image appears across my TV screen. I expect I'm hardly the only one that does that. His shtick is so partisan everyone knows what's coming. I honestly question why any network wants him other than Fox News. If I was an advertiser I would tell the network not to air my commercials following his appearances because half the audience would be gone.

2. I agree with him on one thing. I hope Mike Flynn receives true justice, as well.

[Vinca]

3. He must have freaked out when the judge weighed in yesterday. LOL.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Another Punk

He's another on of those guys that think they had everything figured out and how everything worked and was supposed to work when he was 15. Never learned another thing.

5. So how much is he paid by the Russians?

[Renew Deal]

6. The reason why most of the charges so far have been plea deals is that the big charges are there

And Comrade Schlapp will year about them soon enough.

[Mc Mike]

7. Yeah, that cuts both ways. For all repugs, conspiring with the US's foreign enemies is no big deal,

it's like jaywalking. They do it all the time, everyone they know does it, they have no concern about it even one tiny little bit.

On the other hand, let someone who they don't like, who is poor and powerless, an ethnic minority or refugee, jaywalk or get a ticket -- time to treat that infraction like it is treason, an act of war against the US. Throw the book at them, with all the old testament fury the 'law and order' party can wrathfully summon up.

They're swine, lying hypocritical nazi swine.

8. Does he realize that 90% of the documents on Flynn's case were redacted?

We have no idea what has been redacted.

Whatever Flynn told the prosecutors, it was enough to let him off the hook for making foreign-policy behind the back of the Obama-administration, for his violation of russian sanctions and for his plot to kidnap the cleric Fetullah Gulen and to sell him to Erdogan.

9. Expect nothing less from the former v.p./federal affairs for Koch Companies Public Sector, LLC.

And his wife is 45’s White House director of strategic communications— now there’s a big laugh.
