Flynn will rat out everyone to save himself?

Repubs will advise him to take the "5th" if he is called to testify. This will not work for the GOP. Trump will continue to give Democrats daily fodder, much to the chagrin of McConnell and the Repubs.

I don't think that Flynn is the type to take a fall for anyone. He may be looking for revenge?

1. Well, he made that call because Fuckface told him to, so both are guilty

of treason or whatever this is. Flynn doesnt take it upon himself to say that to Russia AND knowing he is being taped means that he knew Fuckface had his back.

I wish the media would point this out, that there is NO way Fuckface isnt involved.

I also believe Pence knew at some point.

I'm not holding my breath. However, he might lie under oath if there are hearings.

9. I'm counting on the lies under oath - I think he can be relied upon for that.

My first post, and I'm a peaceful person. But the thought popped into my head, that he could be made to tell us what he knows. Use their methods. I acknowledge it would be a bad precedent, but the concept is appealing in this case.

6. I don't think Sessions will back Trump or Flynn

Now that he is in, he doesn't need Trump. Pence is on the same page with him.

7. He already said he didn't like being the sole scapegoat.

So I'm sure he doesn't want to stay quiet.

I would not be surprised if he ends up in the hospital with organ failure in the near future.

12. The 5th? That's a joke when the NSA has his conversations recorded

I was saying this yesterday. If the rat is cornered he'll spill his guts to make a deal. That was Malcolm Nance's advice on The Last Word last night. "These people should get lawyers and make deals".
