Flynn Plea Deal Signals the Weakness of Mueller's Case Alan Dershowitz, The Hill
Excerpt: If it were good law, former Presidents Reagan and Carter would have been prosecuted: Reagan for negotiating with Iran’s ayatollahs when he was president-elect, to delay releasing the American hostages until he was sworn in; Carter for advising Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to reject former President Clinton’s peace offer in 2000-2001. Moreover, Jesse Jackson, Jane Fonda, Dennis Rodman and others who have negotiated with North Korea and other rogue regimes would have gone to prison.
So in case you've been confused about what happened on Friday on back of the slanderous and false reporting of ABC's Brian Ross... Flynn's guilty plea included information that two Trump transition team officials asked him to work with the Russians regarding a plan to combat ISIS in Syria. Two conversations with Russian officials took place in December. As Porky Pig would say that's all folks. And to the point of The Hill article, if that type of thing were a problem the first major accomplishment of the Reagan administration would have been illegal.
Brian Ross Suspended Over False Report About Trump Vivian Wang, NY Times
This is the second time this year Brian Ross has slandered the President in a way that's demonstrably false. ABC's punishment? A one month suspension. I guess credibility isn't really an issue with the core consumer of their news product. However he does mark the latest GSS media type to get nailed for falsifying news to attempt to hurt President Trump. Three CNN news people lost jobs earlier this year. And as a reminder what did Brian Williams do during the Bush administration? How about Dan Rather and CBS? Notice a pattern here? I'm sure it's a coincidence that none of this happened with MSM outlets during the Obama years.
