In some ways it's better that Trump got elected. This is real history right here guys. Too bad about the impact of his shit and republican shit but he can't get shit done anyway.

Has this been corroborated by anyone else? It hasn't really blown up on Twitter as much as you'd expect it to be.
What Flynn or the OP thing?
There's currently only whispers of the Flynn ordeal but that's likely all you'll get until something becomes actionable.

The ultimate 'end' could still easily drag out a couple of years.
Don't just eat popcorn. Buy stock in popcorn brands.
Just shows the checks and balances everyone always believed existed could be manipulated. You are seeing the true veil of American democracy be diminished by the first authoritarian administration in a long time. The US will never be the same after this. There is no coming back. No bipartisanship even if Trump gone in 4 years. Democrats will not be able to work with these kinds of people on the right, right now. So much for God and Country. It is all about their own asses at this point.

I am liking these developments, but I say so with reservations.

Don't discount the possibility this will be isolated for the "good of the country" to just flynn and a few others. No checking into what trump said or knew regarding Russian quid pro quo no checking into kushners empire or bribes paid in china no disclosure of tax returns no rosneft unmasking..
I don't think anyone is saying this is the end
It's definitely a progression for a suspect to flip for immunity but there's still a long way to go

Trump would have nothing to do with the creation or actions of a special commission. That is completely up to Congress. Democrats would need to create enough political pressure to peel off enough Republicans to get it done.
Trump throws temper tantrums and shifts blame constantly, to the point that people question his mental health. He can't inspire much loyalty in anyone but the idiots who voted for him. Flynn can see the bus they're trying to throw him under from a mile away at this point, so it's no surprise he'd flip for the FBI.
Every day we get one step closer to "Trump will die in prison" becoming a reality.

Do people in the US who rat on Russia wind up dead?
Ya know, I wouldn't be surprised if Flynn ends up dead at this point, we've already crossed so many lines as we sprint towards authoritarianism that we might as well add political assassination to the list.

Oh. I thought Bush created the 9/11 commission and Reagan created the Tower commission?

Maybe wait for any of it to be confirmed at all. I don't think rumors are thread worthy.

I should clarify I just rechecked myself, the President can create Commissions, but the Congress can as well. If the Congress wants a Commission, the President can't do block it. Congress can also create a select Committee if they wanted as well.

I don't think it's thread worthy until it's published in a real way by a reputable outlet. There is way too much noise out there right now.

It won't feel good until that shitbag and his cronies are out of the office entirely.
Lol rumors get threads on GAF everyday.
There would likely never be any direct confirmation of this.
What makes you say that
A reputable FBI leak might happen. Doubtful, but possible.
Unless that happens we won't know until the FBI drops a bomb on Trump.

This administration is leakier than a colander bathtub. Someone in Langley would leak it for sure.

I'm sure it's not 'everybody' that believed in checks and balances, it is well known that the US has many democratic deficits. I know there truly are people who say 'Land of the free, home of the brave' unironically, but most people know the US still even haven't managed to get 'one man, one vote' correct, and I think many people have herd of the term 'gerrymandering' as well.
You think it is a coincidence that whenever the US 'bring democracy' to some country they implement a system completely unlike the one they have? It is because it's well known that the US system - which includes winner takes all - is very, very vulnerable susceptible to be taken over by those in power.
For all we know, this is someone in the FBI leaking this. There's absolutely nobody else who should know about this at this point.
You're definitely not going to hear this being confirmed by anybody involved in the investigation until its time to go public again which could be months from now.

Flipping Flynn is something I will be cautious about until actual confirmation. Not leaks, but either him going public, or the feds confirming.

Why would the Feds ever confirm flipping someone? You expecting a press release?

So, the general consensus or belief is that Nunes was giving the WH a heads-up about Flynn when he raced over there? This is so crazy!
