Departing the White House for Utah, where Donald Trump will announce an early Christmas present to the Koch brothers and other swamp benefactors by announcing a massive rollback of the Bears Ears National Monument, he stopped for a minute to answer questions for the press. After a nonsensical rambling about tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, the stock market and states’ rights, Trump responded to a question about Michael Flynn and offered up a defense of the disgraced former National Security Advisor—sure he lied, but it is so unfair it ‘destroyed his life!’ And something, something, lock her up!
Lying to the FBI is a crime. The FBI isn’t destroying Michael Flynn’s life. The disgraced former National Security Advisor’s decision to lie to federal agents is his own undoing. But is Trump’s whining about how “unfair” the charge is a signal that he intends to pardon Michael Flynn?
And not for nothing, but Trump’s claims Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI are completely false, as noted by then FBI Director James Comey, despite the fact that Republicans were hellbent on trying to tie her to such a charge in one fruitless investigation after another.
Hillary Clinton did not lie to FBI investigators during their probe into her use of a private server as secretary of state, FBI Director James Comey testified Thursday.
"We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI," Comey told House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) during one of the hearing's opening exchanges.
Trump’s continued attacks on Hillary Clinton, more than one year after the 2016 is pathological madness and a true disgrace to the nation. Let. It. Go.
