    Why do you call that justice, nos4?. Did he not do the things he plead guilty to and was convicted of?

    Flynn replaced his legal team last year and has been trying to withdraw his guilty plea, arguing he is the victim of misconduct by prosecutors. In light of new documents this appears to be the case. His treatment by the Mueller team is an utter disgrace.

    Believe whatever you want. Flynn cooperated with the Mueller Investigation AND plead guilty twice for lying to the FBI (along with admitting to other crimes he wasn't charged with) AND tRump fired him for cause. Judge Sullivan is a Reagan & Bush appointee with a decades-long reputation of hostility to "overzealous" Federal Prosecutors who is on the record suggesting in open court, in reference to redacted national security sections of the criminal complaint, that Flynn should have been charged with treason. Facts, NOS. It doesn't matter what you pestilent, alt-right, MAGA, trumpistanis believe.

    It is also a fact that Flynn has been trying to withdraw his guilty plea citing government vindictiveness. Given newly released documents this appears to be the case. You would condemn a war hero for treason premised on selective information.

    Some General. Peed his pants and pleaded guilty to something he didn't do because he was scared of the big, bad FBI. Not like he didn't have the President of the United States behind him the whole time.

    Wow. The case against Michael Flynn has been dropped! Finally some justice.

    Incoming meltdown.

    Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue...and not lose any supporters. Trump, and his lap dog, Barr wanted the charges against Flynn dropped.

    Flynn pleaded guilty to MANY crimes (he was only prosecuted for one) and that charge has been dropped...so "finally some justice" is an example of a Trump supporter doing what Trump said they would do for him.

    Adolf Hitler had that sort of support also...as did Pol Pot and Idi Amin.

    Wonder why that kind of person garners that kind of backing?

    You strike me as someone who has never seriously considered an idea outside of their own belief system in their lives.

    Of course Flynn is corrupt and deserves to be in prison. So does Trump. Half the administration are outright criminals. You'd have no problem recognizing this if it were a Democrat in office, and you know it.

    Worth pondering about that for just a few seconds and then asking yourself if this red-blue thing is really the best way to approach the truth.

    He appeals to the masses. Simple. Relateable. Speaks his mind. And yes nods to the relevant majority. Somehow all while being a billionaire real estate tycoon. As a skeptic I could go on endlessly but. Yeah. Gotta hope for the best.

    What exactly is he doing currently about the lockdown and the economy? Will things open up soon or no? Because if things plan on remaining closed then people will need recurring payments. One stimulus pay of $1200 will not be enough. For some the montly rent is even more than that and that leaves no money for food, gas, etc.

    Most of the stimulus money and Fed support went to corporations who used it to help boost their own stock. (I read (or heard) somewhere that 90% of the move up from the recent low was due to buybacks, but I'd have to check the details on that as under the CARES act they're not supposed to do it directly). Anyway, the stock market is fine, which means the GOP Senate is not going to help you any further. And the Dems have taken care of their donors too, so you're on your own. Some here are of the view you have no choice but to vote for one of these loathsome parties in November, regardless. I suggest you give them both the same finger they've just given you.

    E.g. "Apple Inc (AAPL.O) on Monday capitalized on the Federal Reserve’s emergency measures in response to the coronavirus outbreak to issue its cheapest bonds in years, making it the latest blue-chip company to do so to fund stock buybacks and dividends.
    ...
    Apple's offering illustrates how companies with the best credit ratings are boosting shareholder returns by tapping cheap debt made available through the Fed's backstopping of the credit markets. "
