Point of clarification here as it is important

Flynn has a date for Sentencing, not trial. He is a convicted felon for his role in the Russia Scandal, he pleaded guilty

but there is no scandal here, just the National Security adviser, one of Trump's "best people" going to a federal penitentiary

Appreciate the clarification. Still working on my first cup of coffee.

Actually, he plead guilty to lying to the FBI, not colluding with Russians. He may well have done that too but that is not what he is charged with.

That was a tap on the wrist as a reward for his cooperation. I'm watching with fascination to see if Trump pardons him or if he, out of pique, because of said cooperation, he'll leave him twisting in the wind...

If you didn't realize that Washington politics is a swamp I can't understand how. I mean there is not a single one up there that I would trust to hold my wallet while I jumped in a pool to save their kid.

"drain the swamp" is meaningless sloganeering meant to rouse the rabble. and it seems to be working.

a confederacy of dunces

it's a good thing that so many capable folks are putting their hands on the hose to help drain the swamp

The congressional staffer who wrote the controversial memo for Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was once benchslapped by a federal judge for “ineptitude.”

Kash Patel, a top Nunes staffer and senior counsel for the House Intelligence Committee, traveled to London last summer to question the former British spy who wrote the Trump-Russia dossier.

Patel and another Nunes staffer, Doug Presely, went on the research mission without notifying the U.S. embassy or British government.

They also failed to inform the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) or GOP Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX), who took over the panel’s Russia probe after Nunes stepped aside over ethics concerns.
...
Patel was issued a rare “order of ineptitude” in 2016 by U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes, who faulted the lawyer’s handling of the prosecution of Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who was accused of trying to support ISIS.

“If the pretentious lawyers from ‘main’ justice knew what they were doing — or had the humility to ask for help from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Texas,” Hughes wrote, “it would not have taken three days, seven telephone calls, three voicemail messages and one snippy electronic message for them to indirectly ask the court for assistance in ordering a transcript.”
