CaliCat reacted to Amica Nostra in Mueller probes Flynn's role in alleged plan to deliver cleric to Turkey
You are missing the point, he has every reason to assure anyone who has information that would say the President had knowledge of, approved of or directed their illegal activity. It will cause them to risk trial and conviction.

CaliCat reacted to Jacque67 in Mueller probes Flynn's role in alleged plan to deliver cleric to Turkey
Interesting analysis
Journal’s latest story however adds three crucial new pieces:
First, that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the matter as part of his larger probe into Trump associates and Russian election interference;
Second, that a second meeting occurred in December, following the election and after Flynn had been named national security adviser designate to the Trump administration, at which planning continued; and
Third, that this December meeting apparently focused on a more developed plan than what was discussed in September, including discussions of “the possibility of transporting Mr. Gulen by private jet to the Turkish prison island of Imrali” and a proposal to pay Flynn and his son up to $15 million for successfully delivering Gulen by one means or another.
In other words, the import of the new Wall Street Journal story is the news that the special counsel is investigating whether, during the presidential transition, the incoming national security adviser—while acting as unregistered agent of a foreign government—was also plotting a kidnapping on behalf of that foreign power.
What does it all mean?
There have been media reports over the past several weeks regarding possible indictments against Michael Flynn and his son. NBC recently reported that Mueller’s team believe it has enough evidence against the pair to seek an indictment. And sources familiar with the Flynn family have revealed that both the elder Flynn and his wife are especially worried about the possibility of their son facing serious legal jeopardy. Both the fact that a public indictment has not yet materialized and Flynn’s concern for his son have lead to speculation that he might choose to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation in exchange for a deal—or, in the alternative, that the Mueller camp is busily pressuring him now to do so.
Previously, most analysts seemed to be assuming that possible indictments for Flynn would relate to his failure to disclose income and information on his security clearance forms and elsewhere as required, possible false statements to investigators, and for failure to register as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Those are all serious matters on their own. But the latest allegations open up a whole new ballpark of possibilities.
The Journal story is ambiguous as to what the plot actually was and the manner and time in which it might be executed. On the one hand, discussion of putting someone on a private jet in exchange for $15 million would indicate the Flynn’s were not discussing using legal processes here. There is a word in the English language lexicon for forcibly putting someone on a plane against his will outside of the legal systems that allow compulsion and seizure of persons: The word is kidnapping and it is an extremely serious offense.
The federal kidnapping statute is at 18 U.S.C. 1201and the laws of Pennsylvania—where Gulen lives—would presumably have something to say about aspects of the plot (assuming the facts as reported by the Journal are true) as well. Flynn was a private individual—a campaign adviser—at the September meeting, and in the transition period during which the December meeting took place, he was a designated government official who had not yet assumed office. When government officials act or conspire to transfer someone, against their will and not pursuant to regular legal process, to a foreign jurisdiction, that is often described as “extraordinary rendition.” Prior administrations have acknowledged the use of the practice with respect to foreigners captured overseas. Even then, it is extremely controversial. As applied to a domestic person outside of traditional legal processes, it is simply criminal—under all imaginable circumstances. Plotting to do it, is a conspiracy to kidnap.

There is another option. Do what Muddy Mitch did: complete silence, for 44 seconds, on camera, no less.

Make sure you watch all 44 seconds of this. WARNING: It is a tough watch. http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/11/09/mobile-reporters-question-mcconnell-moore-sot.cnn -

They are not real Christians. True Christians don't go back sifting through the old testament to find something that suits their narrative; they stay true to the teachings of Jesus. That's why when Moore starts citing old testament scripture to justify his statutory rape, he loses all credibility. In addition, if he is indeed innocent, all he needs to do is have his lawyers sue this woman for defamation turned into libel, which is a tort.

All he has to do is check his passport. In all likelihood he's lying.

The other poster was joking. We all know the only unemployed people in America are those who don't want to work. The rest of us can get jobs wherever we want, because Trump fixed the economy, and unemployment is non existent.

If the allegations were not true, Moore's lawyers would have already filed suit for libel. Smoke and fire. They often go together.
Besides, Fox is such a joke.

I am convinced that 44 seconds is the time it took Muddy Mitch to review his entire adult life and identify the skeletons that may need to be tended to as a result of these late scandals. #madmen

You know something is rotten when a grown up man needs to take a 44-second long pause to comment on something so heinous.

Congrats on the new family member!
The reason they all reported the same event in a similar way is because they all saw the same thing. Trump flipped. America got jipped.
