Who gives a **** what Sally thinks; she was probably in on letting Hillary off the hook.

From Snoops:
The officer wrote:
Her husband and father of the twins is Stephen Bannon. Mrs. Bannon said she has been seeing Mr. Bannon for approximately 6 1/2 years. In the beginning of their relationship, she said they [had] 3 or 4 arguments that became physical, and they have been going to counseling. There has not been any physical abuse in their arguments for about the past 4 years. Mrs. Bannon said they have been arguing a lot, but not violence.
The*police report goes on to note that Bannon had slept on the couch on New Years Eve, the night before the alleged violence. He became upset with Piccard when she asked to use a credit card to go grocery shopping. The altercation escalated until Piccard told him she wanted a divorce.
[Piccard] said she spit at him, and [he] reached up to her from the driver’s seat of his car and grabbed her left wrist. He pulled her down, as if he was trying to pull into the car, over the door. [Piccard] said Mr. Bannon grabbed at neck, also pulling her into the car. She said that she started to fight back, striking at his face, so he would let go of her. After a short period of time she was able to get away from him.
She ran back into the house, where the couple’s children were, and tried to call 911, but Bannon jumped over her and the twins, grabbed the phone and threw it across the room before leaving the home, according to the report. He was charged with misdemeanor*witness intimidation, domestic violence with traumatic injury and battery. he pleaded not guilty. The case was dismissed*when Piccard didn’t appear for trial; the couple ultimately divorced.

This doesn't sound like a beating to me. If he physically touched her in a rough manner, I would admit that is wrong. But this hardly rises to the level of a wife beater. Plus these claims were all from her and she never showed up in court and all charges were dropped. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Perhaps the charges weren't true at all. And on such flimsy "evidence" you have no right to call him a wife beater, unless of course your just another Trump hater and anything that might remotely reflect negatively on Trump, you're all over it.

Well then... just be grateful you've learned something today.
At least now you know why people call him a wife-beater!

Word on the street is that the administration is sniffing out replacements for Flynn. (And there's a different poll in this forum about whether he's on the way out.) Of course the narrative will be that he lied to the VP and the press secretary and betrayed the administration's trust. But did he? The most important question in this whole affair is: what did the President know and when did he know it?

The timeline as we know it is:

December 29: Obama sanctions Russian officials over election hacking

December 29 (as reported in late January): Trump's national security advisor has been in touch with Russian ambassador

December 30: Trump weighs in on Putin's decision not to retaliate with--you guessed it!--praise:

February 9: Flynn Is Said to Have Talked to Russians About Sanctions Before Trump Took Office


Did Trump direct Flynn's actions?

IMO this makes more sense if both Flynn and Trump are patsies for someone else rather than Trump being the mastermind.

Yates was doing her job, protecting trump and Pence.

Who would Hillary be in a felon Flynn/Russia/trump/Logan Act/sanctions thread ?

I don't know who the f--- you think you are that you can publicly run down an American hero like you do here, but I can say with complete confidence that you're hopelessly confused.

Her oath was like any other federal government employee... she swore to uphold and defend the Constitution-
Just as she was doing when she ordered the justice department not to enforce the travel ban.
And...
Just as she was doing when she tried to help the Trump administration avoid looking like the idiots that they are, by warning them about Flynn and his lies.

Felon Flynn lied to the FBI. Pence will eventually pardon trump. Corker will make a great VP .

Too bad for trump he didn't listen to Yates on multiple issues.

Too bad for the USA and the free world that trump is getting his orders from alt-reichists Bannon and Miller .

If Trump didn't direct Flynn's actions, then he has miraculously and coincidentally surrounded himself with a more astonishing number of Russian connections than Vladimir Putin.

Why? There is nothing wrong with Flynn talking to foreign governments and in fact he should. What's your problem? This occurs anytime our governments go through transition from one party to another.

I agree. Clinton and eight of her campaign staff actually had business interests in Iran, and coincidentally she didn't even once criticize Iran throughout the campaign. In addition, Iran's government on multiple occasions secretly leaked information to the US media that was critical of Trump. Oddly, our media didn't report any of this.

1. Why is Flynn a felon?
2. I know that it appears that Flynn lied to Pence and that's why Trump asked for his resignation.

So? You still make no sense. Flynn's not a felon.

Where's your proof of your last claim? And I don't mean someone else's opinion. I mean proof.
 
'Flynn's just a patsy. He was acting at Trump's behest.' Get's major support on this site.

I'm betting 'Very Fake News' channel CNN is the preferred news source of that majority polled!

It's called ridicule. It's how one typically responds to what is ridiculous. Unlike other liberals on here, I praise the Trump Administration when they do things I agree with and have started such threads, but he was completely unhinged in his press conference today.

Odd that he would feel the need to lie about it to people like the Vice President and repeatedly to the media, huh?

I think when he testifies, or the contents of the calls are revealed, we may see why it was possibly wrong.

You may be right- he's totally innocent but just a ****up who lies constantly.

I don't know why he lied either, but I don't know you say he lies constantly. I reserve that kind of assessment for someone like Hillary. I'm sure more info will be forthcoming in the coming days and weeks.
