Putin has a looooooooonnnnng reach and the inexhaustible desire for revenge that only a very insecure man can nourish. Manafort knows this. You can figure out when Flynn found this out by when he started this cutting up.

They both know what'll happen if they really spill the beans. Trump is too arrogant or too stupid to figure that out.

This is exactly it. It's why Manafort started backing out, too. Putin can reach out and touch anybody anywhere.

My local grocery store too. For some reason, it's always the 1980s there: it's usually Talking Heads or Depeche Mode or Blondie as I push the cart about. Last time it was Gary Numan as I waited in the checkout line. (I like it, even though it makes me think of my father and his big band 78s.)

Noice 🤙 I’ve never been into double overhead sets (except to paddle my ass off past them) but enjoy a nice, easy peeler on my longboard.

Wow, considering where we are now, lying to the FBI seems positively, innocently adorable.

Sidney's on the job. She'll get it up to 6,000 years with a novel "moon the judge in open court" strategy.

Yup. If he starts blabbing who his recruiter was, f'rinst.

Judge Sullivan's is not going to beat Flynn to death with his gavel.

He has, however, done a damn good job of tenderizing him.

He's a retired Flag Officer, so there's no chance he'll lose his retainer pay (it's not a pension, and there is a difference).

Now, if he retired from the Enlisted ranks, say, as an E6 or E7, that retainer pay would be gone in a heartbeat.
