Flynn plea brings Mueller closer to the White House
By Katie Bo Williams - 12/01/17 07:12 PM EST

The guilty plea from former national security advisor Michael Flynn has brought special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation onto the front lawn of the White House.

Flynn, who on Friday pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about the nature of a series of calls with the Russian ambassador, is the first person successfully prosecuted by Mueller who held a formal position in the Trump administration.

And multiple outlets on Friday reported that current senior White House adviser Jared Kushner was the one who directed at least some of Flynn’s calls to the ambassador — in a potential violation of a law prohibiting private citizens from engaging in foreign policy.

Which is ok. They all  can point to Trump. He has not made any statements to the fbi... so "process" crimes with no underlying crime...mean nothing.

Then why isn't obummer or Romney not in jail?

Is it normal for presidential candidates to insert themselves into global events by dialing up heads of state? In fact, Obama did pretty much the same thing — multiple times, no less — as a candidate during the 2008 campaign.

Obama, like Romney, embarked on a foreign trip as a candidate, meeting face-to-face with leaders such as Afghan President Hamid Karzai, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (headline: "Obama Talks Tough About Iran During Visit to Israel").

Then, after hostilities erupted between Georgia and Russia in August 2008, both Obama and Republican challenger John McCain phoned Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, while condemning Russia for violating Georgia’s sovereignty.
