Trump's tweet on Saturday appears to indicate that Trump was aware Flynn had lied to the FBI when he departed the administration in February. It also seems out of line with what a person close to White House counsel Don McGahn told the New York Times on Friday, which is that when former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates warned him about Flynn in January, she did not mention that Flynn had committed a federal crime. If Trump knew that Flynn was in the FBI's crosshairs when he asked former FBI Director James Comey, whom he later fired, to consider "letting Flynn go" the day after Flynn resigned, that could dramatically bolster the obstruction case federal prosecutors are building against him.

That is a stupid comment. A society must work together. I am sure you would like to be left out and let the rest of us pay for your services! You are like the person who doesn't want to be forced to buy insurance until you get sick or hurt, but you sure as hell will want a doctor; or the person who does not want to pay taxes to support an emergency medical system until you get hurt or injured and then you complain the ambulance didn't get there fast enough. Taxes are the cost of civilization. You right wingers want all the services, clean water, clean food, good roads, good fire and police protection, but you don't want to pay for them. <<Why don't you just pay higher taxes if that's what you want? You're free to do that. Just leave me and Gates and Buffet out of it. We want nothing tondnwith it.
