President Donald Trump on Monday morning claimed that the FBI “destroyed” former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s life but did not go after Hillary Clinton, telling reporters outside the White House that he feels “very badly” for Flynn.
“I feel badly for Gen. Flynn. I feel very badly. He’s led a very strong life. And I feel very badly,” Trump told reporters. “I will say this, Hillary Clinton lied many times to the FBI, nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life.”

Trump’s Monday morning comments echoed a Saturday tweet reacting to Flynn’s Friday guilty plea.
So General Flynn lies to the FBI and his life is destroyed, while Crooked Hillary Clinton, on that now famous FBI holiday “interrogation” with no swearing in and no recording, lies many times…and nothing happens to her? Rigged system, or just a double standard?

Flynn on Friday reached a plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team and pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russian officials during the Trump transition.
Wait until you see what they do with your life.
Every fucking day
More jaw dropping stupidity an outright lies.
Keep trying Donnie It may grab the morning news cycle…But
The deflection ain’t working with Mueller
He is like a pit bull locked on your ankle and he will bring you and your crooked administration down

I know the Republican Party is completely complicit in this and will never do its duty to protect this republic. But I also know this crazy son of a bitch is going to destroy himself. He doesn’t need any help for that.
YOU and Flynn have destroyed Democracy, this Country and its standing in the world. Right now the Special Counsel is the only thing attempting to save this Nation from the damage this 71 yr old, played out jackass has caused.
BTW keep picking on the Intelligence Community and implicating yourself, it will hasten your long over due demise.
Does he feel badly for the people whose lives he and the GOP are destroying with the tax bill?
