It just keeps coming.

He's after Iran again....

I think that's much the easiest way out - much simpler than impeachment.

Huge danger in this. POTUS's behaviour isn't the only problem. It would still leave the white supremacists in power, and reward the GOP for colluding with Russia. Donald's was right, we need to 'drain the swamp' and properly this time.

That's hideous lionheart. It's so corrupt and while I'm grateful it's in such an in-your-face way that it's not being unnoticed, it is still depressing that despite being noticed nothing appears to be being done about it.

And worse still, there are people who are so loyal to their party that they won't even see this as being wrong. Where on earth do we go from here?

Not a cost-free decision for Flynn to take the 5th, given further hit to reputation & earnings potential. Alternative must've been untenable

And yes, earnings potential has to be important to him, or why else take Russian & Turkish money that would so obviously cause problems.

Speculation that Flynn is either holding out for a pardon from Trump or a deal from FBI.

McMaster: "I don't remember exactly what the president said" to Russians in Oval. #thisweek

They're circling the wagons and covering up for each other now.

So he can still be asked to testify but has to invoke the 5th in response to each question put to him?

And Yes. It wouldn't be cost-free at all.

Well, back to the 'real world' for me later today. I was hoping that when I 'came in from the woods'🕵🏼 things would have progressed a bit further. Sigh

Flynn invoking the 5th. I think he's looking for a 'deal'. I know he's been turned down for immunity before, but if he really has the 'smoking gun' I have a feeling a deal will be made. A couple of the Watergate conspirators did deals that way. They may not 'need' Flynn now, that doesn't mean they won't 'need' him later.

Time to start packing up the caravan for our return to what passes as 'civilization' in 'Trump's America'. Gag.

Never mind, Across. Time for is probably early today.

Taking the 5th is supposed to mean that you simply avoid answering a question and that there should be no presumption of 'guilt' either way. I've never found that to be the case.

By the way, I swear I saw something earlier today that said Tim Farron was a-okay with fox hunting and making it legal again. What's that about????

'Cuts to farm programmes'? They surely can't really mean these budget proposals.
