United States v. Michael Flynn: Government's reply to defendant's memorandum in aid of sentencing

"Nothing about the way the interview was arranged or conducted caused the defendant to make false statements to the FBI on January 24."

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5628…
Flynn "chose to make false statements about his communications with the
Russian ambassador weeks before the FBI interview, when he lied about that topi to the media, the incoming Vice President, and other members of the Presidential Transition Team. "
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5628…
A sitting National Security Advisor, former head of an intelligence agency, retired Lieutenant General, and 33-year veteran of the armed forces knows he should not lie to federal agents. He does not need to be warned it is a crime to lie to federal agents
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5628…
While the circumstances of the interview do not present mitigating considerations, assuming [Flynn] continues to accept responsibility for his actions, his cooperation & military service continue to justify a sentence at the low end of the guideline range

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

There are some remarkable things in this memo, things you may not be aware of.
First, there are three full pages of letters of support from a host of people, both well known and not so well known. It’s obvious that Gen. Flynn has a lot of friends and supporters. (pgs 3 through 5)

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism. 

#racism #systemicracism #history
If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
