Flynns Brother Confirms Hes Selling House To Pay Legal Bills In Russia Probe

Source: Talking Points Memo

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is selling his three-bedroom home just outside of Washington, D.C. in order to pay the legal bills associated with his guilty plea for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials, Flynn’s brother confirmed to ABC News Monday.

The house has been on the market since December, at an asking price of $895,000, ABC News reported. The house sale isn’t the first sign that Flynn is struggling to fund his own defense. Flynn’s siblings set up a legal defense fund in September and asked the public to donate to help pay his legal bills.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it, this has been a trying experience” for Flynn and his family, Flynn’s brother Joe Flynn told ABC News Monday. “It has been a crucible and it’s not over.”

Flynn pleaded guilty in December for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials during the transition. The retired general was indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the foreign power’s efforts to disrupt the election.

'Big House'.

2. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[greymattermom]

3. Good

All of them will lose any savings they have to pay for attorneys. Even the ones who aren't found guilty will pay a big price for associating with Trump. He doesn't care about them, and now they know.

[jrthin]

4. That's part of the penalty for being a traitor. nt

[machoneman]

5. Believe it or not, this IS significant.

Now that a Trump insider has revealed this tidbit, it will drive away ANY qualified republiscum staffers from seeking or accepting any position in the WH. Heck, even any Cabinet member who leaves would not allow Trump to find replacements for fear they will also get swept up into the probe, lose their house, spouse, etc.

Makes me wonder if by tying up his staff's money, Mueller's strategy in part may be deprive Trump of counsel, bad as its been up to now. If so, this will drive the idiot to make more mistakes perhaps not even related to Russiagate, thereby violating more laws and subjecting him to ever-newer prosecutions that the FBI already has in the can.

We can only hope.............

6. Hey General Flynn

I'm sending you my thoughts and prayers...see how much you can get for that???

[deurbano]

14. Good one!

[PatSeg]

7. "This has been a trying experience"???

The man knew what he was doing and the risks he was taking. Also having been head of military intelligence, he should have known he would be caught.

8. "It has been a crucible and its not over.

[Leghorn21]

9. Remember how much xxx loved Flynn, and I mean LOVED?? There were articles about how

xxx was waiting for Flynn to be cleared of any wrongdoing so he could triumphantly return to the WH, and xxx was waiting breathlessly for this to happen.

Xxx was told explicitly NOT to contact Flynn, but it was discovered that he texted “Stay strong!” to him.

I dunno. I guess it’s hard for me to believe Flynn has been set adrift, at least monetarily, by the xxx organization or putin or...whoever...

I’m one mistrustful mofo these days!! - and if this whole “Aw man, I’m so broke and struggling” signal is a ruse, I wouldn’t be surprised...

Just my two rubles!!

10. Flynns cooperating with Mueller. If Trump is talking to Flynn, Flynn is wearing a wire

per his deal with Mueller.

[njhoneybadger]

11. Fucking traitor should lose his freedom

[Motley13]

12. Exactly who is the maggot helping with their legal bills?

Probably another promise broken.

[politicaljunkie41910]

16. Trump is holding fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago to raise money for his re-election campaign and

hasn't lifted a finger to help any of his peeps who were doing his bidding for him, with their legal fees. The truly sad part is you hear about the $26M paid to Melania's "friend" for Inauguration Planning when there is already a committee that handles much of the activies related to the Inauguration, for every president, and they did for Trump as usual. So no one in the Trump Organization seems to know why this woman received $26M for planning activities and where the money went including Melania, who didn't seem to know anything about it when the story broke in the News.

The grifters in the WH seem to care only about themselves and making money and need to go NOW. If I were one of Trumps minions, (FTR, I could never have been one, but for pretend purposes) I would have thrown the entire administration under the bus by telling the truth about anybody and everybody I knew who was also involved, from day one, when I knew the Intelligence Committees had my recordings on tape.

This family of Grifters are racking up money from whomever and wherever they can get it and leaving a trail of staff members to fend for themselves. The only good thing is that the handwriting is on the walls, and anyone remaining in the WH who is part of the Trump Administration is on notice that they will have to fend for themselves while the Grifters accept secret loans and handouts which will probably never be recovered.

13. You mean crime doesnt pay?

I’m all shook up...

15. Thankfully, sometimes bad things happen to the actually bad people.

17. Hey, why doesn't the whole klan just pack up and move south to go look for those "Muslim signs" Mike

went on about?
