READ: Michael Flynn's Legal Team Splitting From Trump's Legal is Telling
Make us preferred on Google

Michael T. Flynn's legal team informed President Trump's lawyers they could no longer discuss the investigation and would be parting ways, indicating that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller.


According to the New York Times, four people involved in the case divulged that Flynn's lawyers have been disclosing details of Mueller's investigation with Trump's laywers. The probe is examining White House officials in Trump's circle who may have colluded with Russia by using incriminating information to aid in Trump's victory over Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

The Times said:

Defense lawyers frequently share information during investigations, but they must stop when doing so would pose a conflict of interest. It is unethical for lawyers to work together when one client is cooperating with prosecutors and another is still under investigation.

Despite a lack of sufficient evidence Mr. Flynn might be cooperating with the special counsel, the announcement led Trump's team to speculate otherwise. Both legal teams refused to comment, and the four people involved in the case requested anonymity.

There is a possibility that Trump's former national security advisor may not be influenced by the justice department. The Times wrote:

Some lawyers withdraw from information-sharing arrangements as soon as they begin negotiating with prosecutors. And such negotiations sometimes fall apart.

Trump's attorney Jay Sekulow, said, "No one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about General Flynn cooperating against the president."

Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and political consultant Rick Gates were indicted on 12 felony counts including money laundering, lying to the government and other acts of conspiracy against the U.S. They also supported and lobbied for a pro-Russian party led by Vladimir Putin's ally, Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych. But after their charges were filed, in addition to foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, the dust on the pandaemonium temporarily settled at the White House.

Mueller is currently honing in on Flynn's private meeting with a Russian ambassador attended by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner during the presidential transition. Those with Russian ties have been reaching out to officials within Trump's circle with the prospect of offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton.

But the White House is confident that Flynn has no incriminating evidence on Donald Trump.

White House lawyer Ty Cobb told the Times last month, “He likes General Flynn personally, but understands that they have their own path with the special counsel. I think he would be sad for them, as a friend and a former colleague, if the process results in punishment or indictments. But to the extent that that happens, that’s beyond his control.

We may see further developments occurring in the coming weeks.

The Internet is bracing themselves for something yuge.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
