President Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel's investigation into the president's inner circle.

Mr. Flynn, who appeared in federal court in Washington, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russian interference in the 2016 election. His plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.

    We'll just have to keep imprisoning anyone who gets into the oval office if they can't stop violating the Constitution. Not supporting things such as the NSA's unconstitutional mass surveillance, the TSA, the countless undeclared wars going on overseas, etc. is a must. If there were real consequences for violating the law and/or the Constitution, we would have fewer violators.
