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.

- the GOP is pushing HARD to put a pedophile into the senate in alabama, and believes that its perfectly fine for 30+ year old men to fondle 14 year old girls
This isn't quite true. The mainstream GOP (esp. the non-Southern ones) is very embarrased by this, and they've been pushing Moore to drop out, but he's refusing and insists he's innocent even though a whole bunch of women are all telling the same story. Somehow, with the Trump fans, if a bunch of women make allegations about a Hollywood mogul, they must be true, but if the same thing happens to a GOP politician, it must be all lies.... Serious hypocrisy there.
Anyway, the GOP is by no means united behind Moore, nor do they agree with fondling 14yo girls. The GOP is a lot of things, but it's unfair to paint all of them, including people like McCain and Romney and Boehner, with that brush. Now if you look at Evangelical Southern (esp. Alabama) GOP voters (and their politicians), then yes, I think it's entirely fair to say they all believe it's perfectly fine for 30+yo men to fondle 14yo girls. Evangelicals are a bunch of loons. But the GOP is no more united and of one mind than the Democrats are (e.g. Hillary vs Bernie voters).
