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.

    Proof proof proof? Any proof at all or you're just flinging more whataboutisms. FBI director says there is none.

    Flynn ADMITTED it. Flynn is definitely guilty. 0-5 years for him.

    FBI director says there is none.

    Looks like the FBI director said otherwise in a draft circulated through Congress [soylentnews.org] and notes in the very speech several felonies committed.

    Flynn ADMITTED it.

    While that's (usually) a stronger standard of proof, I consider the Clinton email mess sufficiently proved. Obviously, you don't for some reason.
