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.

If we are going to follow a "whatabout" argument, then, why hasn't Kushner been indicted for his misrepresentations made under penalty of perjury in his SF86 form?
At this point, his security clearance should have been revoked many times over. Yes, I know that Trump has the authority to reinstate it, but that is what should have happened. The OPM or FBI or whoever granted his clearance should have revoked it and force Trump to reinstate it.

Because Muelluer is going up the food chain. Just because nothing happened to Kushner yet doesn't mean nothing will happen.
