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.

You're correct, it isn't an argument. It is an immediate refutation to demonstrate the logical fallacy of a reply to an argument. And it is grounds to say that you're not replying to the allegation which has already been made, you're distracting from it. So that those of us who want to stay on topic can do so.
This sig for rent.

Except that argument is not how one is picking a side now is it? This is the bullshit that left pulls out to sway naive and fools. This is exactly why liberalism is so popular among college students and teens. The game is about power, and the rules ought to be equal, above all. Just like I can't break your legs before a race then claim that you are weaker than me and hence my victory is fair, even though that's factually correct. And if I do and still get to keep the prize, then you ought to do the same in next race. And if you do, I don't get to claim "whataboutism". That's not an argument or refutation or anything, that's simply being a dishonest fraud.
