| Flynn made his confession. | |
| But if you're looking for a smoking gun that leads to Russiagate, you won't find it. | |
| Tonight, the ongoing Russia investigation has reached President Trump's innermost circle. | |
| Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn says that he is cooperating with the special counsel's probe into possible cooperation between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. | |
| Flynn pled guilty to repeatedly lying to the FBI, including making false statements about his December 2016 conversations with Russia's then ambassador to the U.S., Sergei Kislyak. | |
| According to the statement of offense, Flynn lied when he told the FBI he did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak. | |
| Look suspicious. | |
| Flynn met with a Russian official and you can't do that. | |
| But you can do that. | |
| Discussions about future policy issues was part of Flynn's job during the transition. | |
| The Russian ambassador's job too. | |
| That's not collusion. | |
| Smacks of Israel gay to me. | |
| A senior Israeli official tells CNN the Israeli government reached out to Trump to weigh in after failing to persuade Washington to cancel the vote. | |
| Today, gratitude from Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer, who tweeted Israel, quote, deeply appreciates the clear and unequivocal call by Trump. | |
| Israel first pressed the issue with Trump. | |
| Kushner then directed Flynn to ask the Russian ambassador to veto the resolution, not as payback for supposedly hacking the election, but acting on behalf of a foreign nation to undermine U.S. foreign policy. | |
| That's called Israelgate. | |
| Continuing coverage on Fox Top Story, President Trump's former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn admits now that a senior member of the Trump administration team told him to reach out to the Russian officials, and he did so. | |
| Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano tells the Fox Business Network earlier today that we could be on the verge of a constitutional crisis. | |
| Judge Napolitano is with us live now on the phone. | |
| Judge, how so? Well, if Robert Mueller has enough evidence, credible evidence, with which to charge the President of the United States with a crime, the constitutional crisis will come as he decides what to do. | |
| Does he indict the President? | |
| Mueller can't find Russiagate either. | |
| Fact is, it wasn't the Russian ambassador who expressed gratitude for Trump's actions against the Obama administration. | |
| It was Israel's ambassador. | |
| Start down with indicting Flynn for violating the Logan Act, and then gather proof to indict Kushner. | |
| On this issue, if I can just ask a couple of very basic dumb questions, would the president-elect or even a candidate talking to one of his advisors to reach out to the Russians, would that violate the Logan Act? | |
| No, it wouldn't. | |
| First of all, the Logan Act was passed in 1799. | |
| Nobody's ever been prosecuted under it. | |
| Why? Because the federal courts, especially a New York U.S. federal court, said in 1964 it's unconstitutional. | |
| Unless you have Israel meddling to stop a UN security resolution. | |
| And a Kushner who failed to disclose he led a foundation funding illegal Israeli settlements before the UN vote. | |
| A cursory look at Flynn's court statement reveals a very senior member of the presidential transitional team directed Flynn to contact foreign governments, including Russia, to learn where they stood on the resolution with attempts to influence their votes. | |
| That very senior member is identified elsewhere as Kushner. | |
| Flynn, at the behest of Kushner, both acting as agents of a foreign government, sought to subvert US foreign policy on behalf of Israel. | |
| They violated the Logan Act. | |
| It's still on the books, people. | |
| The only part Russia played was being asked, prompted by Israel, to change their vote into a veto. | |
| Russia declined, telling Trump they would not change their vote. | |
| But since there's no daylight between the U.S. and Israel, the hacks on the hill will never see that Trump's team were in collusion with Israel. | |
| That's the reason Lynn lied. |
