I can be the only one who thinks that Flynn escaping jail time entirely is a grave injustice, if only because of the “lock her up” bullshit, right?
Even if his cooperation was full and crucial, I feel like justice demands at least some nonzero period of confinement for that, even if it’s like two weeks or some shit.

No I'm there with you. I mean I get why he did, but I don't like that he and his asshole son get to act all golden while being dirty as fuck.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
The Office also announced today that it has previously reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI [American Media, Inc.], in connection with AMI’s role in making the above-described $150,000 payment before the 2016 presidential election. As a part of the agreement, AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election. AMI further admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.
Assuming AMI’s continued compliance with the agreement, the Office has agreed not to prosecute AMI for its role in that payment. The agreement also acknowledges, among other things, AMI’s acceptance of responsibility, its substantial and important assistance in this investigation, and its agreement to provide cooperation in the future and implement specific improvements to its internal compliance to prevent future violations of the federal campaign finance laws. These improvements include distributing written standards regarding federal election laws to its employees and conducting annual training concerning these standards.
Is Trump the only person involved in the payment who claims it wasn't about the campaign at this point?

yes
which means the gop will soon take up the stance that it definitely was about the campaign but campaign finance laws are dumb and silly for republicans so who even cares

No, Trump has also said it was for the campaign.

The House Intelligence Committee have reached out to Cohen's lawyer to ask if Cohen fancies dropping in for a chat with them before he goes to sit in a cell for three years.
The House Intelligence Committee have reached out to Cohen's lawyer to ask if Cohen fancies dropping in for a chat with them before he goes to sit in a cell for three years.
Cohen has been hit with 1.4 million dollars in restitution, $500,000 in asset forfeiture, and $50,000 in fines also.
As much as I like the sound of jail forever, THIS is how you punish rich people. Hit them the one place they have any feeling.
So - no prison time for Trump? Just strip him of his assets and scrub the name completely from the face of the earth?
If it went that far it would be like making Voldemort a muggle, a fate far worse for him to bear, even if it is strictly speaking better than the one he deserves.
Can we get a clearer explanation about what this Hannity mass-tweet-deletion means in regard to the investigation / Russia collusion?
Cohen named Hannity as one of his 2/3 clients.
Spoilered for conjecture/speculation.
The prevailing theories are that it was related to the Russia tampering by being a propaganda mouth piece, or it was related to regular real estate fraud crimes. No one knows for sure, so it’s all conjecture and speculation.
It's worth mentioning that Cohen's only other client, Elliot Broidy, is currently embroiled in a huge scandal relating to him using his GOP contacts to gain enormously lucrative contracts in Africa worth billions of dollars. Mother Jones have been reporting on it today.
It's in no way related to Mueller's probe, but needless to say the fact that Hannity's lawyer is in jail and the only other two clients with that lawyer are currently entangled in financial corruption scandals, should be enough to cause Hannity concern, and sets him up for a good amount of scrutiny.
Its times like these that I'm glad the Internet is full of huge nerds who have backups of everything. If I don't get to delete that one picture of me at prom, you certainly don't get to delete your support for a convicted criminal.

Oh wait I remember now - Hannity was saying that Cohen helped him with real-estate stuff and that was part of what he got sentenced for right?
I love how mass-deleting tweets both never accomplishes it’s intended goal AND always makes you look fucking guilty as all hell.
It’s the internet equivalent of taking all your legal documents out in the middle of the street before furatively shredding them.

It's a fruitless measure because while the tweets are deleted from our and Hannity's viewing, it's more than likely Twitter keeps receipts on that shit on their end.

The answer is in the first word of the title in the article linked.

nuclear fission is powered by facts as well, thats why you need scientists to run nuclear reactors because they know lots of facts

Sean Hannity just deleted all of his tweets before Nov 10th.
Pat Dennis is part of American Bridge, a progressive think tank.

Edit - Don't get me wrong it's funny when snakes do this shit.
It suggests that something's about to come to light which makes some of those tweets look Very Bad.
It seems to be everything he ever tweeted about Cohen so presumably he's trying to distance himself from the most successful witch hunt ever.
