1. Will have to see how far that goes

I remember Flynn promising "cooperation" and then the Kracken intervened back in the Mueller days...

2. These simpering wimps talk tough unitl they face hard time

Then they cry like little babies. What a bunch of pansies. ( And I know that's been an anti-gay slur...I don't intend it that way.)

3. Now, this is good, of course, but...

... over the past few months, we've heard tell of many an apparatchik who has flipped and promised to tell all, yet no indictments of major figures have been forthcoming. What does it matter if the little birdie sings, if his song is sung in a vacuum?

I really want to see somebody with serious name recognition behind bars.

6. I just want to see sentences....

Much much longer than 2 years. This case has been a disappointment as way too many are getting slap on the wrist and escape with "misdemenors" instead of felonies, which they truly are.
