In other news, former Trump adviser Michael Flynn not only lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russia, he also lied about his contacts with other governments such as Israel. Flynn reportedly tried persuade foreign officials to kill a resolution condemning illegal Israeli settlements at the UN. President Obama was still in office at the time.
In related news, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner reportedly ordered Flynn to contact other governments in attempt to kill the resolution on Israeli settlements.
Finally, Kushner also reportedly directed Flynn to contact the Russians during the transition period to say that Russia shouldn't retaliate after being sanctioned by the Obama administration because the Trump regime would reverse it.
How long before Jared flips on dear old dad? Who will Ivanka side with?
For your amusement, here's some footage of people chanting "lock him up" when Flynn left the courthouse this morning.

There's not much I can say about the GOP's tax bill that I haven't already said. They're expected to vote on it tonight, but as of this writing we don't even have a copy of the final bill.
Have a good weekend.
