Lin Wood is the real deal. Good for Carter Page.Nolte: Nick Sandmann’s Lawyer Lin Wood to Represent Carter Page Against Media
Nick Sandmann’s lawyer, Lin Wood, has agreed to represent Carter Page, the former Trump campaign staffer falsely accused of being a Russian agent.
“Late last year I planned to ‘semi-retire’ to write and focus on Nick Sandmann cases.

As part of her duties during the so-called Russian reset, then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton led the way on U.S. involvement in a Russian government technology initiative that was intended to be the Russian equivalent of America’s Silicon Valley known as Skolkovo. The “innovation city,” located outside Moscow, has some 30,000 workers in state-of-the-art facilities under strict government control.

No; he not only didn’t discuss the sanctions but made no promises of modifying or ending them. He commented solely how Moscow should not react to the sanctions and create an escalation, which neither was a violation of the Logan Act nor undercutting Obama admin policy.OK.

In what depth is a matter that lawyers earn, (and I use the term "earn" very loosely) their money.No; he not only didn’t discuss the sanctions but made no promises of modifying or ending them.

There’s literally nothing wrong with these comments whether from Flynn or anyone else.

But, in the end, I agree with you regarding whether or not Flynn did anything that warranted what has happened as a result of this incident. This is a politically motivated prosecution based on the thinnest of evidence. If it was involving anyone else, it would not have even been and should not have been, brought forward.
