Lock him up!

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn denied to FBI agents in an interview last month that he had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country’s ambassador to the United States before President Trump took office, contradicting the contents of intercepted communications collected by intelligence agencies, current and former U.S. officials said.

The Jan. 24 interview potentially puts Flynn in legal jeopardy, as lying to FBI is a felony, but any decision to prosecute would ultimately lie with the Justice Department.

The good news is that Flynn's lies will have no impact on the economy. The bad news is that consumer confidence is surging among people who tend to overspend. What do rednecks like to buy?

Это идеальный график trickle-down economics. Люди с высоким доходом знают, что их доходы увеличатся за счет снижения налогов и прибыли от инвестиций. Люди со средне-невысоким доходом верят, что им от этого перепадет.
