Michael Flynn, who
spoke at the RNC last week,
appeared with Bill Maher and brushed off the "
Lock her up" chants at the convention as just sloganeering. Here are some dots.

colleagues say they have not seen Manafort, 64, in years and hear from
him only in occasional email missives. His most recent firm, Davis
Manafort, functionally broke up shortly after the 2008 presidential
election.
As that campaign was unfolding in the United States, the
notorious political fixer emerged overseas, playing a familiar role in
an unfamiliar place: advising Yanukovych, the pro-Russian strongman
whose ouster last month has triggered an international crisis
reminiscent of a Cold War spy novel.

Department Spokesperson, Office of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
June 24, 2011
The
United States is aware of the opening of the trial against former Prime
Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and reiterates its concern about the
appearance of politically-motivated prosecutions of opposition figures
in Ukraine. When the senior leadership of an opposition party is the
focus of prosecutions, out of proportion with other political figures,
this creates the appearance of a political motive. We urge the
Government of Ukraine to refrain from actions that create such an
appearance and undermine the rule of law in Ukraine. We will closely
monitor the legal proceedings against Yulia Tymoshenko and other
opposition figures.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
May 1, 2012
The
United States is deeply concerned by the treatment of former Prime
Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and other imprisoned members of her former
government. The photographs of Mrs. Tymoshenko released by the Ukrainian
Human Rights Ombudsman further call into question the conditions of her
confinement. We urge the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that Mrs.
Tymoshenko receives immediate medical assistance in an appropriate
facility and request that the U.S. Ambassador be given access to her. We
continue to call for her release, the release of other members of her
former government and the restoration of their full civil and political
rights.

The guy managing Trump's campaign whose delegates shouted "
lock her up"
also managed the campaign of the guy who in fact locked up his opponent
after his election. She was not released until he was ousted and
fled. But you had connected those dots already. Is this just a slogan?
Let's make sure Trump is never in a position to put any political opponents behind bars.
