Well, he may get a bigger fine or something worse.
Punishable by up to 5 years in jail...not sure where you think he's gonna get off with a fine or something. 5 years is not nothing...
But Trump didn't tell him to lie to the FBI.
How do you know? How do we know Trump didn't tell Flynn to talk to the Russians?
So I don't see how any of this makes Trump guilty of anything.
Don't know...but if as Comey testified under oath, Trump made it clear that he wanted the FBI investigation of Flynn to go away. It's also reported that he asked other to talk to Comey about backing off of Flynn. Remember Coates and Rogers in from to the Intelligence Committee? They refused to answer whether or not Trump asked them to do something–they said they didn't feel "pressured" but they refused to answer the question whether or not Trump asked them to talk to Comey.
So, is Trump guilty of anything? We'll see...while Comey said he was not part of an FBI counter intelligence investigation I think now he may indeed be under investigation for obstruction of justice. And I think Trump will get his chance to testify under oath...he may well rue the day he declared he is
“100%” willing to testify under oath about his interactions with James Comey, insisting the former FBI director was untruthful during his testimony on Capitol Hill. I'm pretty sure Marc E. Kasowitz must have slapped himself in the forehead when he heard Trump agree to testify under oath...Trump really needs to keep his mouth shut about all this but he's incapable of doing so.
So what does he do?
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!'
"
prevalent"? Huh?
"
Totally illegal?"
Not even close (on a number of levels).
You're still hoping for Trump and Russia collusion even though Clapper and Comey said there's nothing there.
Are you talking Trump and Russia personally or Trump Team & Russia? Comey never said there was no evidence of collusion between Trump "satellites" and Russia just that Trump wasn't under investigation...and you might want to get off using Clapper because he came back and said don't quote him on the no collusion stuff because he wasn't even aware that the FBI had been investigating since last July.

Donald Trump’s Mostly False claim that James Clapper said no collusion found in Russia probeOur ruling
Trump said, "When James Clapper himself, and virtually everyone else with knowledge of the witch hunt, says there is no collusion, when does it end?"
Some of the public statements by those with knowledge of the FBI investigation do not support Trump’s claim that "virtually everyone" privy to the probe says there’s no evidence of collusion. While Comey has not described specific evidence, he has confirmed that sufficient credible information exists for the FBI to consider the Russia probe a high enough priority to warrant an investigation.
As for Clapper’s statement, it’s apparent Trump has twisted the former DNI’s words to make it appear as if he’s ruled out the possibility that evidence exists showing the Trump campaign colluded with Russian interlopers during the 2016 election. But Clapper’s statement was that he had no knowledge of collusion -- not that collusion didn’t occur. Clapper has since stated that his capacity as DNI would not necessarily give him the kind of access to the FBI investigation that one would need in order to determine whether or not evidence of collusion exists.
We rate Trump’s statement Mostly False.
