No he was never "convicted" of a crime, he pled guilty under pressure ( I pointed this out several times, by showing the declassified documents in the forum) by a dishonest FBI investigation, under the Mueller guidance that ended in failure 2 years later when he couldn't post any prosecution charges against Trump.

A guilty plea results in conviction. By pleading guilty, the defendant admits to all elements of the crimes to which he is pleading. Likewise, the defendant admits that all material facts alleged in the charges are true. Therefore, a guilty plea serves as an adjudication on the merits of a case.

Yes, he was convicted. That's what happens when you plead guilty.
A conviction is nothing more than the process of judicially finding someone guilty of a crime; the state of having been proved guilty. If they admit to the crime and admit to all the material facts in front of a judge, that's the adjudication of their crime.
Flynn did exactly that. Twice. He was convicted.

No he was never convicted by a Jury or even had a trial proceeded to a conclusion:
Here is what really happened which explains WHY Flynn changed his plea:
The Federalist
Here’s Why Judge Sullivan Can’t Legally Punish Michael Flynn For ‘Perjury’
By Leslie McAdoo Gordon
MAY 18, 2020
Excerpt:
Why Did Flynn Plead Guilty?
When Flynn pleaded guilty, and again when he was originally scheduled to be sentenced by Sullivan, he acknowledged under oath that he was guilty of making false statements to the FBI agents who questioned him about his telephone conversation with the Russian ambassador. He made these statements, however, while he was represented by counsel who had an apparent conflict of interest and before the government disclosed that the FBI lacked a legitimate reason to question him about the telephone call.
More recently, after Flynn obtained new counsel, he moved to withdraw his guilty plea and submitted a declaration stating that he was innocent of the crime. The potential discrepancy between that declaration and his earlier statements appears to be the basis for Sullivan flagging the perjury issue.

The FBI originally said there was NO Derogatory evidence to run on, the reason for closing the case:
The Last Refuge
♦ January 4, 2017 – The FBI Washington Field Office informs the intelligence community via an Electronic Communication, they are closing the 2016 Flynn investigation.

======
Right after that it was Peter Strzok who kept it open, despite having no reason to do so.
♦ January 4, 2017 – FBI Agent Peter Strzok says don’t close it.
After that they in meetings planned to pressure Flynn into lying....
That is WHY he was rightfully pardoned.

No he was never convicted by a Jury or even had a trial proceeded to a conclusion:
A trial isn't necessary for a conviction. Adjudication is. And a person pleading guilty to the charges and admitting to the material facts of the case before a judge satisfies the requirements of adjudication.
A conviction is nothing more than the process of judicially finding someone guilty of a crime; the state of having been proved guilty. If they admit to the crime and admit to all the material facts in front of a judge, that's the adjudication of their crime.
Flynn unambiguously admitted to the crimes and the material facts of the case before a judge.
Twice. He was convicted of his crimes.

You realize that's a fact, right? Flynn made his living being an agent for Erdogan of Turkey. They are a NATO member that is behaving more as.if they are aligned with Russia than they are with NATO. Patriot, or GREAT patriot?
