Flynn is far from an innocent man. That is why he is facing jail time. The short version is this. In December 2016, as a private citizen, at the behest of private citizen Donald J. Trump, Flynn made a deal with an adversarial Russian government through Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak, the ambassador to the U.S. Then he lied about it, first to the vice-president, then to the FBI. He was fired by Trump on Feb. 13, 2017, making him the shortest serving National Security Advisor in American history.
Lying to the FBI gets one jail time as many of Trump's close associates have found out, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, George Papadopulous, Richard Pinedo, Ales van der Zwaan, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, and Flynn.
Flynn broke several federal laws, which is why Trump fired him, although now Trump is swearing to Flynn's innocence, a development that doesn't shock anyone. The point is, November 3 can't come soon enough. Trump's lackey, William Bar, is freeing a felon because the President wants it to be so. It is time for Trump, Barr, and the other cronies in the White House to be removed from office.
Can you believe this? Barr decided that the case did not meet the legal standard. That Flynn’s lies were not “materially” relevant to the matter under investigation. “The government is not persuaded that the Jan. 24, 2017, interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe Mr. Flynn’s statements were material even if untrue.”
In other words, according to Barr, it was okay for Flynn to lie to the FBI and the Vice-president even though they were grounds for dismissal by the President.
That is surreal. It is obvious Trump no longer wants a second term.
Flynn should not make any long range plans. As soon as we have a new A.G. no doubt Flynn will be indicted again.
Flynn is guilty. He even said so.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
