Ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn remains in legal
purgatory. What’s happened to him is tragic. The suffering being
prolonged by the courts is criminal. Flynn pleaded guilty to bogus
“lying to the FBI” charges, part of the Russian collusion delusion that
had engulfed the Obama DOJ. This circus act spilled into the Trump
administration; whose Special Counsel investigation (SCO) picked up
where the FBI left off. They pressured Flynn, reportedly threatening him
with financial ruin. There was also the sleazy way the SCO got around
attorney-client privilege for Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign
chair. Allegedly, someone within the SCO leaked a fake story about
Manafort being under a FISA warrant, which was not true. This type of
surveillance was never even considered, but it led to a judge forcing
Manafort’s own attorney to testify against him. In reality, this was a
backdoor attempt to see if there was Trump-Russia collusion. The
heavy-handed and highly unethical actions must’ve spooked Flynn’s
original legal team, who offered up this plea deal.
