Given that the entire Russia debacle has been proven to be total poop with much dodgy dealings, Flynn gets to walk with his head held high as he rightly should. I would go back and find all of the detail again, but I simply can't be fucked. He was fucked over by the FBI for telling Trump he was being watched... but hey, that's just not a popular view it seems, coz authority never lies.
He was done for acting as an undeclared foreign agent (however they word that exactly). The country involved was Turkey, not Russia. It seems you have got a thing about Russia, RDS?. Although there is that interesting photo of Flynn at dinner with Putin. Lying to the Feds is a felony, and he pleaded guilty so he may well a convicted felon depending exactly how the court case wraps up. If there was a war on he could have been done for treason, he should be hanging his head in shame, not suggesting insurrection. Apparently leopards don't change their spots?
