The FBI has reviewed intercepted phone calls between national security adviser Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador to the US and has found no evidence of wrongdoing, it was revealed Monday.

The calls were made in late December and picked up as part of routine electronic surveillance of Russian officials. They did not reveal any illicit ties between Flynn and Russia, according to the Washington Post.

The review of the calls was part of a wider probe into Russia’s interference in the presidential election and hacking of the Democratic National Committee.

So he plead guilty for lying about a crime that never existed?

I am of the opinion that just to rub the dems face in it, President Trump should hire Flynn in some capacity.  And then make a big press release about it and issue a pardon for the guilty plea.

I doubt it will happen but man it would be fun to see the dems heads explode.

Swell.  Is the FBI/Government now going to reimburse Flynn for all of the damage done to him over this bogus witch-hunt he got caught up in?

That would make some heads explode here too.

Judging from the time stamp on the source story, it was known since well before Comey succeeded in getting Mueller appointed SP.

A sad,but true fact of daily life is if you are charged with any sort of crime by the government,sometimes your only choices are to plead guilty to a lesser offense,or face bankruptcy and losing everything you have worked for your whole life to pay your legal fees.

The government,of course,has no trouble paying THEIR legal fees because they are paid with tax money.

You're kidding,right?

When has the government ever admitted to abusing the legal system to trash someone they don't like?

You’re forgetting he was fired for lying, too.  Pretty dumb of him to lie twice for no reason.
