While everyone is getting lacrimonious about Michael Flynn selling his house and his legal situation, there are some things you need to remember. He was publicly fired twice, by two different presidents, long before being charged. The second time he was fired, it was over 'an eroding lack of trust,' as Spicer put it. That alone would restrict his future opportunities working inside the beltway. Selling and leaving DC was in the cards, anyway.
He's a self-proclaimed life long Democrat from a strongly Democratic Rhode Island family. In summer 2016, he was on ABC, stating he was pro-choice. The next day, he was on FOX saying he was pro-life. The man has a history of being loose with truth and facts. It's what got him fired twice and in legal trouble.
Save your tears.
