Yeah, Rush had a say about this. Tragic. What a shameful abuse of power. Seems to me eerily akin to Soviet and Chinese politics where opponents disappeared into prisons.
Did Flynn disappear into a prison camp, never to be heard from again? No.
I agree that the tactics used were unsavory and I’m not sure why they weren’t challenged by Flynn; however, comparisons to gulag treatment should be saved for situations that really warrant it; otherwise, the comparison becomes meaningless.
