Michael Flynn was only able to serve his position as Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser for less than a month before he had to step down following a controversial call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that he allegedly lied to the FBI about.

Then-President Barack Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn only two days after the election, but his warning was hardly prophetic. Flynn didn’t have to resign for any real wrongdoing – but because he was framed.

The key details we knew thus far are this:


    On December 29th, 2016, Michael Flynn received a phone call while on vacation in the Dominican Republic from Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

    Earlier in the day, in retaliation for Russian interference in the election (not collusion), then-President Barack Obama forced the closure of Russian-owned compounds in New York and Maryland, and slapped new sanctions against Russia. Is there any doubt that such a move would prompt Ambassador Kislyak to call Flynn, Trump’s National Security Adviser at the time, to discuss what had just happened?...

It’s not alleged. He entered into a plea for it. He was also fired for lying about it.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

It's also true that those interviewing him didn't think he lied about it.  Let's wait until more information comes out before we decide we know exactly what happened.

We do know exactly what happened. First, he was fired for lying, so both Trump and Pence came to that conclusion, ahead of the Mueller investigation. Then, he entered into a cooperative agreement with prosecutors. His sentencing was postponed many times, due to joint filings by prosecutors and defense counsel. When his sentencing date finally arrived, the no-nonsense judge everyone was certain would toss the charges was actually incensed he wasn’t charged with more. Naturally, however, the twice fired, self-serving, lifelong Democrat, Flynn, just has to have been railroaded.

Well, ok then.
