Or, like Scooter Libby, he could have simply had not the best memory of what was discussed in which discussion and with whom. It easy to conflate or mix up things at times. At least he didn’t try to weasel out by saying “I don’t remember” in 57 different ways as the Clintons & ‘RATS do.
This is different than Libby. In this case, he had business dealings, he was corrupted and compromised. Flynn deserves the conviction. Montford will deserve his, Podesta his as well. I suspect will see a handful of these folks ultimately getting convicted, of their corrupt and compromised business and political practices. It is a shame that Trump let them get so close to him that he gets stained by their guilt.
