I think there may be something to the rumors and allegations that Flynn’s son may have had some exposure with the lobbying and consulting that his dad did.
Some people who knew him well said he pled to protect his family. If true, it is very shameful.
It was a political prosecution, and as such, anything associated with it should have been voided.
I think he pled because he was out of money. The shame is not in him protecting his family, IMO, it was the prosecution of him in the first place.
