I admit, I have been disconcerted to see people on this website blaming Flynn’s problems on him, saying he lied and pleaded guilty, so he deserves what he gets.
I just don’t understand that.
I liken it to someone who gets stopped by the cops, gets a gun or drugs planted on him, then tells a lie under duress leading to a prosecution and jail time.
I even had a fellow conservative tell me that I was engaging in moral relativism when I defended Flynn saying he should be completely vindicated, have his record cleared, and be paid damages by the government.
It bothers me a great deal of what happened to General Flynn. THAT could happen to ANY one of us if we allow it to go unpunished and continue.
I agree. Why should someone go to jail for lying when they didn’t lie. His only lie was the plea agreement in saying he did something he didn’t do.
It might happen to any of us, a lot quicker, since none of us have the name recognition that General Flynn has.
I hope someone gets their professional head chopped off, but I will not hold my breath.
