The Witch Hunt continues against Trump supporters.

Now, it’s the US Army targeting General Michael Flynn over the phony “emoluments” clause.

The Washington Post reported:

The Defense Department’s internal watchdog has concluded a long-delayed investigation into Michael Flynn, defense officials said Friday, sending its findings to the Army in a case that could bring tens of thousands of dollars in financial penalties for President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser.

The investigation focuses on Flynn’s acceptance of money from Russian and Turkish interests before joining the Trump administration, a potential violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause. With few exceptions, U.S. officials, including retired service members like Flynn, are prohibited from accepting money or gifts from foreign governments. Flynn retired from the Army as a three-star general in 2014.

The inspector general’s investigation, opened in April 2017, was put on hold for more than three years amid a broader scandal that included a criminal investigation of Flynn by the Justice Department — part of what would become the investigation of Trump’s first presidential campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election led by former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III.

What I do care about is that Flynn, a career military servicemember sold his experience and knowledge upon retiring to the Russians and Turks.

According to presented evidence, Flynn gave a series of speeches, one of which was given while in Russia. That is the extent of his ‘Russia work’. The price he received was his standard speaking fee for the time, the same as it was in the other places.

As for the Turks, his business partner contracted with a *Dutch* company to do a documentary presentation on a person based on a 90-day search. The government pointedly had no evidence that the business partner knew the end client was Turkish (a member of NATO). The case against the partner was exceedingly weak and didn’t make it much past filing - and in any case was only tangentially about Flynn himself. The government’s side of the case was basically a dispute about the choice of agency/form to file with. It doesn’t come close to meeting your outrage.
