I disagree for a very specific and focused reason.
Where Flynn did make a mistake was in assuming that people working for the FBI were Americans working on the same team towards the same goals, which would have been, prior to 1/24/2017, not only normal and rational behavior for any person in his role, but required.
Your flawed characterization is based on what we NOW know took place leading up to, and on 1/24/2017 at the newly ensconced Trump White House. You assume that knowledge now is knowledge Flynn should have had then about the seditious and illegal activity of the FBI and DOJ.
Don’t be like the people we see, even here on Free Republic, who stupidly and openly state that “Because Flynn pleaded guilty, he must have down what those people set him up to be accused of, therefore he deserves everything he got. He only has himself to blame.”
Don’t be one of those people.
Re: 119 - I’m sorry, but I don’t see it that way.
Let me ask this (as I don’t know the answer). Has a National Security Advisor ever met with FBI counterintelligence agents for a formal interview without ANY legal counsel present?
There was a concern, rightly or wrongly, that Flynn was under some type of foreign influence. The FBI investigated.
I believe Flynn exercised poor judgement when he did not take affirmative steps to have White House legal counsel present at the meeting. Frankly, that was not even his decision to make (to not have counsel present). The National Security Advisor represents the President on matters regarding national security.
