For the record, Michael Flynn is a lifelong DEMOCRAT and an Obama appointee (to a highly sensitive position). That alone is reason enough to be suspicious of him, especially when considering the hard Left shift of the party in recent years.
Michael Flynn: "because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.

Michael Flynn was invited to attend and speak at the 10th Anniversary gala for state-controlled Russia propaganda outlet, Russia Today RT. He was given a seat at the same table as KGB/FSB Putin.

"It was December 10 [2016], and Vladimir Putin was the guest of honor at RT’s 10th anniversary dinner, at Moscow’s Metropol Hotel in the shadow of the Kremlin. ...”
“Seated next to Simonyan at the dinner and just two seats away from Putin himself was perhaps the most intriguing example of how the Russians have gone about recruiting disaffected members of that establishment: a rugged-looking man in a tuxedo who less than 18 months earlier had been head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s powerful in-house equivalent of the CIA.
Michael Flynn, now a private citizen after a reportedly disgruntled retirement, was not there to gather intelligence. His attendance at the RT [Russia Today] gala, before which he also gave a talk on world affairs, appeared to inaugurate a relationship with the network—presumably a paid one, though neither Flynn nor RT answered queries on the subject.
Flynn now makes semi-regular appearances on RT as an analyst...

Michael Flynn, was (still is?) a "semi-regular" guest on the state-controlled Russian propaganda media outlet, Russia Today (RT).

“Despite repeated assurances that he hadn’t meddled in US foreign policy during the presidential transition period, Flynn reportedly assured the Russian ambassador to the US that sanctions placed on the country by President Obama would be eased once President Trump took office.
Compounding the situation, Vice President Mike Pence [misled by Flynn] repeated Flynn’s claim in media interviews.”

Lol! Flynn was/is a lifelong democrat. An Obama appointee. That alone is reason to be highly suspicious of him.
Plus,
with his warm and fuzzy relation with KGB Putin, he was totally at odds with senior Trump officials who (rightfully) don’t trust Putin one bit. I hope you’re not one of those otherwise excellent FReepers being swayed by the disingenuous lowlife Putinistas?
Nothing can draw me from Trump!
I now have lots of faith in Trump. I didn’t last year following his flattering of Putin. It appears he’s learned a lot from his great cabinet picks. Flynn and they were on opposite sides when it came to Russia.
