For the left, it’s not enough to hamstring a political opponent. The person must be completely destroyed.
Shortly after Donald Trump was elected in November 2016, Obama’s deep state went after General Michael Flynn, whom Trump had named as his National Security advisor. After falsely accusing him of colluding with the Russians, the DOJ prosecuted him for lying to the FBI (and threatened his son) and, when that case collapsed, the judge refused to allow the DOJ to dismiss the case. Even though he was vindicated, the legal process impoverished Flynn. You’d think that, with his honorable career and his finances destroyed, that would have been enough for the left, but it wasn’t. Now, Biden’s Department of Defense is trying to force Flynn to return speaking fees from 2015.
Just the News has the story, which it sums up as follows:
The Biden Pentagon recently alerted retired Army Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn it plans to recoup from him nearly $40,000 he received for attending a dinner in Moscow in 2015, claiming he didn't clear the speaking fee in advance and therefore violated the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. But documents from Russia special prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation tell a far different story.
The documents, reviewed by Just the News, show Flynn in fact alerted his former agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, ahead of the dinner and got approval to use the trip to spy on Russia's leadership and specifically its GRU military intelligence unit.
The operation was blessed in advance by senior DIA officials, including Vincent Stewart, the Marine general who had succeeded Flynn as DIA chief. The former Trump administration national security adviser was even given tasking orders and a counterintelligence briefing before he departed for Moscow in December 2015.

Most of the corruption is on the left. Republicans need to take the fight to them,,,only it will be for things that are real.
Correct and they must be held accountable, legally and at the ballot box.
Additionally, every deep state Republican that's also corrupt needs to be held accountable AND voted out of office.
The fact is this: our Government who's supposed to represent the will of the American people has thought for decades already that we work for them. We're to be subjogated.
They don't fear us. They should. That's the true balance of power in this country and it must be restored by all legal means necessary and failing that, it should be done in the spirit of our Founding Fathers.
The Democrat obsession with Flynn is truly mystifying. The author attributes it to the habitual vindictiveness and brutality of the left, but it almost seems to me as if they are afraid of him for some reason and want to make sure that they have destroyed his credibility as well as his person.
Obama is a hateful SOB.
Beware of double-agents, especially those set up to appear to be on the Trump side who push everyone’s patriot buttons.
Check to see if they are Pro-Trump.
If you knew the truth, you would be shocked and angry.
The o ly way off the Obama Hit List is Death.
It appears he knows something they are afraid will get out. If that’s the case it’s easy to understand their desperation to destroy him and any credibility he has before it can come forth.
The Dems are out to destroy Flynn. If I were Flynn I would tell ALL.
Of course “The Big Guy” fees are exempt from the emoluments clause because they’re technically grifts and bribes, not emoluments . . .
“The Biden Pentagon...”
Should be The Biden Pentagram
Debt forgiveness for people who steal from the USG happens all the time.
This is REALLY how Democrats regard military heroes.
