Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI regarding his contact with Russian officials and business dealings with Turkey, is facing millions in legal bills, according to a report.

ABC News, citing a source close to Flynn, says President Donald Trump’s formal national security adviser has amassed legal fees of around $5 million.

Send the bill to cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc, washington post, nyt, etc. They earned it.

I think Trump now has the political capital to pardon Flynn and Manafort and anyone else who happened to be caught up in the Russia witch hunt.

[Gahanna Bob]

Manafort might get a commutation but I doubt he gets a full pardon. He could get a commutation fairly soon and a pardon when Trump leaves office.

He should have taken Corsi’s approach and, figuratively, given Mueller and his henchmen the finger.

Agreed, but these treasonous bastards were pursuing Flynn's son. I would like to see Flynn now retract his guilty plea.

[lepton]

I have trouble having any sympathy for him since it turned out he sold out and became a foreign agent. A traitor as far as I am concerned. Let him ask his foreign benefactors to cover his bills.

You might want to revisit that. Details matter.

[lepton]

$5 M and he still got busted? Hard to believe...

Word at the time was that he didn’t. He ran out of money, and the Special Counsel threatened to do the same to his son if he didn’t acquiesce.
