Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was paid more than $67,000 by Russian companies before the presidential election, according to documents released Thursday by a Democratic congressman.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland asked the Trump administration to provide a comprehensive record of Flynn's contacts with foreign governments and interests.
Flynn accepted $33,750 from Russia's government-run television system for appearing at a Moscow event in December 2015 — a few months before Flynn began formally advising President Donald Trump's campaign — and thousands more in expenses covered by the network and in speech fees from other Russian firms, according to the documents

Life-long democrat Flynn was absolutely a Russian stooge. See my FR home page for his connections to the state-run Russia propganda media outlet Russia Today (RT).
Thanks for the ping. :)
Using your logic if Mexicans in the USA wanted to be closer to Mexico they’d be right to have that nation attack us. Hitler and the Sudetenland Germans were right to dismantle Czech-Slovakia with threats of war. And the attacks on Poland made sense because of the Germans in Gdansk.
So Mike Flynn’s a “douchebag” and I’m an “idiot”? Damn, you sound like a liberal: shorts on facts and long on name-calling. Furthermore, I wasn’t criticizing Trump, I was pointing out a fact that happens to be as irrelevant as the fact that Mike Flynn has been a lifelong Democrat.
According to public records, Trump was a Democrat until 1987 (the Democrat Party was full of Marxists long before 1987) and left the Republican Party in 2011, before he re-registered as a Republican in 2012 - none of which means a damned thing, anymore than the fact that Paul Ryan, John McCain and Lindsey Graham are registered Republicans, as was Hillary Clinton at one point in her miserable life.
And how about the sweetheart (that is, less than honestly earned) Russian deals of Hillary’s campaign manager, John Podesta?
Yes, Flynn should be able to do everything Hillary did. That way both parties would be equally corrupt. Striving for anything else is just wrong.
Except they aren’t the same and Flynn’s already gone. (He lost me at Turkey, but I don’t understand how any of these ex-military types who have gone into either lobbying or the equivalent get hired back into an admin at the level they do.
