He may not have lied. He may have misunderstood, he may have forgotten something, if you remember that transition was a whirlwind. It may also be that since Babi asked for help, Flynn May have thought it was none of their business. Remember, you dont have to be under oath to lie to the FBI
He didn’t misunderstand. Having run the DIA for Obama OF COURSE he knew that calls to the Russian Ambassador were recorded, he’d used intel from such calls himself. He did what he did intentionally, and as he said today, he is willing to pay the price. The mission was accomplished.
General Flynn is a very brave man.
