Grand jury to hear evidence on Flynn’s lobbying work for Turkey

I do give Trump the benefit of the doubt. He was not a politician and had no political apparatus in place when he ran for office, so he wasn't nearly as wise about the ways of Washington as someone else would have been. But that's a good reason to steer clear of anyone who has been entrenched in D.C. for years, isn't it?

If nothing else, I hope this will rid Trump of his delusion that everyone who wears a military uniform is an honorable man.

In the case of Flynn, Trump may not have known the extent of his business dealings. I suspect Flynn now regrets not fading away to some think tank or board of directors job at a defense contractor.

Monkeying around with the swamp is a Catch 22. You need people that know how to navigate the swamp. The only way to drain the swamp is for voters to decide they want a smaller federal government.

The Conservative Tree House has an interesting take. They claim the Turkey issue was used to squeeze Flynn to help the media embarrass Pence and propagate the Russian hoax. That also helps explain why the deep state sent Russians to meet with Jared Kushner.
In other words if anyone had ANY contact with ANY Russians it was leaked to the press and would be used to embarrass the Trump administration.
And any info Flynn gave Mueller could be used to bait his perjury traps.

The Turkish lobbying was the teeth that Mueller used to keep General Michael Flynn on the ropes.

*NOTE* Notice the incoming administration was under a false-narrative siege created by the media. At the time (early Jan, 2017) ‘any contact’ with Russians was evidence of meddling/election-collusion with Russians. VP-elect Mike Pence poorly answered the question from Dickerson from a very defensive position.
