I don’t think that is true, and in prior posts, you seem to have granted validity to Flynn having lied, unless I misread them. My belief is that Flynn *CAN* and *WOULD* be convicted of lying. It may be a “minor” lie; it may be a “harmless” lie, it may be a raspberry with pecans lie, but he did tell lies.

I assume Flynn lied because he admits it in this pleading. My point was that it seems impossible to convict him of this if the only evidence of it is the wiretapped communications with Kislyak which presumably cannot be admitted as evidence in a U.S. criminal court.

Like it or not, fair or not, Flynn probably has the best deal he’s going to get in hand, right now. That’s my opinion.

I think you're right. It certainly explains the decisions he has made during the course of this case.

“I assume Flynn lied because he admits it in this pleading. My point was that it seems impossible to convict him...”

If he admitted he lied, that is 98.2% of a conviction, on the spot, and that 1.8% will cost him several hundred thousand dollars to reverse. That’s just the way it is.
