I believe one of the problems Flynn faces is that he didn’t meet one of the terms of his plea deal when he refused to testify in the trial against his former business associates. And he lost a lot of sympathy from me back in 2017 when his lawyers informed Trump’s legal team that they would no longer be cooperating with them during the Mueller investigation.

His “defense” looks like it’s been a train wreck.

The charges against Flynn were very weak, and could have been defended at trial with a good chance of success.

But Flynn wanted to protect his son from legal jeopardy, something which seems to have been lost in all this.

People object to this “extortion” and understandably so, but that is the system we have until people demand change, and they will never demand change because they are too busy cheer-leading when “extortion” is used against the bad guys.
