Much about the Flynn case still puzzles me, including Flynn’s thought process. He’s been in DC for many years, especially in the “intelligence community.” He already had enemies and was forced to retire from the Obama Admin in 2012. He should quite understand the viciousness of the swamp, no? He was how at the highest levels of the Trump Admin - couldn’t he imagine that he, and others, would be targeted by the Deep State? Why did he plead guilty, when he knew he did no wrong? What exactly was he threatened with?
Also, why on God’s green earth did he hire Eric Holder’s firm to defend him? They screwed him over a second time.
We all make mistakes. His was his overconfidence that he would have the power to overcome the deep state attacks, which he knew would come. And he might have, had he waited until Trump was actually in the office. He should have never let the FBI talk to him without a lawyer present. He sidn’t think he needed one.
