I think if Flynn had been cleared (as he should have been) he would have been a tremendous asset to Trump. He could have showed how corrupt the current powers that be are. He would have proven that Trump is right about clearing out the swamp.
He still lied to Pence.
Thats why he was fired.
If Flynn had entered a not guilty plea and all this sh!t came out IN A TRIAL, President Trump might be running unopposed right now.
