All I need to know about Flynn was that he was working as a lobbyist for a foreign Islamic government (Turkey) while he was serving as s senior advisor to Trump's “Make America Great Again” presidential campaign. He was paid to write an op-ed piece in support of Turkey that was published in the Washington Post ON ELECTION DAY IN 2016, for heaven’s sake.

I may be the only one here who feels this way, but this guy has “Beltway Swamp Denizen” written all over him.

[Alas Babylon!]

I hear you but can’t help think this is what thousands of swamp dwellers and courtesans have always done.

In other words, why is Flynn singled out when so many have done and are doing such things even today?

For example, Obama’s campaign team dispatched to Israel to fight the Likkud party?

Biden’s boy in the Ukraine?

Right now, democrat (and Republican) operatives are helping all kinds of foreign governments with all kinds of propaganda/electoral help with people who also work for democrats in Washington.

If Flynn is a dirty rotten scoundrel for this than so is George Stepphanopolous for politicizing from behind the anchor’s desk. Former wannabe Speaker Dick Gephardt still makes $1.2 million annually from Turkey!

No, he was not working for a foreign government, he was working for a private Dutch company called Inovo BV.

The company is, however, owned by a Turkish businessman. The businessman was alleged to ‘have ties’ to Erdogan, but that’s pretty vague, like Trump’s alleged ‘ties’ to Epstein turned out to be.

The reporters must be a bit fuzzy on their allegations too since they only said Flynn ‘might have aided the government of Turkey,’ rather than making the usual prejudgement and claiming he did.
