If you lied about what you had for breakfast that is not criminal. He was charged for lying about something that had no consequence because no crime was being investigated.
There was an investigation and no one denies Flynn lied to the FBI.
The FBI investigation may not have been legit but that doesn't mean they didn't see anything wrong with his behavior, which was the claim in the article.

Is what you posted true? I thought lying to the FBI was a crime. At least that is what I have read on FR.
