Michael Flynn. Convicted felon. Should he still receive benefits as a retired military general? Should he now be court-martialed?

Under Article 2 of the UCMJ, the Army maintains court-martial jurisdiction over retired personnel. Army Regulation 27-10, Military Justice, states “Retired members of a regular component of the Armed Forces who are entitled to pay are subject to the provisions of the UCMJ.

So the FBI can lie to you and not be punished but if you lie to the FBI then you go to jail. Something is wrong here.

LTC Gary Earls - LTG Flynn is a 3 star general. A specialist knows that you never lie to a federal law enforcement officer.

The retired U.S. Army lieutenant general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia during the presidential transition.

I did not have sex with that woman, 11 million dollar investigation determined that he did get a blowjob, which any man will tell you yes, that’s sex.
Bleached a computer and phone to concel the classified material she illegally had.
Stole classified material as VP and hid it in his garage, but his mind is to far gone to prosecute, BUT he’s still fit to be the sitting president.

I say leave his military pension alone if his infractions did not occur in service to the military. They are unrelated.

PO1 Kevin Dougherty - Not only that he was told that if he fought it they would be going after his son and family. He couldn't fight it, do you know any retired Officer that had deep pockets? By the time his court case was held he was broke.

CDR Cynthia Ramsey - Your comment that Flynn is trying to destroy our country is laughable and a typical delusional leftist comment. Our country is being destroyed by the radical Democrat administrations.

Sgt Robert Albertson - You and I both took that very same oath, do you suppose that we should also be accountable to the UCMJ for actions after we got out? I think that you're a tad misguided. I hold myself honor-bound to the oath, but not under law.

I'm of the opinion that Gen. Flynn should not be punished twice for the same offense.

Amn Joseph H. - Are you deliberately ignoring this guy trusted with national security secrets was taking money from an enemy country not automatically a traitor? What about members of Congress and the current President?

I believe every member of the military is a U.S. citizen and the laws of the land still apply to all citizens. Therefore, it would be a violation of our laws to try a citizen twice for the same offense. Yes, I was subject to the UCMJ when I served in the Army. I didn't agree with the double jeopardy then and I am of the same opinion now.
Just sayin'.

In my opinion, While I agree with you SGT Meza, that general fin should not be punished twice. In actuality, he has not been punished at all. He was convicted once and he then used his get out of jail free pass (Presidential Pardon), but that doesn’t relieve him of the military responsibilities annd regulations since he WAS using the cloak of General no one relieved him of the UCMJ articles.it would not be double jeopardy..
