Why you think about the rhetoric and radicalization of Michael Flynn? Do you guys think that he should be in jail and be stripped of his retirement pension?

Here is an Atlantic magazine article about the former general. Flynn was a great staff officer, but struggled as director of DIA. He allegedly became fixated with the alt-right and demanded that the agency twist evidence to meet conspiracy theories instead of develop theories based on facts.

Opinion: Trump already pardoned him and punishing for previous crimes would be unconstitutional. He should be forced to testify about his former activities during administration and on January 6th since accepting a pardon theoretically waives 5th Amendment rights.

What Happened to Michael Flynn?

In military intelligence, he was renowned for his skill connecting the dots and finding terrorists. But somewhere along the way, his dot detector began spinning out of control.

I am not sure what the President's pardon of Flynn covers.

What crimes has he been charged and been convicted of? Perhaps they should look into your comments for the same charges.

why is this reposted? First off - what crimes? that he misremembered a meeting that was politicized by democrats into an assault on a Trump ally? That the FBI was weaponized by the democrats in order to push a false narrative of russian collusion?? And no, He should not be in jail, nor was the "crime" committed while he was an active duty Soldier, so he keeps his retirement.

General Flynn did nothing wrong. He was a political target and was performing is duties when speaking to a foreign official. He was accused of something he didn't do and as the questions were more designed as accusations, he wasn't hiding anything and didn't intentionally lie. He denied an accusation which was manipulated politically into charges as our alphabet agencies no longer serve the public but are weapons against the citizenship....
