    In March 2017, Flynn and his consulting firm retroactively registered as foreign agents working on behalf Turkey.

    In a Dec. 2017 legal filing, though, Flynn admitted lying in the March filings to the Justice Department, including by falsely stating that the Flynn Intel Group did not know to what extent the Turkish government was involved in the project and that the op-ed was written on his own initiative.

    republicans hired dems to make it look fair - but did not matter as they never planned to press charges because of the memo regardless what they found

    the reality is, Trump did bad things, he does a lot of bad things.... and rabid republicans let him get away with it

    The Logan Act applies to private citizens, not Flynn who was incoming NSC.

    One of the top prosecutors from Robert Mueller's team, Andrew Weissmann, says that the special prosecutor's office (and team) let the country down and ended up letting Republicans spin the actual results from the final report. While he says there was no evidence of collusion, he says that all of the obstruction of justice was clear as day and that this should have been made more clear to the public.

    Weissmann is as sleazy as they come, and very biased, having attended Hillary's 'victory' party.

    As much as they tried to create a reason there wasn't one. Why do you support government officials especially law enforcement officials trying to commit a political coup?

    FBI Agent on Flynn Case Believed Prosecution Was Used by Mueller Team to ‘Get Trump’

    An FBI agent who participated in the investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn told the Justice Department that the initial prosecution of Flynn seemed to be based on a desire to “get Trump,” according to a document filed by the DOJ on Friday....

    ....Barnett told Jensen he thought the case against Flynn, who was investigated over alleged ties to Russian operatives, was “opaque” and operated “with little detail concerning specific evidence of criminal events.”

    Barnett further stated that he was “still unsure of the basis of the investigation concerning Russia and the Trump campaign working together, without a specific criminal allegation,” after working for six weeks on the Flynn investigation.

    He was a private citizen. He was NOT part of the acting administration, therefore a private citizen until they take office.

    They really have trouble with that fact, don't they? I mean, big time issues understanding the timeline and responsibilities involved...

    But in a way, I'm glad there is no longer such a worry as the Logan Act... that will allow Joe and Kamala to get us back in the JCPOA well before January...

    Thanks General Felon.... errr..... .General Flynn...

    Stop watching Fox News.

    He lied about his contacts with Kislyak, and his discussions in Turkey.

    Actually, no they aren't. The DOJ dropped the concord case because they would have to reveal "sources and methods". But don't feel bad that MSNBC didn't tell you the particulars.

    The DOJ to this day has yet to prove the Russian hackings beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

    Ah, moving the goalposts. Now we're not concerned about sanctions. Now we're going to talk contacts.

    It's not illegal for America's NSA to have contacts with foreign actors and it's not in the FBI'S jurdisction to inquire about the executive branch.

    What Flynn should have told Comeys cronies was "need not to know" and shoo'd them out the door.

    You are correct AN. It is not illegal for the America NSA to have those contacts. The only problem was that he wasn't that when he had the contacts. And the FBI didn't alert the admin to this, the NSA did.

    He was incoming and so to me, for all intents and purposes he was. We know that the Obama team and Bush teams had contact before they took office. No such complaints.

    But then I admit: We weren't boondazzled with the lie of a century either.
