It's not even that.Yes, they're playing games. I heard about him acting as a lobbyist for Turkey months ago. It was not a big deal except he had forgotten to register as a foreign agent. Did anyone think he would be working for them for free? Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems to be a bombshell that went off months ago and we're just now hearing the boom?Notice the key word "Appears"....as in could be, or we think he is, not that he is in direct violation of....Tit for tat? Getting back for the Nunes fiasco? I wouldn't put it past Chaffetz, to be honest. All those boys are just game playing these days.His lawyer says he got permission.As a retired General he had a shit load of other laws he was supposed to follow. Generals need permission to have relations with Russia. That is why he is claiming he gave briefings to the agency he used to work for.You sure hope so.
Regardless of the fact that everything he did was legal and as a private citizen, not when he was a member of the Trump Administration. But that FACT seems to escape you. He's only mentioned periodically to keep this fake Russian connect rumor alive.
So who's lying.....Congressional establishment assholes trying to score political points, or his lawyer?
Gee......tough choice.
Lawmakers Say It Appears Michael Flynn Acted Illegally In Taking Russian Payments
If they weren't making this stuff up there wouldn't be any speculation at all.
I tend to question anything that Democrats and Republicans agree on. Usually it's bullshit.
