      "Whatever one’s opinion of Flynn, his relations with Turkey, his 'Lock her up!' chants, his haircut, or anything, this case was never about much." This is how Democrats "reason": Flynn is a Trump appointee. So he belongs in prison. Nothing else to it:https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1261341879993610240 …

      Good piece. I just keep thinking about how the same people newly interested in civil liberties keep voting for FISA extensions.

      True - the GOP that has prattled on about the dangers of the Deep State simultaneously voting to continue or enhance its spying power is similar to Dems claiming Trump is a fascist dictator while they also do so. This time, though, the reform efforts were at least bipartisan.

      I mean, as we’ve seen with law enforcement more generally, most people are “personal libertarians” who think that the state should enforce all laws except the ones that apply to them. That goes for Flynn, and that goes for newfound “fans” of the FBI.

      I would be far more willing to listen to some of the people most riled about Flynn if they voiced any interest in broad reform and didn’t just want what happened to Flynn to happen to their own political enemies, but harder and meaner.

      Hence precisely why we should use the case as a reason to repeal the Logan Act & review 1001 & some of the other issues raised, such as using natsec investigations to surveil & place a public cloud over elected officials & their senior aideshttps://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/ending-the-flynn-false-statement-case-was-the-right-judgment/ …

      Here’s one question I have — I’m aware the Turkey issue wasn’t at play here (AFAIK), but representing Turkey as a foreign agent without registering (coupled with his anti-Glen activities) still seems…. very very bad, a kind of bad that should be discussed?

      Replying to @janecoaston @cjane87 and

      Pre-Mueller, FARA issues were settled by fines and an obligation to retrospectively register. People were not getting prosecuted for it. Almost everyone in DC was a walking FARA violation in 2015/16.

      The FARA violation he admitted to was in a filing made *after* the FBI interview.
