Not the first, and won't be the last time that innocuous conduct gets criminalized due to FBI involvement. (Flynn's incompetence obviously also a factor)

That said, however innocuous the underlying conduct, any ordinary person who lied to the FBI would be severely punished. So it's right for the same standard to apply to a powerful figure like Flynn

Odd how that goes away b/c lying to FBI is higher on their list or kidnapping plot never really happened ...

LOL. He violated the Logan Act. That seems to be a vital piece that maybe you “forgot”

Repeated lying about contacts with Russians means you probably didn't collude with those Russians? Interesting argument. "Honey, I know I've been lying about all of those texts messages, but that only proves I'm not having an affair!"

Yes, I saw it. But testimony about what? That per some reports senior officials and POTUS directed him to talk to Russia and other countries in December?! That's diplomacy, not illegal. Lying to the FBI agent&writing false statements is.

That's just what he pled guilty to. He pled guilty to that in order to avoid prosecution for more serious charges. One of them might have been conspiracy to kidnap on behalf of Turkey.
