      Grand irony: the underlying action that Flynn now admits he lied to the FBI about was urging de-escalation with a nuclear power, which is now no longer permissiblepic.twitter.com/Vh4Nxz0nWK

      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

          Do you comprehend that he pled DOWN to the criminal offense of lying to the FBI, while he was serving in office You go do five years in prison and tell us how innocuous it feels.

          Lying to investigators has always been illegal, regardless of the "underlying action". Anyhow, this is just the tip of the iceberg. You ought to start drafting your public mea culpa, because the story you have been consistently downplaying and denying is about to blow wide open.

          this tweet appears to presume this is the only time he lied to the FBI or this is the only crime he committed. This is just the one he's being charged with at this time.

          Do you honestly think Flynn would risk lying to the FBI over something "innocuous"?

          Do you not understand that he is pleading down (i.e. a lesser charge) because they're giving him immunity for more nefarious behavior so they can get him to testify against others? Why are you being this obtuse if not to minimize your past incorrect conclusions.

          if I were Flynn's lawyer & we had to make a deal, I would want it to be for the most innocuous instance, wouldn't you? (I am presuming a deal has been made though that is not yet established)
