GEN. FLYNN REPORTED RISE OF ISIS AND WAS FIRED
FLYNN MAY BE FINALLY RECEIVING JUSTICE
Michael Flynn was a Lt. General who served as the director of the Defense Intelligence agency in the Obama administration from 2012-2014. In 2014 he raised concerns that Al-Quida and ISIS was becoming a strong threat in Syria. He also disagreed with the U.S. support of Syrian rebels who it appeared were part of ISIS and Al-Quida. He was castigated by the Obama administration and forced to resign. His reporting did not fit into the media narrative of all was well in Syria and Iraq.
Flynn was the first casualty of the assault on the new Trump Administration. James Comey, then FBI director, admitted that he knew that the Trump Administration was new and inexperienced. He laughed when he stated that he sent Peter Struzk and another FBI agent to the white house to interview Flynn. The usual policy of such an interview would be to go through the white house council's office and have Flynn have council present. Flynn, a 33 year army veteran with a distinguished career, willingly talked to the FBI, believing it was just a routine conversation.
Flynn had no way of knowing that the entire Trump campaign was under surveillance, the FBI had a better memory of everything that Flynn said or who he met with during the political campaign.
The initial interview was recorded on a form and both FBI agents believed he told the truth, It is now reported that the forms were altered by Lisa Page. This information has now come to light.
Flynn was threatened that he and his son, who did some lobbying for Turkey, were going to be prosecuted for numerous crimes. He was given the option of resigning his position as National Security director and pleading guilty to a minor charge of lying to the FBI. Flynn reluctantly pleaded guilty, feeling he was trapped. He was not wealthy, was forced to sell his home and was financially ruined. He also feared for his son. Flynn was the first to be targeted by the opponents of the Trump administration.
It is now expected that Flynn may be the first to be exonerated. Whether his reputation and financial situation can be restored is unlikely.
The real criminals in the Russia investigation were in the Department of Justice, the FBI and the state department, they are still in the process of covering up their misdeeds.
ReplyDeleteFinally , charges against Flynn have been dropped, There should be efforts made by congress to compensate him for his financial losses. He was the 1st target of the coup leaders. Hopefully he is only the first to be exonerated.
