| | | Before you continue to besmirch someone's good name, a person who has done far more for this country than you will ever do, why don't you read what he has done. I bet you don't even know a thing about Flynn and his service to this country. Flynn is one of those people who protected this country so you would continue to have the right to express your disdainful opinion of people like him, you ungrateful S.O.B. What's more is that Flynn was not a rich man. He made no money off his celebrity and these legal actions against him and his son have ruined him and destroyed his financial stability. Over what? He made one mistake and lied to an FBI that did not read him his Miranda Rights and was deliberately trying to entrap him. His communications with Russian authorities was fully within the scope of his job as acting NSA Director to the President Elect and he committed no crime in doing that. Only his lie to the FBI was a crime and a very dubious one at that. If you want to continue to criticize him and call him a traitor, then at the very least have the decency to understand how he served this country for 33 years faithfully, you a-hole.
