Flynn was in violation of both federal law and the US Constitution Emoluments Clause which forbids former military members from getting paid to lobby for a foreign government without written permission from congress or the Secretary of the Army which he never got. Flynn was lobbying for both Turkey and Russia without explicit permission to do so. Technically he could be brought back to active duty and tried in a Courts Martial for what he did or be charged in a federal court but that would be pointless with Trump as POTUS like so many other things with Trump it establishes a dangerous precedent for future incidents because they will argue a uneven application of law because Flynn wasn't prosecuted so why should they?
