1. Yes, it is treason and

Flynn is not the only one. Every senior member of the rumpie team may be guilty of treason, along with those congresscritters who fled in mass for a visit in Russia. May they one and all be shamed and punished for their behavior.

2. Let's stop this implication that Flynn has chosen to do the right thing.

He betrayed his country for personal gain.

He betrayed his co-conspirators for personal gain.

Neither is more commendable. He is a rat, with no loyalty except to himself

5. I will support Robert Mueller on this one...

I personally do not wish to break someone.....If Flynn gave us the opportunity to stop this overall GOP crime corruption...I say...roll with Mueller's call on this...

3. Besides betraying his country

wasn't he still in the armed forces when he was dealing with Russia and Turkey? If so he should lose his military pension. Treason is treason no matter how you look at it. It's a crime.

4. Flynn is a Lt. Gen.: 3-star general.

6. As an active duty officer he is subject to the Military Code of Justice

If he had 6 months of prison, that is nothing compared what he would have faced under the Uniform Code of military justice for what he did...



Yes, he committed treason against the United States along with others...

I personally understand why Mueller recommended no jail time because of his “substantial” assistance but I feel that he is a traitor none the less and was spared court martial and even death. He gets to keep his title and military pension. His son was spared prison.

I believe Mike Flynn would be lucky to have only 6 months in prison and should serve it.
