pretty clear what went down here. If Flynn didn't take the plea then the inquisition would continue-
which is why he took the plea to begin with.
Sorry. Again, you don't have a clue.
Michael Flynn wasn’t entrapped
By court order, former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s “302” — notes of his FBI interview in which he lied about his contacts — was released Monday. Rather than show that he was tricked into incriminating himself or didn’t realize the gravity of the interview, the notes show that FBI agents offered him every opportunity to come clean, even reminding him of a possible contact with Russians regarding the United Nations. The interview record “shows Flynn’s lies were direct and knowing,” says former federal prosecutor Harry Litman. “There was nothing sneaky or circuitous about the agents' questioning. They served it up to him directly, and he responded with direct lies.”
The New York Times reports:
Mr. Flynn claimed that he did not remember ever asking [Russian ambassador Sergei] Kislyak that Russia restrain its response, the agents wrote in the document, known as a 302. He told them that he did not even know about the Obama administration’s decision to expel dozens of Russian diplomats and to seize two Russian-owned properties in the United States because at the time the sanctions were imposed, he was on vacation in the Dominican Republic, without access to television or to his government-issued BlackBerry phone.
Mr. Flynn also has acknowledged lying to the agents about his conversations with Mr. Kislyak involving Russia’s impending vote in the United Nations on an Egyptian-sponsored resolution to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank. He has admitted that he asked that Russia either delay or oppose the resolution.
But in their account of their interview, the agents stated that Mr. Flynn said he had merely inquired about Russia’s views on the resolution.
Asked whether he had advocated that Russia take any particular position, “FLYNN answered, ‘No,’” the agents wrote. Instead, he “stated the conversations were along the lines of where do you stand, and what’s your position,” they said.

No reasonable person, let alone a retired general, could have failed to appreciate his obligation to tell the truth. Trump apologists claiming Flynn was treated unfairly once more are embarrassed when facts are put forward.

There's much more .. including how his son is implicated. Flynn was covering his own ass .. got caught.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
