For money and advancement. Not even for a shred of a misplaced ideal he sold us out to Russia and Turkey. And regarding Turkey he was doing everything he could to send an innocent man back to that country so the dictator Erdogan could execute him. The history books will have an asterisk next to his name for eternity.

(33,316 posts)https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/01/michael-flynn-wrongdoing-tip-icebergFlynns guilty plea suggests hes avoiding far worse charges in exchange for cooperation with Muellers investigations. That isnt surprising, given his failure to disclose his foreign lobbying and all the reporting about his various deals with Turkey and Russia during his time in the campaign, in the transition, and even in the White House.
But theres more. According to ABC News, Flynn is sharing with Mueller how Trump himself told him to contact the Russians, at first in an effort to coordinate against Isis.
Flynns cooperation takes the trail of Russian collusion to the desk of the man we all know is at the center of this plot: Donald J Trump.

I think it depends on the pardon as my understanding is that Flynn's crimes are all Federal ones

Why he would betray the country, let alone do anything for Drumpf Inc, is a mystery.
