This is the best spin the Republicans are coming up with? General Flynn violated the Logan Act, lied about his actions and may have committed treason but this Congressman thinks it was the "cover-up" that ended General Flynn's tenure. He thinks General Flynn did an "honorable thing" by resigning! Really?! These people have no shame, morals or patriotism.

Representative Kinzinger is just another fact-free Republican liar.
