Gentleman Flynn

"He is a great gentleman" - Trump.

In 2016 Flynn received half a million dollars as an unregistered agent of a foreign power while serving as senior adviser on national security to the Trump campaign.

In July 2016, as a keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention (he was a registered Democrat), Flynn led chants of "Lock her up!" Later he said "if I did a tenth of what she did, I'd be in jail today" (lol).

In September 2016 he held a meeting with Turkish officials. They discussed abducting Turkish fugitive Fethullah Gülen, who was living legally in the US, and forcibly removing him to Turkey.

In December there were further discussions - a figure of $15 million was mentioned - but nothing came of it. This may be because Flynn served just a few weeks as National Security Adviser before Trump fired him for lying to the Vice President.

In May 2019, referring to Flynn's appointment, Trump tweeted: "It now seems that General Flynn was under investigation long before it was common knowledge ... why was I not told so that I could make a change?"

Now he has been totally exonerated. :)
