Maybe not pretty stupid, but prone in recent years to making pretty stupid decisions.
I don’t remember what profile it was that I read, but it suggested that Flynn might have spent long enough steeped in a certain information warfare capacity within the Army that it started to warp and corrupt his thinking and judgement.

I want to know how Flynn explains the fact that the DoD (after his resignation from military service) sent him a letter every year explaining to him the rules on ‘foreign entanglements’ and he signed the letter knowing he was getting money from the Russians AND the Turks and I think the Saudis – trying to get nuclear technology, that was what the phone call on the dais of THE INAUGURATION was about – and thus broke DoD regulations.
At one point I read that it was under consideration to stop his military pension (a general!) until he ‘paid back’ the million or so bucks he got from the Russians, Turks and ‘others’ which would be a real financial loss.
I want this particular POS in jail or living in a dumpster.

Probably has been reassured by Barr that if he perjures himself, Trump will pardon him.

Could Trump interfere in other ways than a pardon? Could Trump direct Barr to direct the prosecutors to lighten up on Flynn or put in new attorneys?

He’s getting a pardon.

Maybe there’s a significant reason he doesn’t want to testify against Bijan Kian, and this kerfluffle is an attempt to avoid that. If he hadn’t screwed up his earlier sentencing hearing his cooperation would have been completed long before the Bijan trial.

I would bet good money that Barr has been in touch with the new legal team and told them that if Flynn shuts up NOW he can count on a pardon.

Open, metastasizing corruption in the Executive Branch. Barr, Trump and Flynn deserve to die in jail. What say America? Is this A-Ok?

Obviously this means Ivanka Trump must be designated United States Ambassador to the U.N.

Lock Flynn up.
I hope the Feds also bring charges against Mike Flynn Jr. who is as much of a traitor and Putin whore as his father.

And if I was the new legal team, I’d demand that pardon in hand now, even if there was an agreement to keep it secret until a later date.

It they did that they would need pardons for themselves, since it is obvious obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Pardons all around, fine. But if Barr is already promising it, that’s the crime committed already.

Wikipedia:
In June 2013, Michael Flynn became the first U.S. officer to be allowed inside the Russian military intelligence (GRU) headquarters in Moscow, where he arrived at the invitation of the GRU chief Gen Igor Sergun.[33][34] His follow-up trip to visit the GRU HQ as Director of DIA was not allowed.[34]
Stefan Halper, who worked for three Republican presidents and was a longtime informant for the American intelligence community, had a February 2014 encounter with Flynn at a London intelligence conference. Halper became so alarmed by Flynn’s close association with a Russian woman that a Halper associate expressed concerns to American authorities that Flynn may have been compromised by Russian intelligence.
Re: Sergun’s death:
Two days after his death, the U.S.-based global intelligence company Stratfor questioned the official version of Sergun’s death citing an unattributed report that alleged he had died on New Year’s Day in Lebanon.[11] In early March 2016, a similar theory was suggested by the Lebanese daily Al Akhbar that alleged Sergun was killed when on a visit to Beirut in a “complicated secret mission” carried out by unnamed Arab and Middle Eastern intelligence agencies.[39][40] His death was cited as one in a series of “dozens of high-profile” Russian officials’ (as well as Putin critics’) sudden deaths, such as Vitaly Churkin’s (February 2017), in “the past three years in Russia and abroad in suspicious circumstances” in a publication by USA Today of 2 May 2017.[41] The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed such media reports as rumours.[42]
During a 24 January 2017 questioning by FBI agents at the White House, then-U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Flynn said “he called Amabassador Kislyak following Sergun’s death in Lebanon”.[43] After Flynn’s FBI interview summary was released on December 17, 2018,[44] the Russian Defense Ministry issued a denial that Sergun had died in Lebanon, calling the story “conspiracy nonsense”.[45]

He’s apparently a Dunning-Krueger level egomaniac with a completely unrealistic assessment of his own capacities. Bitter and jealous.
