        Yup. And now he will probably sue.

            He might, but given that he lied to the FBI and admitted guilt twice, I doubt a suit will have any legs.

              you mean the FBI lied about him lying to them, evidence we have now shows that. and since they forced Flynn to falsely plead guilty by threatening his family I think it will.

                That's pretty spin-heavy; if it were remotely factual, Flynn wouldn't have spent a day in jail.

                The reality is far-less beneficial for Flynn. Whatever else he was accused of, he lied to the FBI - which is a crime, even if he was "forced" to do it (which isn't an actual thing in American jurisprudence). He admitted to it twice, too.

                You realize that there are tens of thousands of examples of people pleading guilty to things they weren't guilty of, and having to spend time in jail for it - right? It happens all the time with plea deals, which are a necessary part of the justice system in this country. SO just because he was "forced" to say something he didn't agree with - isn't a basis for dismissing a case.

                That's why any suit will probably fail.

                            Already did. Fake news site, associated with Russian propaganda. Not credible, and anyone who cares about their own intellectual integrity would not cite stories from it and then demand that others disprove them. Find the same story from a site with at least a minimal amount of credibility, and it'll be worth my time reading/considering.

                                The article I read indicates this could still get appealed to the entire U.S Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. After that, SCOTUS. This isn't final yet.

                                I'll bet legal scholars will be debating this case long after we've forgot who Michael Flynn is.
