On Wednesday, as General Michael Flynn awaited his sentencing, his lawyers asked for leniency, citing his long military service.
But there was another eye-grabbing part of his defense. Flynn claimed that when two FBI agents approached him about his meeting with a Russian diplomat, they failed to remind him that it’s a crime to lie to the FBI.
Michael Flynn used to be the national security advisor… he’s not someone who needs to be reminded that lying to the FBI is a crime so it’s a very strange thing to include in this document asking for no jail time.”
