Grift is good

In case you missed it former NSA in Mango Mussolini's first term, Gen. Richard Flynn, was given an out of court "settlement" of $1.2 million dollars for malicious prosecution for a crime he himself pled guilty.

He filed his first lawsuit during the Biden administration but the judge threw it out... because he was guilty.

He refiled after Mango Mussolini got reelected and before it could even go to court the DOJ is settling for the full amount asked by Flynn...for the DOJ prosecuting him for a crime in which he pled guilty.
