(6,228 posts)Folks have talked about this for several years here on DU but in reality nothing has ever been done and most likely never will be. We can complain all we want, and will. There seems to be no will on the part of the powers that be.

But I believe that Flynn will be court-martialed, he has basically advocated to the over throwing of a government.....and he had ties to being a foreign agent and he basically lied about that .....but since he was granted a "pardon"....he cannot be tried under the doubled jeopardy clause of the law, for his previous lying to another crime, but this a separate different issue ......but like I said we will see were the chips fall......

Agree with him on the other points though.
