The Pentagon hasnt found any documents indicating that Mike Flynn received authorization to accept money from a foreign government before traveling to Moscow in 2015 for a paid Russian state TV event, according to a letter from the acting Secretary of the Army.
The Pentagon finding came after lawmakers raised questions about whether the former White House national security adviser and retired U.S. Army general violated Pentagon rules that require retired officers to report income from foreign states.

FOXNEWS in my opinion was always covertly on the LEFT.
But in 2016, they went full CNN.
I guess this is what happens when you hire democrats for your republican administration to try to show “cooperation”.
Maybe his next pick will be a good conservative republican, someone who isn’t tainted by years of working in democratic circles where rules don’t apply.
I don’t know how they define “income from foreign states”. Does anyone doing ANY business constitute this “income” and if they are applying this to a Flynn media appearance, why hasn’t anyone looked into the Clinton Foundation dealings with a multitude of “foreign states” and the income she received?
So he did not file documents, but did he get paid? If he did it for free, like an interview, that is OK?
Fox has been mostly on the Neo-con side, which on many things is like the left.
Thank you, RC one!
Who was president in 2015 ?
I don’t get it. It is painfully obvious that members of the Obama Admin. did far worse than this on a daily basis. What is the media hoping to achieve other than outing their own bias?
you are very very wrong. They are not a conservative station but with Hannity and Pirro and a few others they are nothing close to CNN, which is a propaganda unit for the left-wing 24 hours, seven days a week. They are not nearly close to CNN. in fact they replace Megan with someone who is much more conservative. I don’t watch except for the Bates anymore but I don’t watch much TV. I still see Hannity and Jeanine and they are very good.
If, IF, he illegally accepted money from the Russians then that is why he left.
she’s not a retired military officer
and a regular officer is never really retired, just serving in a reduced capacity - if they want to call you back they can
the inquisition may try to mess with his retirement and rank
I can see this coning from Chuck Schumer
that the GOP (MCCAIN!) goes along with this inquisition is OUTRAGEOUS
Hardly.
Just do what Democrats do. File an amended document of some type and claim ignorance.
BTW. Another OBAMA FAIL as this happened on his watch.
Did Flynn retire in late 2014?
The story cites travel in 2015.
Where is the beef in this burger?
Concur, CNN (the wolf) is worse. FOXNEWS (in sheep’s clothing) is different.
CNN had Lou Dobbs for years. Arguably better than Hannity. I like the FOX ones you mentioned also, good people.
But Conservatives need to know that for 15 years, the FOX NEWS war on terror screen scrolling drumbeat was a “big government / deep state” drumbeat and most didn’t see it coming.
Now we have a “big government / deep state” problem.
I think Chuck Schumer will be laying low for a bit since he was the one predicting that the FBI can ( I am paraphrasing ) take Trump down.
But thank you for enlightening me on the military. I didn’t know that “retired” doesn’t really mean retired.
BTW you have to listen to this prank call to McCain

I hope that this is not legit but it seems to be.
“The Pentagon finding came after lawmakers raised questions about whether the former White House national security adviser and retired U.S. Army general violated Pentagon rules that require retired officers to report income from foreign states.”
Simply because RT is owned by the Russian government does not mean that it is not an independent news operation that just happens to be based in Moscow, nor does Gen. Flynn’s right to free speech end when he appears on Russian media.
I suspect Flynn will be taken to court and convicted of one or more crimes for the underlying heinous crime of accepting a position with the Trump Administration. It will take an appeal to get a conviction overturned and, depending on where the case is begun, maybe it will require going to the Gorsuched USSC for that.
Those laws only apply to people who are not Democrats or other Communists.

Let’s just hope Jeff Sessions proves you wrong! I really think that Trump is helping them snare themselves. I pray every day that it happens.
