I'm not talking about a legal problem for Flynn with his work for Turkey. I'm talking about the awful optics of working for a totalitarian Islamic government in Turkey while serving as a senior adviser on national security matters for a nationalist "Make America Great Again" presidential candidate.
What the f#&% was this guy thinking?
Maybe he was thinking that as the incoming Nat Security advisor, the new adminstration needed to rework the arrangements obama and the CIA had forged giving Turkey free rein on its Kurdish problem in exchange for being the conduit through which the USG supported ISIS and al Qaeda attacks in Syria, including delivery of CW
Maybe Gen Flynn was using his military experience to try to structure a new strategic relationship with Turkey for a post-Assad Syria and a defeated ISIS in the region
Or maybe the Trump team was trying to work through the blowback of the failed coup in Turkey supported by the Clintons and their Gulenistas, the coup that led to closer ties between Turkey and Russia including Turkish threats against the US airbases there
Just maybe
Flynn quit working for Turkey shortly after Trump was elected. The judge didn’t know that when he made his treason statement. Obviously nether did you.
