I think we’ll never know the level of threats DOJ, etc., were holding over Flynn regarding harm to his family. No different than how the mafia would operate. Most likely reason for Flynn’s failure to speak up and defend himself.

This is pure speculation without any evidence to support it.

And I'm not even talking about Flynn "speaking up" in a public way. I'm talking about Flynn actually fighting the charges in the first place instead of copping a plea deal over a non-existent crime.

“This is pure speculation without any evidence to support it.”

Did you not see the word, “think”, in my post? Everything everyone posits about Flynn at this point is “pure speculation”. EVERYTHING.

They were likely to go after him and his son for FARA violations concerning his business dealings with Turkey. Pleading guilty to misstatements about talking to the Russian ambassador added validity for the appointment of the special council and justification for trying to frame Trump for obstruction of justice.
