The great comeback for Mike Flynn?

Retired Lieutenant-General Mike Flynn could make a comeback on the scale of Lazarus leaping up from his deathbed. Donald Trump has said that he would be very happy to have Flynn back working for him and his administration because he's a good guy. Trump loves it when he can say that someone is a good guy. Flynn's fortunes have certainly taken a turn for the better. It doesn't seem that long ago when he was facing at least a year in jail for committing the heinous federal offence of lying to the FBI. The first man to be selectd as Trump's national security adviser had gone from the dizzy heights of White House top league to the bottom of the ladder with no way of avoiding swapping his smart Washington suit for drab prison garb. But here he is today, nearly over the last legal hurdle and ready to take his place back in the Trump administration. Incredible. He may not want to of course but Trump thinks he's a great guy who has been sorely wronged and if he decides to appoint him to some nice fancy job I'm sure the retired general will do his duty. Flynn was one of the Big Names in the Robert Mueller investigation into whether the Trump campaign team had colluded with Moscow to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign and help boost Trump's chance of becoming president. He met with the Russian ambassador to Washington and spoke about the likelihood of sanctions against Russia being lifted if Trump won the 2016 election. He initially admitted fibbing to the FBI about that conversation. He also neglected to tell Mike Pence, the vice president, that he had mentioned sanctions-lifting when he chatted to the Russian ambassador. Flynn said he would plead guilty to the lying charge but then got a much fancier lawyer who told him to plead not guilty. Since then everything has changed and with Trump backing Flynn all the way, he now looks set to be totally freed from all guilt, once yet another investigation has been completed. The Appeals Court ordered the judge in the Flynn case to drop the prosecution but the said judge has himself appealed against that decision. A bit odd but he is in his rights. But as far as Trump is concerned Flynn is now in the clear because he said in an interview that he would welcome Flynn back into the fold. Flynn has always had friends in high places.
