Trump-Russia conspirator Michael Flynn registers as foreign agent, admits he took half million dollars.
Former Donald Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has officially registered with the United States government as a foreign agent today, in the process admitting that he took more than half a million dollars in lobbying funds from Turkey during the U.S. election.
Flynn’s paid work for Turkey had long been reported, but he’s now acknowledging it.
This raises the question of what endgame Flynn is playing amid the exploding Trump-Russia scandal.
By registering as a foreign agent today and reporting himself for having taken the $530,000 from Turkey, Michael Flynn is essentially admitting guilt on the matter, and appears to be trying to position himself for some kind of leniency.
This move suggests that after years of unsanctioned international freelancing on his part, Flynn is now suddenly trying to get his legal ducks in a row.
Today’s action was likely taken on the advice of an attorney.
But Flynn is also facing the fact that he lied to the FBI about Russia, a felony.
So what has his attorney instructed him to do about that matter?
