The judge at one point even asked if the DOJ had considered charging him with treason his actions were so bad.

On the bright side though, he now cannot plead the 5th so any subpoena by congress/FBI to speak on if there was any sort of expectation of a pardon for protection of Trump must be answered. If he were to choose to ignore said subpoena, he would then head right back to jail...so in the end this may not be a bad thing at all. Interesting to note that even Barr in his confirmation said such an arrangement would be criminal, by the president of the United States that is.

The FBI agent who interviewed Flynn makes up a 302 report and has five days to proof read etc into a final report. Except the proof read was done by two other agents....who altered the report. A violation. When Flynn's attorney requested the report,..the 302...it went missing.

In the end, It is not even a debate if he was a unregistered foreign agent, it is beyond a doubt true. He sold out his country. He should have been on trial for treason but we have for so long avoided those things in politics, but this met every facet of treason.
