Flynn selling house to pay legal bills in Trump probe...

[HipChick]

Michael Flynn, the retired Army general and ex-Trump national security adviser who pleaded guilty last year to lying to FBI agents about his Russian contacts, has put his Virginia home up for sale to pay mounting legal fees, friends and family members told ABC News.

Flynn's 13-year-old, three-bedroom townhouse in Old Town Alexandria outside Washington, which he bought three years ago, was listed for sale in December with an asking price of $895,000 — money he will use to pay his high legal defense debts, his brother Joe Flynn said Monday.The retired three-star general and former Defense Intelligence Agency director withdrew to his hometown of Middletown, R.I., last year after he was dismissed by President Donald Trump 24 days into his role as national security adviser, later becoming embroiled in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Flynn pleaded guilty on Dec. 1 to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian officials. He misled agents during a White House meeting early in 2017."I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this has been a trying experience” for Flynn and his wife, Lori, his youngest brother told ABC News. "It has been a crucible and it's not over."

1. "It has been a crucible and it's not over." Meanwhile hillary spends her days strolling in the

Woods but you sure had fun leading a vengefull hate-filled mob in chants of lock her up. Didnt you

4. Thanks for putting my exact thoughts into words.

What an evil, disgusting man he is.

5. Youre welcome and agreed he is a vile person and hopefully he wont get

Anywhere near what he's asking for the house

[mreilly]

10. Agreed as well...

.... karma is a bitch, Flynn. I have ZERO sympathy. I hope you end up bankrupt and jailed like your little buddy Trump!

2. Greed and the quest for power often have

lasting consequences.

Fuck all the traitors and treasonous scumbags. I'll spare my sympathy for the poor folks who lost their homes to sub-prime mortgages.

3. Too Bad

Many regular people who get in trouble don't have the resources Flynn has. I have no sympathy for a man who ruined his career by choosing to be a zealot for the far right. He has no one to blame but himself. What sucks is that he probably worked a deal where he gets to keep his full military pension which is usually stripped or reduced for actions unbecoming of a General Officer.

6. Fuck Flynn he is a traitor

7. That makes me happy.

A part of me isn't proud of that fact, but so be it.

8. I wouldn't be surprised if it sold for $55 million to a guy named Sergei McSergface

In a deal where Jared picks up a 75% commission on the sale.

9. But he is still collecting his military pension.

Can they take that from him due to the conviction??

12. Found this answer to your question

Generally, yes. Being convicted of a crime almost never jeopardizes a federal pension – the rare exception to this rule are charges relating to criminal disloyalty to the United States: espionage, treason, sabotage, etc.

13. Thanks!

11. Someone who is a Trump fan, or Trump himself

will buy it, then never pay him, and he'll have to put it up on the market again.
