> Flynn is a criminal and a traitor. Sure, he committed a felony because he made a false statement to the FBI - the charge was for a 1 count of felony. But a traitor ? Some evidence would be appreciated. Tucker's unmasking is exactly the kind of thing that would be causing waves of journalistic indignation if this was the Trump administration. But hey its fine since he is dirty right-wing. Do note that his surveillance was initially denied earlier.

> But a traitor ? Some evidence would be appreciated. Search for "general flynn traitor," you'll find plenty of opinions about that with substantive reasons. Some will be about what he was doing before the Trump administration, some for what he did after Trump lost in 2020, including a public statement that sounded like America should have a Myanmar-style coup to defy the 2020 election results and install Trump again (I don't know whether to believe that interpretation or his later denial and explanation of what he said).
