"Lock him up! Lock him up!"

Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, misled Pentagon investigators about his income from companies in Russia and contacts with officials there when he applied for a renewal of his top-secret security clearance last year, according to a letter released Monday by the top Democrat on the House oversight committee. His failure to make those disclosures and his apparent attempt to mislead the Pentagon could put Mr. Flynn in further legal jeopardy. Intentionally lying to federal investigators is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Separately, he also faces legal questions over failing to properly register as a foreign agent for lobbying he did last year on behalf of Turkey while advising the Trump campaign, which is also a felony. {This is the guy who started the "Lock her up" chants refering to Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Republican Convention -- Spinshield} Source: "Michael Flynn Misled Pentagon About His Russia Ties, Letter Says" By MARK MAZZETTI and MATTHEW ROSENBERG - NY Times - MAY 22, 2017
