Michael Flynn. Convicted felon. Should he still receive benefits as a retired military general? Should he now be court-martialed?

So the FBI can lie to you and not be punished but if you lie to the FBI then you go to jail. Something is wrong here.

I'm of the opinion that Gen. Flynn should not be punished twice for the same offense.

So to be clear here... The General "told a lie" to the FBI while being investigated for evidence of a crime that never actually occurred? And are you advocating that the General should loose his benefits because he testified improperly in an investigation that had no basis in reality to begin with? To turn the table on this question, suppose someone accused you of beating your wife (we will assume this has never happened); there was no corroborating evidence but the police investigate anyway. In the course of your questioning you are asked what you ate for breakfast and you omitted to include the second cup of coffee you drank with creamer in it. Having obtained contradictory evidence from your eldest child, the police charge you with lying; so after being convicted in a plea deal wherein you provided testimony about your eldest child speeding the week previously - we should take your retirement check away from you... Cuz... you lied... about a fake investigation... that should never have even been started... Does this cover it?
