An imaginary conversation
Reporter: “Why was the case against Michael Flynn dropped?”
Dept of Justice (DOJ) Spokesperson: “Obviously, because he’s innocent.”
Reporter: “But, he pled guilty!”
DOJ: “Yeah, he did that.”
Reporter: “So he admitted that he had done the illegal acts they accused him of.”
DOJ: “Obviously, he didn’t know any better.”
Reporter: “Didn’t know any better? He was a frickin’ three-star general! Of course he knew better!”
DOJ: “We all make mistakes.”
Reporter: “He was caught and he admitted–on the record–to being guilty!”
DOJ: “But he got better.”
Reporter: “No one “gets better” from being guilty!”
DOJ: “Flynn did, which proves you’re wrong.”
Reporter: “President Donald J. Trump fired him because he was guilty!”
DOJ: “But as I told you, he got better. Even the President noticed and refers to him as an innocent man who was attacked by human scum.”
Reporter–Stands up and walks out
DOJ: “Where are you going?”
Reporter: “To visit a friend-of-a-friend who works in the visa section of the New Zealand embassy.”
