Flynn Restored to Post

Here's something from Victor that we're sharing on Facebook and Twitter:
I am chagrined that Lt.-Gen.(ret.) Michael Flynn Michael Flynn was forced to resign his post as national security adviser.
I quote Caroline Glick from: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0217/glick021717.php3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
“The campaign against Flynn was based on highly classified information regarding conversations Flynn held with Russia’s ambassador to the US during the transition process in December. Under US law, intelligence agencies are prohibited from divulging the identity of US citizens whose conversations with foreign intelligence targets are intercepted.
“The law is in place for good reason. As Eli Lake wrote in Bloomberg on Tuesday, ‘Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored by the FBI or NSA gives the permanent state the power to destroy reputations from the cloak of anonymity.
“This is what police states do.’
“In the event, an FBI investigation of the conversations after they were leaked concluded that Flynn did nothing illegal in his dealings with the Russian ambassador. But criminalizing Flynn was never the object of the leaks – making him politically toxic was the aim. And it was accomplished on Monday when he resigned.
“It appears likely that Trump became convinced that by sacrificing Flynn, he would end the insurrection US intelligence operatives are waging against his presidency. But as The New York Times made clear on Wednesday, the opposite is true.” END OF QUOTE
Trump stated that while Flynn did no moral or legal wrong before or during office, he had lied to VP Mike Pence about speaking to the Russians. President Trump must not allow his unscrupulous enemies to have their way. Let Flynn be restored, forgiven of his “white” lie, even as Trump overlooked James Comey, Director of the FBI, for his offenses and granted him to continue in his position.
Is it impossible to reinstate Flynn now that he was forced to tender his resignation? I believe he’s the man, very capable of fulfilling the post with wisdom and integrity.
