Crocket,
I posted a good conversation where Eli Lake (Bloomberg) explains what a lot of these types of transactions are about. Almost everyone in Washington takes money from Foreign Governments, essentially they paying them to tell them what certain people in Washington etc.. are thinking, what's the current political vibe.. Flynn's request for immunity was basically about this. If you hold office you officially have to declare the funds as a Foreign Government agent (Again everyone does this) Flynn it appears took money from Turkey and filed it under a different title, not the Foreign Government agent act or whatever it's called. When he ''Resigned'' he instantly declared that money in the correct way. Now does he know other stuff? Maybe, but it's now obvious he did a no no with that Turkey money.
This seems like the same type of payment. Which isn't illegal.
Not defending them, just learned myself how shady everyone is it seems. To think they basically legally sell Gossip to other countries seems shady to me.
