While this was obvious to anyone paying attention, it is still absolutely outrageous.https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-03-08/former-trump-security-adviser-flynn-admits-turkey-lobbying?src=usn_tw …

Flynn was (unregistered) foreign agent for Turkey while advising Trump campaign. Day after election he wrote this:http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/foreign-policy/305021-our-ally-turkey-is-in-crisis-and-needs-our-support …
Day after Trump wins, Flynn (acting as undisclosed foreign agent of Turkey) writes an op-ed calling for extradition of Fethullah Gülen.
-
-
DOJ has rebuffed extradition demands it fears are politically motivated by saying Turkey must substantiate claims per extradition agreement.
-
Career DOJ attorneys determine whether there is sufficient evidence for extradition to insulate against improper political pressure.
-
Yet day after election, the soon-to-be National Security Advisor outright demands DOJ capitulate and hand over Gülen for political reasons.pic.twitter.com/lTDqnzUxmW
-
Meanwhile, FARA requirement to register as foreign agent of Turkey has slipped Flynn's mind (too busy winning elections and penning op-eds).

Tonight
@thehill added a "we had no idea" disclaimer. Daily Caller first reported on op-ed and Turkey ties Nov 11: http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/11/trumps-top-military-adviser-is-lobbying-for-obscure-company-with-ties-to-turkish-government/ …pic.twitter.com/z0w1ZetRpX -

@Susan_Hennessey (The day he wins.) -
@Susan_Hennessey Small point: I've tended to think this was one more sign that many on the Trump campaign expected to lose.

@Susan_Hennessey@sarahposner We used to call that#espionage -
@Susan_Hennessey Another new low. They keep on coming. Flynn's title should be Supreme Swamp Thing. -
@susan_hennessey You can’t really expect him to follow all the ethics and lobbying rules can you? That’s for other people. Lock em up. -
@Susan_Hennessey these people are so damn dirty and corrupt -
@Susan_Hennessey MOST important part of this "op-ed" is the editors note! -
@Susan_Hennessey How is this allowed??? Please explain as I am five year old because I honestly cannot wrap my head around this. -

@Susan_Hennessey does Flynn know that he's a charter school magnate, tho?#priorities -
@Susan_Hennessey Gülen is a figure that must give today's#GOP so much cognitive dissonancehttps://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/08/120-american-charter-schools-and-one-secretive-turkish-cleric/375923/ …

@Susan_Hennessey SO UNETHICAL. Ugh. Amoral thug. -
@Susan_Hennessey Drain the Swamp? Fill the Swamp is more like it. -
@Susan_Hennessey it least he wasn't in a position to improperly influence US policy (#irony)
