Mike Huckabee told Pirro that the Justice Department had been “sucker-punching a wonderful, fine public servant and military hero like General Flynn. In a newly unsealed document that comes a day before Flynn is due to be sentenced, Flynn’s business partner Bijan Kian has been charged with illegally acting as an agent of Turkey. The Flynn Intel Group is referred to as “Company A” in the filing, and Flynn is referred to as “Person A.”The indictment lays out a kickback scheme that made it seem as if a Turkish businessman was the Flynn Intel Group’s client, when, in fact, it was the Turkish government. Flynn authored an op-ed about Gulen that ran in the Hill newspaper on Election Day — Nov. 8, 2016. The Flynn Intel Group didn’t register its foreign lobbying until March 2017 — after Flynn had been relieved of his duties as national security adviser for lying to the White House about his contacts with Russia.
